A refreshing new take on a timeless classic, featuring only the highest quality German malts and meticulous layers of Hop Character added from 5 separate hops used to brew this beer. Mango, Citrus, and Peach dominate the aromatics. Upon first sip grapefruit, melon, subtle pine, and a light malty toast dance on the palette in harmony. Finishing surprisingly smooth with clean hop character.

Sour – Smoothie / 5% ABV / 150 CAL / Herndon, VA /
Apricot Banana Strawberry smoothie sour. Made with real fruit. Mega Fresh is a series showcasing real fruit smoothie like sour creations. Contains lactose.
Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro
Stout – Milk / 6% ABV / 25 IBU / 180 CAL / Longmont, CO /
POUR HARD! Dark & delicious, America’s milk stout will change your perception about what a stout can be. Pouring hard out of the bottle, Milk Stout Nitro cascades beautifully, building a tight, thick head like hard whipped cream. The aroma is of brown sugar and vanilla cream, with hints of roasted coffee. The pillowy head coats your upper lip and its creaminess entices your palate. Initial roasty, mocha flavors rise up, with slight hop & roast bitterness in the finish. The rest is pure bless of milk chocolate fullness. Famous for their Nitro series, Left Hand Brewing was the first craft brewery to release a bottled nitrogenated beer. For the best experience, pour hard at 180 degrees into a 16oz glass. Different gas, different pour. Cheers! #PourHard
Left Hand Pumpkin Spice Latte Nitro
Pumpkin / 7% ABV / 210 CAL / Longmont, CO /
Pumpkin ale with spices and coffee
O’Connor El Guapo Agave IPA
IPA – American / 7.5% ABV / 70 IBU / 225 CAL / Norfolk, VA /
El Guapo — which, translated, means “the handsome one” — looks sexy, smells beautiful, and tastes great! It is a medium-bodied, agave-infused India Pale Ale, with a grassy, citrus nose and notes of sweet caramel, that finishes with a smooth but strong bitterness.
Old Ox Black Ox
Porter – Other / 6% ABV / 20 IBU / 180 CAL / Ashburn, VA /
A robust rye porter with hints of coffee and chocolate nicely balanced with a subtle hop influence. A substantial, malty ale, complex and flavorful with a medium body and a slightly roasty finish. The rich dark color is deceptively refreshing. The spice in the rye clears the palate. A sip will explain why we say this is a delightful combination of sweet and spicy!
Old Ox Hog Life Amber Lager
Lager – American Amber / 6% ABV / 180 CAL / Ashburn, VA /
Old Ox Keg Nog
Spiced / 8% ABV / 240 CAL / Ashburn, VA /
We’ve brewed up one Dickens of an ale. Wheat, oats, and lactose contribute to a silky mouthfeel while nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon add just the right amount of spice. Images of Fezziwig will dance in your head!
Tröegs Independent Oktoberfest Lager
Märzen / 6.1% ABV / 183 CAL / Hershey, PA /
Tröegs Oktoberfest is here! Our take on this timeless German style starts with a traditional brewing technique called decoction, creating a bright, dry maltiness. A kettle addition of Hallertau Tradition hops adds subtle floral and herbal undercurrents to this toasty sweet Fest Lager. Eins, zwei, g’suffa!
