- BSAJ 2024 500mL Bottle$24.00
Bourbon. Stout. Almonds. Joy. 12.1% ABV Imperial Stout Aged in W.L. Weller and Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels with Almonds, Toasted Coconut, Vanilla Beans, and Cacao Nibs
- Supa Chalupa 500mL Bottle$14.00
Agave Triple IPA Aged in Tequila Barrels with Motueka, Lime Zest and Salt 10.1% ABV Our first barrel-aged TIPA! Four months of aging in Cincoro Añejo Tequila barrels provided pleasant citrus and vanilla notes to the already agave nectar-infused base beer. After emerging, we dry hopped with limey New Zealand Motueka hops along with fresh lime zest and just a hint of salt. That late addition of hops will make this drink (and age) like a traditional IPA, so store it cold and drink it fresh!
Low Stock, LAST CHANCE!
- Heir to Ruins 4pk$18.00
Heir to Ruins ($18/4-pack) - 8.2% ABV Belgian Tripel We brewed our Tripel using Belgian Pilsner malt and hopped with English Goldings and German Saphir. We combined two monastic strains for restrained fruit (banana and orange) and spice (pepper and clove). One reason that Belgium has a tradition of stronger beers is that until 1984 bars and restaurants couldn't serve distilled spirits. Despite the strength, this beer is easy to drink thanks to a crisp finish and restrained bitterness.
- Machin Shin 4pk$16.00
Machin Shin - 5.0% ABV Schwarzbier Tomatoes aren't native to Italy. Chile peppers don't originally come from India. Maris Otter isn't a German barley... sometimes ingredients and techniques from unexpected places are required to create the flavor we are looking for! This dark lager has a wonderful bready flavor thanks to the blend of German and English base malts, along with the espresso-like char of German roasted barley. Lagered cold for a clean background that lets the grain shine!
- Pilsner Kopírovat 4pk$17.00
Pilsner Kopírovat ($17/4-pack) - 5.5% ABV Czech Pilsner We did our best to copy what makes Czech Pilsners so special floor malted Czech Pilsner malt (ours was from Raven in Záhlinice), and expressive Saaz (we used the slightly fruitier "late Saaz"), along with a clean malt-accented lager yeast. We couldn't import 500 gallons of low-mineral water from Pilsen... but a reverse osmosis filter achieved the same result, softening the hop bitterness and rounding out the malt flavor.
- Radiant Zest 4pk$17.00
Radiant Zest ($17/4-pack) - 5.9% ABV Pale Ale with Fresh Lime Zest and Ginger We love combining citrus zest and hops! For this one we added the zest of 100 limes to enhance the saturated tropical aromatics from the hops (Hydra™ and Simcoe®)! Then we infused it with fresh ginger root to provide a beautiful warming spice, perfect for the cold months of the year!
- Smuzi Berry Pie a la Mode 4pk$23.00
Smüzí Berry Pie à La Mode – Smoothie Sour Ale with Blueberry and Blackberry Puree, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Vanilla Softserve 6% ABV A Sapwood smoothie sour... what a time to be alive! We loaded this batch with blueberry and blackberry purees, and the spices that go along with it to make berry pie! Then we added vanilla soft serve mix to bring the rich creamy flavor of a scoop of ice cream on top! It's sweet with a thick texture from all of the fruit and the richness of the ice cream.
- Smuzi Island Whip 4pk$23.00
Smoothie Sour with Passionfruit, Guava, Cream of Coconut, and Mango Dole Whip® A Sapwood smoothie sour… what a time to be alive! We loaded this batch with the tropical flavors of passionfruit and pink guava purees. Then we added extra richness with both cream of coconut and Mango Dole Whip! It’s sweet-and-sour with a thick texture from all of the fruit and the richness of the coconut and soft-serve. Each sip will transport you to an all-inclusive island resort! Roll the can before opening to ensure an even texture in the glass!
