Click Here for Festival Menu ✪ Featured Breweries ✪ 2 Silos Gingerbread Ale Winter Ale / 7.2% ABV / 22 IBU / 216 CAL / Manassas, VA / This holiday season we’re bringing back our fan favorite Gingerbread Ale! Available in limited release, this spiced winter seasonal is crafted with ginger, cinnamon and clove. These nostalgic holiday spices, complimented with biscuit and caramel specialty malts, are perfect for any festive occasion. Athletic All Out Extra Dark Non-Alcoholic Beer - Porter / 0.5% ABV / 10 IBU / 90 CAL / Milford, CT / Inspired by days on the slopes and nights by the fire, All Out is a delightfully smooth and soul-warming stout. Each sip delivers a silky, full-bodied mouthfeel and pleasantly toasty finish, along with delicate notes of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Given the depth of flavor, it’s surprisingly light and refreshing, making it the perfect beer for any time of year. We like to pair it with warm, savory dishes in winter and light but sweet treats in warmer weather. Bell's Kalamazoo Stout Stout - American / 6% ABV / 221 CAL / Comstock, MI / Named after the city where it all began, Kalamazoo Stout is one of our most classic recipes. This smooth, full-bodied stout offers a blend of aromas and flavors of dark chocolate and freshly roasted coffee, balanced with a significant hop presence. Blue Mountain Whizkey Sour Ale Sour - Fruited / 5% ABV / 150 CAL / Afton, VA / Sour ale fermented with German hefeweizen yeast, aged in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels on sweet cherries and sour cherry puree. A unique twist on the classic cocktail! Brasserie Dupont Saison Dupont Farmhouse Ale - Saison / 6.5% ABV / 30 IBU / 195 CAL / Tourpes, Wallonie / Saison Dupont is a world classic beer and the yardstick for one of Belgium’s most important beer styles. It is the most admired AND imitated Saison in the world. A strong, vital yeast is key to full attenuation and thus to the style. Saison Dupont is straw colored with a dense creamy head. The nose is alive, like fresh raised bread, estery with citrus and spice notes. Full-bodied and malty, it sparkles on the palate and finishes with a zesty hop and citrus attack. Incredibly compatible with food! Brasserie d'Achouffe Houblon Chouffe IPA - Belgian / 9% ABV / 47 IBU / 270 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / The gnomes of Fairyland may be little, but they have big, very big, personalities. HOUBLON CHOUFFE matches their impish spirits. All gnomes, with their innate good taste, are in full agreement about HOUBLON CHOUFFE, which is flavoured by three different types of hops. This India Pale Ale is appreciated for its pronounced bitterness combined with the fruity tones of traditional Achouffe beers: it softens the strongest of characters. Brasserie d'Achouffe La Chouffe Blond Belgian Strong Golden Ale / 8% ABV / 20 IBU / 240 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / Among the mythical characters living in Fairyland, some are more unusual than others. Malcolm, for example, is different because of his accent and his kilt: when it comes to beer, his favourite is Mc CHOUFFE. The delicious flavours of aniseed, liquorice and toffee tickle his taste buds. If you listen to him, he will boast of its ruby sparkle, its smooth bitterness and its strong character, worthy of his native Scotland. Although robust, Mc CHOUFFE goes down as easily as LA CHOUFFE. Brasserie d'Achouffe Mc Chouffe Belgian Strong Dark Ale / 8% ABV / 20 IBU / 240 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / Among the mythical characters living in Fairyland, some are more unusual than others. Malcolm, for example, is different because of his accent and his kilt: when it comes to beer, his favourite is Mc CHOUFFE. The delicious flavours of aniseed, liquorice and toffee tickle his taste buds. If you listen to him, he will boast of its ruby sparkle, its smooth bitterness and its strong character, worthy of his native Scotland. Although robust, Mc CHOUFFE goes down as easily as LA CHOUFFE. Cölner Hofbräu Früh Früh Kölsch Kölsch / 4.8% ABV / 19 IBU / 144 CAL / Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen / From the recipe by Peter Josef Früh of the family brewery, this top-fermented specialty beer features the best ingredients and is brewed according to the German Purity Law. A favourite beer of Cologne, which became one of the city’s original. Downeast Cider House Maple Waffle Cider - Sweet / 5% ABV / 150 CAL / Boston, MA / Our newest taproom exclusive is Maple Waffle.

