This mid-coast IPA is smooth yet sassy, crisp but not quite sharp. It smells as good as it tastes, so you will want to have more than one.

Hoo's Your Daddy IPA

Class III IPA takes you to the next level but not over the top! Overtures of grapefruit and pine, with a hoppy bite and an unbelievably smooth finish. Bringing East and West Coast styles together, this mid-coast IPA creates a raging wave of flavor that keeps life splashy! Let’s fill the cooler because Whitewater demands Great Beer for great rivers.

Class III Whitewater IPA

A Seasonal Holiday Ale, deep orange in color, with the rich flavor of real pumpkin, allspice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the malty flavor of the brewing grains. Serve in a glass rimmed with nutmeg, brown sugar, and cinnamon to enhance this holiday Ale's special flavor. Try dropping a small scoop of vanilla ice cream in the pour and turn this pumpkin ale into a liquid piece of pumpkin pie. Goes well with your favorite holiday dinner.

Preston Harvest Ale

HIGH BRIDGE ALE, like the high bridge itself, is elevated high above other beer styles with its Clean, Crisp, and Fruity Flavors. Tucked away deep inside the Cheat Canyon, this iconic bridge and gathering place high above the Cheat River connects both banks of the Cheat Valley. HIGH BRIDGE ALE, brings sweet orange peel, coriander seeds, malted wheat, and malted barley all together in one glass. Hefeweizen in style but totally West Virginia in its uniqueness and high quality. Cheers to gravel roads and hard-to-reach places.

High Bridge Ale

Rolling over the crest of this iconic rapid, the paddler is met with a cacophony of three converging currents forging a rowdy turbulence that leaves the wayfaring paddler with one unforgettable ZINGER of a ride! This IPA is much the same with a crisp and refreshing taste and fruity flavors, it's anything but straight forward. The combination of three different hops results in a collision of refreshing and unexpected flavor which gives you a ZINGER of a beer that you won't forget.

Class IV Zinger Hazy IPA

A Light, full-bodied, and well-balanced beer for any occasion or, for no occasion at all! It's a good choice for even the most discriminating. 

Bold Blonde Ale

James F. Dooley is the Grandfather of Crista Johnson (Owner) on her mother’s side. In honor and recognition of James F. Dooley, we have developed as true an Irish Red Ale as possible this side of the Atlantic. By researching old recipes and using the finest malt and hops from the British Isles. We have created a traditional dark malty Irish Red Ale for your drinking pleasure. “Sláinte!’

Dooley’s Irish Red Ale 

An airy beer with strawberry & mango flavors. This beer is meant to be enjoyed poolside. Go ahead and knock one back and wait for the island breeze to start.

Mama’s Mango Ale

This one will change your mind about fruity beers. Light in nature with a wonderfully delicious aroma of fresh strawberries. It's wildly sensitive to your taste buds but not overpowering, it's pleasantly surprising.

Wild & Wonderful Strawberry Ale

A hybrid Style Blonde/Pale Ale. Very smooth with a bite of cascade hops and the aroma of Simco dry hops. A very, almost too easy drink that goes well with all foods. It's a great hot summer day beer with just a hint of lemon/lime in it mixed in with other citrus notes. This beer is brewed in cooperation with the West Virginia Land Trust as a reminder that good beer and life require clean water.

Muddy Creek Ale 

Just like the rough-cut lumber we build with, we have cut our newest beer out of grain and hops that are roughly fantastic. Rough Cut Porter is a mild 5.7 ABV dark beer that is full of flavor. You will taste the maltiness of the 2 Row Pale, the Chocolate, the Coffee from the specialty grains, and the taste-enhancing overtones of Nugget & Willamette Hops. Finishing with a wonderful smoothness, great mouth feel, and a lingering taste of a great beer.

Rough Cut Porter

A dark rich porter made with English malts and yeast and a healthy dose of Buckwheat Honey rounds reveal flavors like nothing you have ever tasted in a beer. You can almost smell the Buckwheat cakes baking within this very well-balanced aromatic brew. Welcoming Prestonian's home for the annual Buckwheat Festival.

Buckwheat Honey Porter

A Milk Stout with Peanut Butter that just says go sit by the fire and enjoy your meal. This beverage contains Lactose (a milk sugar) and Peanut Butter Extract. You also will taste notes of sweetened coffee, espresso, and chocolate. Pairs wonderfully with Oysters, Broiled Meats, and Pancakes with sweet syrup.

Roger and Crista Johnson started the brewery in 2015 as a means for Roger to stay home after 21 years as a truck driver traveling all around the United States and Canada. Screech Owl has allowed Roger to leave the life on the road, spend more time with Crista, family, friends, their grandchildren, and make some darn good craft beer in the process.