- Smuzi Pina Colada 4pk$23.00
Smoothie Sour Ale with Pineapple, Coconut, and Lime Zest (... and no lactose 5.5% ABV A Sapwood smoothie sour... what a time to be alive! We loaded this batch with pineapple puree, cream of coconut, flaked coconut, and fresh lime zest for a Piña Colada. It's sweet with a thick texture from all of the fruit and the richness of the coconut. Roll the can before opening to ensure an even texture in the glass!
Cans (Online/In house)
- Bottle Green 4pk$16.00
Pilsner Hopped with Perle 5.1% The recipe is simple: German Pilsner malt and water from Liberty Lake in the mash, Hallertau Perle in the kettle, and a malt-forward German lager strain in the tank. Some brewers say that Pilsner is the most difficult beer style to brew because it doesn't hide mistakes. We did our best! The result is grainy, grassy, and crispy. Difficult for us to brew, but easy for you to drink!
- Bottle Silver 4pk$17.00
Pilsner Dry Hopped with Sterling 5.1% ABV The German Reinheitsgebot (German beer law) has been updated several times over the centuries. One of the most recent updates (2012) finally allowed dry hopping! While we brewed this Pilsner with heirloom German Pilsner malt, we dry hopped it with American-grown Sterling. Sterling is a hybrid of German, Czech, and American varieties and inherits herbal-spice from the European parentage to go with citrusy notes.
- Can I Get a Wit-wit Crowler 2pk$13.00
Citra and Bergamot DH Belgian Witbier 5.5% ABV This week's draft/crowler variant is Can I get a Wit Wit! We brewed a 3 bbl batch at Black Locust inspired by one of Mike's old homebrew recipes for a wit-IPA hybrid. This one is dry hopped with Citra and Bergamot hops to "stand in" for the orange zest traditional to the style. Indian coriander brings linalool and geraniol, two of the compounds found in Citra hops.
- Copley 4pk$18.00
West Coast IPA DDH with Nectaron® and Citra® 6.5% ABV The DTC Team has long been Sapwood-boosters. So when they asked if we'd collaborate on this West Coast IPA for Downtown Crown Wine and Beer's 10th Anniversary we jumped at the chance! Copley takes the classic style's dry finish and firm bitterness, but updates the aroma with a modern tropical twist. New Zealand Nectaron hops bring notes of passionfruit and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to balance the orange-dankness of American Citra!
- Crescent Hill 4pk$16.00
Vienna-Style Lager 5.8% ABV Few styles exemplify beer's "liquid bread" moniker as much as Vienna lager. The toasted German malts provide the same sorts of melanoidins created by the Maillard reactions of protein-sugar-heat you'd find in an artisanal loaf. Like bread there isn't much sweetness left behind after the clean lager strain and cold lagering. Like bread, freshness is key so this beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized!
- Drink It Down 4pk$16.00
English-style Brown Ale 5.7% This isn't an India Brown Ale, or a Sour Brown, or an Imperial Brown. It's just a classic Brown brewed with English Maris Otter, Chocolate, and Caramel malts. Hopped with Crystal, and fermented with our house English Ale. The result has notes of coffee ice cream, toasted bread, and orange marmalade.
- Exaggerated Truth 4pk$19.00
Hazy IPA DDH with Cashmere 6.3% ABV We occasionally divert a few gallons from a batch for experiments dubbed “Mad Fermentations.” Our usual goal is to manipulate the fermentation to enhance the perception of fruity hop aromatics. Sometimes the results are good, others we learn something… This recipe started as Mad Fermentations Vol 4. It was our favorite and luckily one we immediately received calls to re-brew. It’s an IPA fermented with a blend of English Ale and Hefeweizen strains, then double-dry-hopped with Cashmere. Sweeter than our typical IPAs with a tropical aroma of lemongrass and candy.
