🔬 We take science pretty seriously here at Benchtop Brewing Company, and if you pay attention to our names and recipes, you'll be able to see that Eric's background as a food scientist is a major driver behind our mission.

🔬 We opened our tasting room + research facility in 2015 in Norfolk (Chelsea Neighborhood) and since then, our goal is is to serve as creative and innovative producers in the craft beer industry.

The Richmond tasting room started serving this amazing community in April 2022 and we can't wait to continue sharing our brews & tasty hot dogs with this city.

⚠️⚠️ FRESH BEER ALERT! ⚠️⚠️

☀️Thursday, 3 pm - NFK Tasting Room☀️
☀️Friday, 12 pm - Online Store ☀️
☀️Tuesday, 3 pm - @benchtopbrewing_rva Tasting Room ☀️

☀️ ＣＲＩＳＰＹＷＨＩＰ was inspired by a European adventure. We decided to make a pilsner that took what we loved most about the pilsners we had in Germany combined with characteristics we enjoyed in Czech pilsners. This helped us create a soft malt character with balanced bitterness found in Czech pilsners and a crisp dry finish with firm bitterness in German pilsners. For the malt bill, we blended floor-malted Bohemian Pilsner with German Barke Pilsner malt for a nice soft malt character. We added German Halletau Mittelfruh hops in the kettle for a gentle grassy hop note and a crisp bitterness.

☀️ 4.8% ABV
☀️ $14.50 per 4/pack

👀 Have you checked out our Richmond tasting room (@benchtopbrewing_rva)? We're serving the tastiest beers PLUS we've got a kitchen too! 𝗦𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 has a hand-crafted menu featuring vegan & 100% gourmet beef hot dogs.
.
.
.
⁉️Know how our kitchen earned its name? Back before brewing was his full-time gig, Eric used to focus on research & product development as a Food Scientist. His boss used to joke that his team got paid to sit around and have silly thoughts. This inspired the theme and recipes for our in-house kitchen. We're stoked to share innovative hot dogs with the Richmond beer drinking community.
