This one’s a gold-medal winner!

At Brewgaloo, we’re not just here for great beer—we’re here for stories. And Aches & Alements from Flying Bull Beer Company is full of flavor and heart. Brewed in collaboration with Bull City Physical Therapy, this Scotch Ale was recently recognized by Untappd as the highest-rated Scotch Ale in North Carolina. That’s no small feat—and trust us, one sip and you’ll understand why.

What’s in the glass?

Aches & Alements is rich with notes of malt, caramel, and toffee—smooth, slightly sweet, and full-bodied without being heavy. It’s the kind of beer that makes you slow down and savor, and it’s quickly become one of Flying Bull’s most popular offerings.

Meet the Brewer: Joel Miles

Joel and his partner Anna didn’t just fall in love with each other—they also fell in love with craft beer. What started as a shared hobby turned into a homebrewing obsession, and ultimately, a full-blown business.

They’ve called Durham home since 2020, and found the perfect place for Flying Bull Beer Company in the heart of the Innovation District. “Durham’s grit, charm, and fierce community spirit match our vibe completely,” says Joel. That commitment to community shines through, not just in the beer, but in local partnerships like the one with Bull City Physical Therapy that led to Aches & Alements.