- Flip Flap 4pk$18.00
Pale Ale with Coconut and Vanilla Beans 5.7% ABV When we opened we weren't expecting to have budget line-items for vanilla and coconut... but we do now! This one started as Snip Snap Session, then we added flaked raw coconut and vanilla beans! Coconut adds rich-creaminess to the vanilla beans' marshmallow-clouds all layered on citrusy and tropical hop aromatics.
- Front Porch Swing 4pk$18.00
Pale Ale with Peach Tea 5.6% This beer was inspired by the feeling of sitting on a front porch swing in summer, sipping peach-flavored ice tea. We leaned into the underlying peach and apricot aromatics of the hops (Vista and Southern Cross) with a delicate addition of peach-flavored tea. The tea itself adds herbal notes helping to balance the fruity aromatics. The finish balances the sweetness of the pale malt, juiciness of the hops, and richness of the tea leaves.
- Grapefruit Juicius 4pk$22.00
IPA with Grapefruit Juice, Grapefruit Zest, and Vanilla Beans 7.0% ABV Our take on a milkshake IPA... (without the lactose)! Grapefruit Juicius combines the intense citrus and tropical hop aromatics of our hazy IPAs with grapefruit juice, fresh grapefruit zest, and Madagascar vanilla beans. The grapefruit brings juicy-sweetness while the vanilla adds creamy-richness. Tastes like a mall kiosk circa 1998!
- Heir to Ruins 4pk$18.00
Heir to Ruins ($18/4-pack) - 8.2% ABV Belgian Tripel We brewed our Tripel using Belgian Pilsner malt and hopped with English Goldings and German Saphir. We combined two monastic strains for restrained fruit (banana and orange) and spice (pepper and clove). One reason that Belgium has a tradition of stronger beers is that until 1984 bars and restaurants couldn't serve distilled spirits. Despite the strength, this beer is easy to drink thanks to a crisp finish and restrained bitterness.
- I'm Grander 4pk$19.00
Stout with Irish Cream Coffee Beans and Vanilla Softserve 6.0% We love the strong pastry stouts, but sometimes it's nice to have a fun beer that is a little more sessionable! This stout is inspired by Irish Coffee, with flavored coffee beans from Happy Mug for aroma and non-dairy soft-serve for creaminess and richness. This one is just a little bit more luxurious than I'm Grand!
- It Might Be Over Soon 4pk$19.00
Nitro Baltic Porter 8.4% ABV There is no way of telling how long anything will last. Stop reading the description of this beer and enjoy the time you get with the people you love. Call that friend from High School who you haven't talked to in 20 years. Give your dog a hug. Listen to the rain.
- Kentucky Jones 4pk$16.00
Kentucky Common We brewed this “Pre-Prohibition” take on an amber lager with American 6-row barley, corn, and a touch of chocolate wheat malt for color. Lightly bready with notes of honey, Corn Flakes, and a subtle balancing hop bitterness. It’s named after the Nazi-fighting archeologist from an adjacent state, who in the initial draft was going to be named “Kentucky Jones.” We assume he’d have worn a different hat…
- Machin Shin 4pk$16.00
Machin Shin - 5.0% ABV Schwarzbier Tomatoes aren't native to Italy. Chile peppers don't originally come from India. Maris Otter isn't a German barley... sometimes ingredients and techniques from unexpected places are required to create the flavor we are looking for! This dark lager has a wonderful bready flavor thanks to the blend of German and English base malts, along with the espresso-like char of German roasted barley. Lagered cold for a clean background that lets the grain shine!
- O'Postrophe 4pk$16.00
Irish Dry Stout 4.5% ABV Michael's Great-Grandmother immigrated to America from Ireland in the 1880s. We took inspiration for this Irish stout from the ingredients used in recipes from around that time: Pale Ale, Amber, and Black malts. These are more flavorful (and expensive) than the unmalted barley that comprises a large portion of most Irish stout recipes today. However, we kept the modern balance of restrained alcohol, invitingly dry-roasty finish, and creamy mouthfeel!
