YEAR-ROUND
Superb IPA
American IPA
6.3% Alc by Vol
Superb IPA is not the first IPA we brewed, and it will not be the last, but it's one we wanted to enjoy all the time. Amarillo & Simcoe hops furnish an impression of Mango and Passion Fruit while a touch of Wheat and Oats provide a light, yet full mouth-feel.
Weekend Lager
Munich-Style Helles Lager
4.8% Alc by Vol
Weekend Lager is what we enjoy when we want to kick back. We took ten years to brew our first Lager and hope it was worth the wait. Made in the Munich Helles style and unfiltered like all our beer, it's a little spicy but wholly smooth.
Tavern Brown Ale
American Brown Ale
5.7% Alc by Vol
We've brewed Tavern Brown Ale since we started in 2006 and like us, it's come a long way. Six malt varieties meld with an English yeast strain and floral American hops to produce an approachable yet still complex American Brown ale.
Chesapeake Pale Ale
American Pale Ale
5.6% Alc by Vol
Chesapeake Pale Ale features a bright, floral aroma and flavor thanks to Cascade, Chinook, Amarillo and Centennial hops, used with a heavy hand in both the brewing and dry-hop process.
Protocol Porter
Robust Porter
5.6% Alc by Vol
Protocol Porter is boldly American, and big in all the right places. We brew this beer for, and with, rough hands and hearty appetites. Look for notes of roasted coffee and toasted cocoa.
SEASONAL
Coffeehouse
Coffee Stout - Available Nov thru Jan

Pumpkin is made solely with fresh ingredients, spiced and baked in the oven before added to the brew. Enjoy powerful notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and more from the beer commonly described as "Pumpkin Pie in a glass."
SPECIALTY

CELLAR SELECT
Café Royale
Imperial Coffee Milk Stout
8.4% Alc by Vol
Brewed with locally roasted coffee and aged in VA & KY Bourbon barrels anywhere from three to twelve months. Each barrel is tasted individually to determine the vintage's unique blend; the sought profile is a palatable booziness softened by a dense, creamy sweetness with loud notes of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla.
Black Forest
Imperial Chocolate Stout
9.5% Alc by Vol
Inspired by the famous dessert, this beer recipe developed from barrels of unusual history. The imperial chocolate stout is aged in oak touched by Bourbon and brandy; Montmorency sour cherries are added to the barrels, and the result is a genuine dessert course in a glass. Hints of bourbon complement a creamy sweetness, as well as distinct notes of cherry, chocolate, and vanilla.
