Click Here for Festival Menu ✪ Featured Breweries ✪ Aslin Totally Cannon Sour - Smoothie / 5% ABV / 150 CAL / Alexandria, VA / Our collaboration with Hidden Springs Ale Works! Totally Cannon is a Sour Ale with raspberry, hazelnut, chocolate, & milk sugar. The tart from the raspberry is balanced out nicely from the chocolate & hazelnut with a nice creamy mouthfeel from the milk sugar. Basic City Beer Lost Jewel of Orion IPA - New England / 6% ABV / 180 CAL / Waynesboro, VA / Approachable Hazy IPA brewed with Citra, Nelson, and Rakau Brehon Brewhouse Killanny Red Red Ale - Irish / 4.5% ABV / 35 IBU / 135 CAL / Inniskeen, County Monaghan / A 'grand' Irish Ale with russet red hues and a slightly malty, nutty flavour. Cigar City Brewing® Florida ManTM IPA - Imperial / 9% ABV / 50 IBU / 270 CAL / Tampa, FL / The world needs heroes, and in our home state of Florida only a very special hero will do. A hero with a shark tooth around his neck, a Grim Reaper tattoo on his arm, and a rap sheet longer than his mama’s mustache. A hero who’s forgotten more about amateur taxidermy and alligator rasslin’ than you’ll ever know. What better way to pay tribute to our beloved Florida Man than with a big ol’ Double India Pale Ale brewed with a nearly-criminal amount of hops and a moderate bitterness that just about matches Florida Man’s general disposition. This hopped-up whopper of a beer is big in character and guaranteed to sear itself into your memory, just like “the world’s worst superhero,” Florida Man. Cigar City Brewing® Maduro Brown Ale Brown Ale - English / 5.5% ABV / 25 IBU / 200 CAL / Tampa, FL / Maduro is a Northern English-style brown ale with some American affectations. Maduro is higher in alcohol than the common English brown ale and features flaked oats in the malt bill which imparts a silky body and works to mesh the roasted, toasted and chocolate components together in Maduro’s complex malt profile. The end result is a remarkably full-flavored yet approachable and sessionable brown ale that pairs well with mild to medium cigars. Crooked Run Fermentation Scorpion IPA - American / 7% ABV / 60 IBU / 210 CAL / Sterling, VA / West Coast Style IPA with Centennial, Colombus, & Amarillo Hops. Dank and piney hop character with a sharp clean finish. 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 Lost Rhino My Imaginary Girlfriend (MIG IPA) IPA - American / 7.5% ABV / 73 IBU / 225 CAL / Ashburn, VA / Star Date 2012.156 Brewer’s Log - We intercepted the following alien transmission: My Imaginary Girlfriend is brewed with all the HOPS and fermented in your Mom’s basement. Hop additions were determined by the skill of a 4th Level Mage and the flick of his 8-sided polyhedral die. Best enjoyed before or after your favorite role-playing game. 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