- Only The Hits 4pk$23.00
West Coast Triple IPA with Amarillo®, Citra® Simcoe®, and Mosaic® 10.4% This Triple IPA features the greatest hits of American hops, no filler, and nothing released in the last 10 years. Starting off with the Old School hit that put West Coast IPA on the map, Simcoe. Then right into the all-time classic #1 dance hit, Citra. Next up, the grunge phase staple, Mosaic. For the encore we're bringing back an old favorite that we haven't done in years, Amarillo!
- Paper Jubilee 2pk$14.00
Historic Pastry Stout with Raisins, Dried Cherries, Tamarind, Orange Zest, and Cinnamon 10.4 ABV This beer imagines what Pastry Stout might have tasted like if it was invented in 1840! The base stout was inspired by the beers of the time with Maris Otter, Amber, Brown, and Black malts, plus Becker's Invert Caramel Syrup. Then we added the flavors of Queen Victoria's wedding cake: raisins, sultanas, dried cherries, tamarind, orange zest, and cinnamon!
- Pilsner Kopírovat 4pk$17.00
Pilsner Kopírovat ($17/4-pack) - 5.5% ABV Czech Pilsner We did our best to copy what makes Czech Pilsners so special floor malted Czech Pilsner malt (ours was from Raven in Záhlinice), and expressive Saaz (we used the slightly fruitier "late Saaz"), along with a clean malt-accented lager yeast. We couldn't import 500 gallons of low-mineral water from Pilsen... but a reverse osmosis filter achieved the same result, softening the hop bitterness and rounding out the malt flavor.
- Radiant Zest 4pk$17.00
Radiant Zest ($17/4-pack) - 5.9% ABV Pale Ale with Fresh Lime Zest and Ginger We love combining citrus zest and hops! For this one we added the zest of 100 limes to enhance the saturated tropical aromatics from the hops (Hydra™ and Simcoe®)! Then we infused it with fresh ginger root to provide a beautiful warming spice, perfect for the cold months of the year!
- Slush Shoveler 4pk$16.00
Slush Shoveler ($16/4-pack) - 5.6% ABV British Winter Ale We love Hedge Trimmer (our British Summer Ale), but it won't warm you up after shoveling the front walk! We kept the blend of Golden Promise and Maris Otter pale ale malts, and then added English caramel malts. They layer on toffee, plum, and a slight chocolate note. This one is whirlpool-hopped exclusively with orange-tinged East Kent Goldings from England.
- Smuzi Berry Pie a la Mode 4pk$23.00
Smüzí Berry Pie à La Mode – Smoothie Sour Ale with Blueberry and Blackberry Puree, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Vanilla Softserve 6% ABV A Sapwood smoothie sour... what a time to be alive! We loaded this batch with blueberry and blackberry purees, and the spices that go along with it to make berry pie! Then we added vanilla soft serve mix to bring the rich creamy flavor of a scoop of ice cream on top! It's sweet with a thick texture from all of the fruit and the richness of the ice cream.
- Smuzi Breakfast Bowl 4pk$23.00
Smoothie Sour Ale with Hemp Seeds, Banana, Strawberry, and Cream of Coconut 6% A Sapwood smoothie sour... what a time to be alive! This iteration of our "smoothie" sour is modeled after a bowl of vanilla yogurt with coconut, strawberries, bananas, and toasted hemp seeds! The tangy base with vanilla beans stands in for the yogurt, along with coconut cream, and strawberry and banana purees!
- Smuzi Island Whip 4pk$23.00
Smoothie Sour with Passionfruit, Guava, Cream of Coconut, and Mango Dole Whip® A Sapwood smoothie sour… what a time to be alive! We loaded this batch with the tropical flavors of passionfruit and pink guava purees. Then we added extra richness with both cream of coconut and Mango Dole Whip! It’s sweet-and-sour with a thick texture from all of the fruit and the richness of the coconut and soft-serve. Each sip will transport you to an all-inclusive island resort! Roll the can before opening to ensure an even texture in the glass!
