Pale ale with golden amber color in a pint glass

Castle Creek Pale Ale

5.8% ABV

Citrusy and resinous with a clean, dry finish. Brewed with local hop concentrate and a touch of flaked oats for a silky mouthfeel.

Medium Body Hoppy 18 IBU
Dark stout in a tulip glass with creamy head

Cape Fear Stout

7.2% ABV

Rich roasted coffee and dark chocolate with a velvety pour. Aged on local espresso beans for an extra layer of depth.

Full Body Roasty 45 IBU
Crisp golden lager in a pilsner glass

Sandhills Lager

4.9% ABV

Crisp, clean, and impossibly refreshing. A Czech-inspired pilsner with a delicate honey sweetness and a bitter snap at the end.

Light Body Crisp 32 IBU
Hazy pale sour beer with tropical fruit notes

Barley Swag Sour

5.4% ABV

Mango, passion fruit, and a tart finish that makes every sip addictive. Dry-hopped with Sabro and Mosaic for maximum aroma.

Medium Body Tart 12 IBU
Cloudy wheat beer with banana and clove character

Downtown Hefeweizen

5.2% ABV

Traditional Bavarian yeast strain producing notes of banana and gentle clove. Unfiltered and effervescent — like liquid bread pudding.

Medium Body Fruity 15 IBU
Robust porter with chocolate and caramel notes

River District Porter

6.1% ABV

A smooth, approachable porter with layers of cocoa, toasted grain, and a hint of vanilla. Drinkable enough for any night.

Our Story

A Brewing Passion Rooted in Wilmington

Prestige Brewing was born from a simple conviction: that great beer doesn't need to be complicated — it just needs to be made with care. In 2018, our founders turned a passion for homebrewing into a full-fledged brewhouse right here on Castle Street.

Every batch starts with a question: what would we want to drink? That curiosity drives our process — from selecting local ingredients to experimenting with unconventional yeast strains. We brew in small batches so every pint meets the standard we'd set for our own tables.

Today, Prestige is more than a brewery. It's a gathering place — for friends, for strangers who become regulars, for anyone who believes that a well-crafted beer can make an ordinary evening extraordinary.
