TASTING FRIDAY MARCH 9th FEATURING COLLECTIVE ARTS BREWING AND OTHER NEW ARRIVALS! 4-7pm

3/9/2018

To celebrate 'Pint-Can-Palooza' this week (ten of the Allocation and New Arrival beers in our email this week are packaged that way), we had to mark the occasion with a pints-only tasting featuring several new beers and the arrival of Collective Arts Brewing from Ontario. Taking the connection between the craft beer and art worlds to a whole new level, a pint can is a great way to create a unique graphic look, and it doesn't hurt that the liquids inside are pretty outstanding as well (fairly priced to boot!). These are beers that pleasure the eyes and the palate. From Collective Arts we are pouring their 'Stranger Than Fiction' English Porter, 'Life In The Clouds' IPA, and the IPA Project #4. We will also be pouring our first offering from Green Man Brewery in Asheville, NC, their 'Trickster' IPA, as well as two new Evil Twin variants off their popular 'Imperial Biscotti Break' and 'Even More Jesus' stouts. Hope to see you here!

TASTING FRIDAY FEBRUARY 16 FEATURING A SWARM OF NEW ARRIVALS! 4-7pm

2/16/2018

As seen from the emails the last two weeks, there are more than a few new names looking to make space on our shelves early in 2018, with even more in the coming weeks from what we have been hearing. It's hard to keep track of which ones are worthwhile and which are forgettable until you've had a chance to taste them for yourself. So let's do just that, taste some new stuff and see where we think they stack up. We have a whole slew of core releases from Funky Buddah (Floridian Hefeweiss), Bold Mariner (Bold Virginian Pale Ale), Coelacanth (Passionfruit Gose and Kopi-Manis Latte Stout), and D9 (Hakuna Matata Tropical IPA and Brown Sugar, Brown Cow Mocha Brown Ale) to choose from, Is your next favorite among them? Hope to see you here!

1/26/2018

Though we knew they were coming, StudioBrew didn't quite land in time for us to get them ready for tasting last week, so we had to get them their own feature slot today. We will be pouring from StudioBrew their Das Pilsner, 'Mosaic Sunset' Imperial IPA w/Agave, 'The Ferguson' Oatmeal Chocolate Milk Stout, and 'Dancing Monk' Belgian Ale, as well a the Basic City 'Opera' Galaxy & Mosaic DIPA and the Smartmouth 'Arriba Grande' Mexican Spiced Coffee Stout.

CIDER TASTING TODAY FEATURING POTTERS CRAFT CIDER 4-7pm

11/17/2017

Our final tasting to celebrate Cider Week VA is local favorite Potters Craft. Over the last few years the potters crew have built a reputation for creativity in their recipes, drawing a lot of inspiration from the craft beer world, yet still maintaining a strong connection to traditional cidermaking values. The ciders being tasted today showcase all those qualities. We will be opening the Ryesap (Basque influenced, aged in whiskey barrels), Double Simcoe (made with Simcoe hops), Cider Nouveau (aged with Merlot and Petit Verdot skins from King Family Vineyards), and Pelure de Pomme (fermented on the skins along with extended maceration post fermentation). Come on by and enjoy the great diversity cider can provide!

CIDER TASTING TODAY FEATURING THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY 4-7pm

11/16/2017

Today's tasting celebrating Cider Week VA shows off the two producers we stock from over in the Shenandoah Valley. From fruit along the many bends of the Shenandoah River (tasting room in Bluemont) we have the 'Rocket' Off-Dry and Windrush Oak and Chestnut Stave Aged ciders from Wild Hare, and from the Showalter Orchard in Timberville we have the Heritage and fruit-added Virginia Strawberry ciders from Old Hill. Hope to see you here!

CIDER TASTING TODAY FEATURING BLUE TOAD/COBBLER MOUNTAIN 4-7pm

11/15/2017

Today's store tasting celebrating Cider Week VA features a selection from the 'sweetened' side of the cider scene. Not necessarily sweeter tasting (though some are for sure) but made by adding water and sugar back in, along with other flavors often going in as well. These ciders tend to be less expensive and more consistent to make, which makes them extremely popular with the pub and festival crowd, while still showing some local character. On deck for tasting will be the Blue Toad Granny Smith and Harvest Fest ciders, and from Cobbler Mountain the Original Honey and Wild Blackberry Hop ciders. Come on by and give them a try!

CIDER TASTING TODAY FEATURING CASTLE HILL CIDER 4-7pm

11/14/2017

Our second day celebrating Cider Week VA, today we feature local favorite Castle Hill Cider, located out Rt 231 towards lovely Gordonsville. Up for tasting will be the Terrestrial (Dry; not pictured, arriving soon from our friends at Central Virginia Distributing) Serendipity (Off-dry), and Big Pippin (infused with ginger and slightly fortified). Come on by and give them a try!

TASTING FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 15th FEATURING GRAFT CIDERS 4-7pm

9/15/2017

Our first shot of cider from Graft Ciders in New York came a few weeks back, and we just received our second shot with some more diverse styles. Like our local friends at Potter's Craft Cider, Graft bridges the gap between dry traditional European ciders and the American craft beer worlds with creativity and by embracing the funkier side of cider making. Available for tasting will be their core production 'Farm Flor' (unflavored and naturally funky), along with the latest release from their Hop Series ( 'Hop Tropic', uses Victoria Secret and Ella hops with grapefruit and lemon zest) and their Gose Series ('Desert Diamonds'; spiced with tamarind, ginger, turmeric and sea salt). Each of these series rotates through 6 different brews, and we anticipate seeing many of the other releases arrive here in the future, along with ciders in their Book of Nomad and Cloud City series.
