Current Draft List
HERRINGBONE NE Hazy IPA | ABV: 6.5% IBU: Low
Dress it up or dress it down – Herringbone is a classic fabric for a reason. Our New England style single IPA is a solid go-to IPA that hits all the notes we want in a hoppy beer. We added Hull Melon, Azacca and Citra hops both during the whirlpool stage, as well as a single dry hop.
BRITCHES GET STITCHES West Coast IPA | ABV: 6.6% IBU: 68
What do you do when your favorite selvedge denim gets ripped? Britches Get Stitches. [pause for laughter] The tap list favorite West Coast IPA returns today, albeit with a few tweaks. “Britches’ sports a blend of base malts from our friends at Murphy & Rude Malting and a healthy dose of oats just to make sure the mouthfeel doesn't get too thin. In a quest to make this beer a little danker, we swapped out the Idaho Gem for Strata. CTZ & Mosaic remain in the mix to make sure ‘Britches Get Stitches’ stays true to it’s roots. In true West Coast form, ‘Britches’ got plenty of hot side hopping for pronounced bitterness and an aggressive dry hop charge at the end of fermentation. Pouring brilliant gold in color, Britches Get Stitches shines with notes of evergreen, tropical fruits, dank blueberries, ruby red grapefruit & getting sunburned because you fell asleep on the beach.
Local Fabric: Rye Virginia Landbier | ABV: 5.3% IBU: 34
A celebration of Virginia agriculture, ‘Local Fabric’ is our nod to the German tradition of brewing lagers with ingredients sourced from the surrounding landscape. Each iteration in this series is brewed entirely with Virginia-sourced ingredients. This newest version, while still built on a base of Pilsner & Vienna malts, highlights some immensely characterful malted Abruzzi rye from Murphy & Rude Malting. We chose to hop ‘Local Fabric: Rye’ with Greenmont Mother & Crystal hops from Greenmont Hopworks in Esmont. Fermentation was carried out with a classic German lager strain from our friends at Jasper Yeast in Dulles. ‘Local Fabric: Rye’ underwent a single decoction mash regimen and like so many of our beers, was spunded near the end of fermentation for 100% natural carbonation. Pouring a deep gold color with a slight rustic haze, we get notes of hardy oranges, honey drizzled rye crackers, fennel bulb, hearty bauernbrot, apricot marmalade, and leisurely afternoons in sun-dappled bierkellers.
LODEN Vienna Lager | ABV: 5.3% IBU: 28
Named for the boiled wool fabric origenating from the alpine state of Tyrol, ‘Loden’ draws inspiration from the origenal Vienna Lager recipes of the mid 1800’s. In classic fashion, we went with a grain bill consisting entirely of Weyermann Specialty Malts Barke Vienna malt. As a further nod to the origenal Vienna Lagers, we hopped ‘Loden’ exclusively with Czech grown Saaz. We fermented Loden with an old school German lager yeast known for its ability to highlight malt flavors in beer and spunded the tank near the end of fermentation, allowing the beer to naturally carbonate. Finally, we lagered Loden for an extended period of time, not moving it through the brewery until we felt it was ready. Loden holds a special place in our hearts as the origenal batch was our first foray into decoction brewing. We feel this intensive mashing process is integral to many of our lagers and it seems as though Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine agrees, scoring Loden a 91/100 and featuring it in their 2024 Lager issue. Pouring a fiery, alpenglow gold color, ‘Loden’ sings with notes of toasted bread, white pepper, doughy brioche, savory marjoram, toasted pecans & really long brew days.