- Smuzi Pina Colada 4pk$23.00
Smoothie Sour Ale with Pineapple, Coconut, and Lime Zest (... and no lactose 5.5% ABV A Sapwood smoothie sour... what a time to be alive! We loaded this batch with pineapple puree, cream of coconut, flaked coconut, and fresh lime zest for a Piña Colada. It's sweet with a thick texture from all of the fruit and the richness of the coconut. Roll the can before opening to ensure an even texture in the glass!
- Spelty Boys 4pk$17.00
Spelt Pale Ale Hopped with Southern Cross and Vista 5.6% We swapped the wheat malt in our usual pale ale recipe for spelt. It's a high-protein cousin to wheat that adds body and a slightly rustic graininess. We leaned into that with Southern Cross, a New Zealand variety with apricot and spicy pine. Balanced by the tropical fruit and peach of American Vista.
- Star Spanglish Banner 4pk$15.00
Mexican-style Lager Pilsner was invented in what is today the Czech Republic. German brewers took their lager yeast and extra pale “Pilsner” malt to make their own version of the style. German brewers moved to Mexico where they brewed a version of the style with local ingredients (including corn). This is our version of the style, brewed with Virginia-grown and malted barley and corn from Murphy & Rude Malting Co. in Charlottesville! Crisp, clean, with just a hint of Corn Flakes cereal.
- The World Moved On 4pk$21.00
Hazy DIPA DDH with Nelson Sauvin™ and Simcoe® Cryo® 8.1% ABV This draught carries the very essence of Mid-World within its depths. The Nelson Sauvin brings to mind the orchards of Mejis. The Simcoe, it hath the aroma of the ancient pines that line the path of the Beam. The bitterness strikes true, like the bite of a lobstrosity. This Double IPA is a reminder of the world before it moved on to juicier hops, when brewers remembered the faces of their fathers.
- Three Bean Soup 2pk$14.00
Imperial Stout with Toasted Hazelnuts, Cacao Nibs, Vanilla Beans, and Coffee 12.0% ABV We brewed this extra-sticky Imperial Stout with three beans (coffee, vanilla, and cacao)... and it's liquid, so technically it's a three bean soup! The base is more caramel than roasty thanks to three extra-long boils (~60 hours in total). The result is as thick as pea soup, but with the flavors of a mocha hazelnut latte!
- Vegan Fish Sticks 4pk$19.00
Chill Haze IPA DDH with Anchovy and HBC 586 7.2% ABV We wanted to feature the new fruit-forward Anchovy hop variety in a new "Chill Haze" IPA i.e., a Hazy IPA fermented cold with Lager yeast! The clean fermentation stays out of the way, allowing the Anchovy from Segal Ranch (Washington State) to express its fruity (watermelon) and pine notes. We paired it with HBC 586 which brings tropical and stonefruit notes, balancing the greener leaning. The finish is somewhere between our standard Hazy IPAs and a Cold IPA, rounded and crisp at the same time!
Mixed Fermentation Bottles Online
- Barrel Green 500ml Bottle$5.00
German Pilsner Aged in Gin Barrels 6.2% ABV We filled two McClintock Distilling (Frederick, MD) Gardeners Gin barrels with Bottle Green Pilsner and lagered them in a corner of our cold room for four months. The botanicals from the gin barrels provide citrus and juniper notes to the crisp Pilsner beneath. Bottle conditioned for spritzy carbonation!
- Barrels of Rings 500ml Bottle$16.00
Barrel-Aged Funky Ale with Citra® Cryo® 7.1% ABV We refilled the barrels that held Measure Twice with our all-Citra pale ale Rings of Light! The microbes went to work transforming the hop compounds into unique pineapple, orange and funky aromatics. After 9 months of aging a lightly-tart, uniquely-fruity beer emerged. We gave it a dry hop dose of Citra Cryo right before packaging to ensure a unique aroma that blends the best of mixed-ferms and IPAs!
