The next fuzzy iteration in our gose lineup, this kettle sour got over 450 lbs of blueberries and peaches squeezed into it! This is the most fruit that we’ve ever added to a beer (more than 2 lbs per gallon) and we are delighted with the way the peaches and blueberries play together. The peaches contribute a soft mouthfeel and juicy flavor while the blueberries add a wonderful tartness and a refreshing, tannic quality from the skins. This one is not to miss if you love goses with fruit.

We have taken the idea of a veggie beer to another level with Quick Pickle. It is named after the culinary technique of rapidly pickling veggies in a sour/salty/sweet solution. This is very similar to what is happening in our fermenter. It has amazing color from the addition of North Carolina carrots and a cool, fresh aroma provided by Virginia Beach cucumbers from Cullipher Farms. The tartness of this beer is complimented beautifully by the a subtle sweetness from the carrots and a gentle salinity from some sea salt. This beer also have some subtle guava notes from the a small late addition of El Dorado hops.

This rich robust porter has a creamy head and follows with waves of chocolate and coffee and freshly toasted coconut that is complemented by the notes of sweet caramel and dark fruits. We are using fresh roasted coffee beans from our friends at Lynnhaven Coffee Company, freshly toasted coconut, and fresh roasted cacao nibs from Videri Chocolate Factory down in North Carolina. We also added oats for a silky mouthfeel and dialed up the cacoa nibs a little for a decadent experience. All of this is complemented by an ever so slight smokiness from some Cherrywood smoked malt hand crafted by Copper Fox Distillery here in Virginia.
