A nice one finger cocoa and creamy brown coffee head, with nice retention and staying power slowly falls and inches it’s way down to hinting a collar. A nice dark walnut brown body compliments and is opaque. Looks like chocolate in a glass.

After the Battle of Bladensburg the British Army burned Washington to the ground….we ain’t bitter! We’ve realized the best revenge is living well. Enjoy our British-style session bitter’s smooth maltiness and finely balanced hops.

A pale, well-balanced beer combining crisp lager character with fruity ale notes. The clean grain bill provides a refreshing drinkability and supports late aroma and dry hop additions of Czech Saaz hops. Pair with locally harvested oysters or roast pork medallions. This is no common beer!

Big bright and juicy hop notes are the highlight in this smooth drinking beer. Generously dry hopped with Citra hops to provide a big citric nose that leads the way for this tasty double IPA.