- Botanica 500ml Bottle$16.00
Pale Sour Aged in Gin Barrels with Dried Limes and Quinine 6.8% ABV This beer is a blend of two beers aged in gin barrels from McClintock Distilling (Frederick, MD). The older portion was a firmly acidic golden sour, while a younger beer that was more herbal and earthy. We added dried limes for a Sprite®-like finish and a quinine extract for a faint woodsy-earthiness and balancing bitterness. The flavors took inspiration from Gin & Tonic, but we weren’t trying to brew a bottled cocktail!
- Brett Trials 4pk$40.00
8.0% Dark Saisons (one bottle each: Clean, Imperial Suburban Brett, Wyeast Brett Lambicus, and a "House" culture) Each of the bottles in this set started as the same dark saison. We split it into kegs with different microflora and allowed them to diverge for year. Try them side-by-side to see how much the choice of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria alters the resulting beer!
- Elliptical Orbit 2023 500ml Bottle$16.00
Dark Sour Ale Aged in Wine Barrels with Cascara and Coffee 5.8% ABV In 2008 Mike and his friend Alex Howe began a tradition of homebrewing Dark Funky Saisons each fall. The recipe and results evolving and revolving over a decade. Elliptical Orbit 2023 leans into Alex's other favorite beverage, coffee! It was refermented with cascara (the fruit of the coffee tree) and then infused with a small amount of Geisha coffee that Alex roasted just for us! This is the fifth entry in a renewed tradition!
- Fruit of Many Uses 500ml Bottle$16.00
Pale Sour Ale Aged in Wine Barrel with Second-Use Chardonnay Grapes, Raspberries, Cherries, and Nectarines 5.0% ABV This beer went on a journey without leaving our brewery! It started out going onto the Chardonnay grapes originally from Field Learning. Then into two well used wine barrels. Next it went onto the cherries and raspberries originally from Jammiest Bit. Then a final infusion on the nectarines from Polite Company. SInce all of the fruit was "lightly used" it has subtle notes of vinous, berry, and stonefruit without any of them dominating!
- Growth Rings 2023 500ml Bottle$18.00
Three-Year-Blend of Barrel-Aged Pale Sour Ales 5.3% ABV Each year a tree creates a new layer of sapwood under its bark, a growth ring, recording the tree’s life. So too we add new oak barrels to our sour program each year, slowly expanding. This blend is a cross-section, with barrels selected from those we filled in 2020-2022. The younger barrels provide stone fruit and mineral vibrancy while the older ones bring oaky depth and earthiness.
- Guava Salzig 500ml Bottle$11.00
Guava Gose 5.2% ABV We love our base gose, Salzig (German for “salty”). It’s a traditional mixed-fermentation with Lactobacillus and Brettanomyces. Subtle, tart, and citrusy. This version with a massive 700 lbs of pink guava is anything but traditional or subtle. The fruit adds an intense tropical flavor and increased acidity.
- Homegrown Rule 500ml Bottle$16.00
Wild Ale with Lemon Verbena and Pineapple Sage 5.3% ABV Fruit brings aromatics, but also sugars, acids, and other compounds that alter a beer both in predictable and unpredictable ways. These two barrels already had a beautiful tart balance that we didn’t want to disrupt, so we infused them with homegrown herbs: Pineapple Sage (from Ken) and Lemon Verbena (from Mike). The result is a beautiful melding of lemondrop, hay, herbs, and oak.
- Honeymoon SZN 500ml Bottle$16.00
Barrel-Aged Rice Ale with Sauvignon Blanc Grape Powder, Elderflowers, and Muscadine Grapes 5.6% ABV We filled two wine barrels with Wedding SZN (the rice ale we brewed at Olde Mother Brewing). Inoculated with our house culture, they developed light acidity and enhanced fruitiness. To compliment the Phantasm Powder in the base, we then added 200 lbs of Muscadine grapes from South Carolina. The native grapes impart wild aromatics of tropical fruit, strawberries, and just a little diesel-y-funk!