Its roasted flavour goes well with smoked meat and fish as well as venison and poultry. Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill. Brasserie d'Achouffe Houblon Chouffe IPA - Belgian / 9% ABV / 47 IBU / 270 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / The gnomes of Fairyland may be little, but they have big, very big, personalities. HOUBLON CHOUFFE matches their impish spirits. All gnomes, with their innate good taste, are in full agreement about HOUBLON CHOUFFE, which is flavoured by three different types of hops. This India Pale Ale is appreciated for its pronounced bitterness combined with the fruity tones of traditional Achouffe beers: it softens the strongest of characters. Brasserie d'Achouffe La Chouffe Blond Belgian Strong Golden Ale / 8% ABV / 20 IBU / 240 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / The gnomes of Fairyland are particularly fond of this golden beer. LA CHOUFFE, with its slight hoppy taste, combining notes of fresh coriander and fruity tones, is the drink which gives them their zest for life. At least, that's what these imps say when they are thirsty. Their secret used to be jealously guarded from one generation to the next until the day they shared the recipe with humans to seal their friendship. Of all the legends from the wonderful region of the Belgian Ardennes, the tale of LA CHOUFFE is the one which most merits re-telling. Brasserie d'Achouffe Mc Chouffe Belgian Strong Dark Ale / 8% ABV / 20 IBU / 240 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / Among the mythical characters living in Fairyland, some are more unusual than others. Malcolm, for example, is different because of his accent and his kilt: when it comes to beer, his favourite is Mc CHOUFFE. The delicious flavours of aniseed, liquorice and toffee tickle his taste buds. If you listen to him, he will boast of its ruby sparkle, its smooth bitterness and its strong character, worthy of his native Scotland. Although robust, Mc CHOUFFE goes down as easily as LA CHOUFFE. Brouwerij Rodenbach Rodenbach Grand Cru Sour - Flanders Red Ale / 6% ABV / 35 IBU / 180 CAL / Roeselare, Vlaanderen / This is an aged Belgian red ale, which is ‘ripened quietly in oak barrels for two years’, according to the label. It has an extremely pungent aroma of rich grapey fruit, with acidic notes, very much like a slightly sour red wine or possibly a gueuze. In the mouth it is slightly sweet, extremely acidic and fruity, with grapes and even cherries discernible, and very lively. Despite the sweetness it is not at all cloying, even thin, with little or no trace of malt. Finish is sharp and fruity. Crooked Run Fermentation Vaporware IPA - New England / 6% ABV / 180 CAL / Sterling, VA / Vaporware is luxuriously hopped with Cashmere and Ariana hops for a smooth, lemony flavor with light herbal notes. Delirium - Huyghe Delirium Nocturnum Belgian Strong Dark Ale / 8.5% ABV / 24 IBU / 255 CAL / Melle, Vlaanderen / Color and Sight: Dark Chocolate Brown with a compact foam, white-yellow, stable and creamy. Odor Touches of caramel, mocca and chocolate. Spices such as licorice and coriander are also present. Taste: Initially a very pleasant sensation in the mouth of alcohol and softness. It is followed by a growing bitterness, which comes partly from hops, but also from roasted malt and chocolate malt. Towards the end, pleasant balance between bitter, sour and sweet notes. Erdinger Weissbräu Erdinger Dunkel Wheat Beer - Dunkelweizen / 5.3% ABV / 14 IBU / 159 CAL / Erding, Bayern / Selected dark malts with a fine roasted aroma make ERDINGER Dunkel a full-bodied enjoyment with a strong character. It fills the glass elegantly and shines in deep brown tones. The first sip delights with a harmonious harmony of selected dark wheat and barley malts with first-class Hallertau aromatic hops. Caramel notes, hints of nuts and fresh bread can be tasted. The traditional ERDINGER yeast unmistakably sets its top-fermenting accent. ERDINGER Dunkel made its debut in 1989 when the ERDINGER master brewer Werner Brombach, owner of the private brewery, brewed a dark wheat beer for his birthday. The recipient liked it so much that he put it on the market in 1990. Honor Lady Liberty Wheat Beer - Other / 5.5% ABV / 10 IBU / 165 CAL / Arcola, VA / Belgian style American wheat beer that is brewed to be crisp, refreshing, and drinkable. Brewed with Pilsner and wheat malts, American yeast, and one pound per gallon of fresh tart and sweet cherry puree. Honor Sonic Boom IPA - Imperial / 8% ABV / 70 IBU / 240 CAL / Arcola, VA / Prepare to be blown away by this double IPA dry-hopped with insane amounts of dank and juicy Mosaic, Citra, and Azacca.
