Come out this Friday as we introduce Mixolydian Rag Rye Bock, our first foray into bottom fermented lager brewing. Inspired by the soaring guitar solos of Jerry Garcia, Mixolydian Rag is light and refreshing, yet complex and engaging with a combination of earthy sweetness, balanced by herbal hop notes. Rye malt provides a toasty spiciness while just a touch of smoke meanders through the flavor and aroma. German Magnum, Opal, Smaragd and Perle hops lend just the right amount of bitterness and herbal complexity. The lager yeast is a culture from the legendary Andechs Abbey in Bavaria.

Be one of the first to try it right here in our very own laboratory. Happy Empanada Food Truck will be onsite serving up tasty Latin Fusion fare.

Hardywood Bourbon DIPA Release

Hardywood Bourbon DIPA is hopped with a heavy dose of Columbus, Cascade and Summit hops, fermented with an abbey ale yeast that imparts some subtle tropical fruit and peppery notes and conditioned twelve weeks in freshly emptied Virginia bourbon barrels from the A. Smith Bowman Distillery, where earthy, vanilla, toffee and bourbon notes lend an exquisite mellowness to Bourbon DIPA.

The tasting room opens at 4pm with Hardywood Bourbon DIPA on draft, in 750mL bottles, Barrel Series four-packs, and local gourmet food vendors. Starting at 5pm Scorpio Brothers Marty Key and Troy Hurt spin garage, soul and funk at all evening, with Olio Cart VCU, Estes Bar.B.’Que, Cielito Lindo, and King Of Pops – Richmond.