- Jammiest Bits 500ml Bottle$17.00
Pale Sour Ale Aged in Wine Barrels with Cherries and Raspberries 5.2% ABV Cherries and raspberries are a perfect pair. The jamminess of the raspberries balances the brightness of the cherries. We were heavy-handed with the fruit on this one with 150 lbs of sour cherries from Baugher’s Orchard (Westminster, MD) and 150 lbs of red raspberries from Twin Springs Fruit Farm (Orrtanna, PA). We selected two pale sours aged in red wine barrels (Malbec and Pinot Noir) to mirror the flavors of the fruit. We get notes of raspberry jam, cherry pie, almonds, and lemons!
- Life is Ridiculous 500ml Bottle$16.00
Barrel-Aged Wild Ale with Barbera Grapes and Sour Cherries Bottle Release 2/2/23 - $16/500mL It's pretty absurd that we get to support ourselves by brewing sour beer! We got together with our friend Jennings to blend this combination of barrels of an older-funkier "Marylandbic" and a younger-hoppier wild ale. We infused them with Barbera red wine grapes from Crow Vineyards (Kennedyville, MD) and sour cherries from Baugher's Orchard (Westminster, MD). The finished beer is tart, jammy, with just a touch of new tennis ball from the house culture!
- Older Nails 500ml Bottle$16.00
Older Nails – Barrel-Aged Strong Sour 12.2% ABV In April 2020 we emptied two bourbon barrels of their resident Imperial Stouts and refilled them with a peculiar base beer inspired by English Stock Ale and Belgian Oud Bruin. The residual stout adds subtle roast to the aromas of fig from the malt, leather from the house culture, and vanilla from the oak. We suggest serving at 50-60°F from a snifter, to accentuate the balance of mild acidity, caramel sweetness, and red fruitiness.
- Polite Company 500ml Bottle$16.00
Wild Ale aged in Gin Barrels with Nectarines 6.4% ABV The combination of bright stone fruit and herbal gin-barrel-aging is one of our favorite combinations! We kept the acidity low on the base beer to ensure a bright drinkable balance of juniper notes from the barrel and the honey-floral notes from Jade white nectarines (Twin Springs Fruit Farm in Orrtanna, PA). It's a beer that will help you recall summertime evenings, no matter what the weather is outside!
- The Time is Always Now 500ml Bottle$14.00
Ashmead’s Kernel and Gold Rush CIder aged in Cabernet Franc Wine Barrels 6.9% ABV This cider was pressed from two classic cidermaking apple varieties Gold Rush and Ashmead’s Kernel, both grown in Virginia. Our friends at Old Westminster Winery (Westminster, MD) gave us a couple Cabernet Franc barrels to age it. In addition to soft vanilla tones, the barrel also provides a beautiful berry-note to the classic “apple-forward” cider balance.
- William Henry 500mL Bottle$11.00
Dry Harrison Apple Cider 6.9% ABV Harrison apples were a popular American variety used for making hard cider in the years around the Revolutionary War. The variety fell out of favor and was "lost" only to be rediscovered in the 1970s. This cider was pressed from 100% Harrison apples grown in Virginia, then fermented with our house culture. We get baked apple, lemon zest, and light tropical notes. Finally we naturally-conditioned it for high carbonation!
- Wrath of Grapes 500ml Bottle$18.00
Double-Barrel-Aged Dark Sour with Syrah Wine Grapes 8.7% ABV We wanted to create our most vinous beer yet! The fall of 2022 we blended barrels of sour red and sour black that had already aged for more than a year onto Syrah grape must. After referementing we returned the beer to fresh Syrah wine barrels for an additional five months of aging. It emerged oaky, with a snappy acidity, and a a beautiful balance between the dark fruit of the Syrah grapes and
