Farmhouse Pumpkin is soft in mouthfeel with balanced, rustic fall flavors. Air Gourd'n Pumpkin- 6.3% ABV- From the incredible local brewery Solace comes their fall seasonal special; a spiced pumpkin porter for heading into the spooky season! A traditional roasty porter base with loads of pumpkin up front with a nice, light spicing in the aftertaste.

I Just Crush A lot- 5.5% ABV- This tart ale with plum and blackberry transforms during the drinking. From the initial burst of sour, through the rich, fruity middle, and into the bready malt finish, it sends the drinker on a dream vacation for the taste buds. The complexity tantalizes the palate with each sip. It’s so crushable that you’ll crave it. Crooked Run Pyramid Scheme- 6% ABV- Pyramid Scheme is a 100% Mosaic hopped hazy IPA. Your typical multi-level Mosaic hop flavor, citrus, bubblegum, passion fruit. The opportunity you've been waiting for. Aslin Infrared Starfish - 5.7% ABV- Infrared Starfish features a new hop to the industry called Nectaron (sister to Waimea out of New Zealand). Big notes of juicy pineapple, peach, nectarines, lime, and tropical passionfruit in this beer! VelociRabbit - 5.5% ABV- The ancient ancestor of the modern day Kangaroo, a VelociRabbit was notorious for herding large amounts of Beach Chickens to their demise. This lower ABV IPA is the little brother of Laser Raptors. Using the same amounts of Mosaic, Simcoe and Chinook as Laser Raptors, this beer has a powerful berry aroma and nice pine note. The oats and wheat maintain the creamy mouthfeel that Laser Raptors is known for lending the lower ABV the ability to make a crispy break just as the hops surprise your palate. Brothers Craft Brewing Proud And True - Dukes Lager - 4.9% ABV- A wonderfully executed craft light lager, Proud and True Dukes Lager is clean and refreshing with malty smooth flavor. Just a touch of hops gives balance to this sessionable beer, creating notes of slight sweetness with a crisp finish. An officially licensed product of JMU!

The aroma leads with sweet lemon-lime notes as well as fresh apricot and underlying shortbread cookies. The flavor is much less sweet but still carries some of those aromas, displaying lemon peel, lime zest, and grapefruit. This IPA has a full juicy body thanks to Murphy & Rude rolled oats but its mild sweetness is quickly balanced by an assertive bitter finish. Hardywood Fightin' Hokies - 5% ABV- Clean and crisp, with pleasant aromatics of fresh bread, a subtle underlying floral note from noble hops, and a touch of malt sweetness in the finish, this golden Munich-style helles lager is cold-conditioned for weeks, resulting in an exceptionally refreshing beer.

Cuvee De Trolls- 7% ABV- Apale yellow in colour. Its rich and complex palette offers aromas ranging from fresh white and yellow fruits with impressions of citrus (tangerine) to touches of honey.

Bready aromas and dark candi sugar aromas greet the nose. Aggressive carbonation in the glass. Dark malt flavors deliver sweetness and notes of plum, fig and other dark fruit. Radenberger Radenberger Pilsner- 4.8% ABV- A full-bodied, complex taste with a little more hops than most Pilsners gives Radeberger its distinctive, memorable flavour. Baked bread and honey, with a hint of toasted biscuit and freshly milled grain make for nice malt complexity. DAB- 5% ABV- A pale, bottom-fermented blond lager. It is a harmoniously balanced, crisp and easy-to-drink beer with pleasing notes of hops and malt. A very well-rounded taste profile with a soft and elegant texture. Progusta- 6.8% ABV- With Progusta, the types of hops used come to the fore, and harmonize perfectly with the bitter note. The hoppy aroma can be attributed to the American Citra and German Hallertauer Mittelfrüh varieties, which complement each other beautifully. The sweetness remaining after fermentation forms a nice interplay with the bitter note. Schoff- 2.5% ABV- The world’s first Hefeweizen grapefruit beer. It’s a 50/50 blend of Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen beer and natural carbonated grapefruit flavor for a zesty and fizzy taste experience.

I Just Crush A lot- 5.5% ABV- This tart ale with plum and blackberry transforms during the drinking. From the initial burst of sour, through the rich, fruity middle, and into the bready malt finish, it sends the drinker on a dream vacation for the taste buds. The complexity tantalizes the palate with each sip. It’s so crushable that you’ll crave it. Drunk Fruit Lychee- 4.5% ABV- A light and refreshing seltzer that captures the floral aromas of lychee and brings out the natural sweetness of the tropical fruit. Melon- 4.5% ABV- Honeydew melon is ubiquitous in the world of Asian sweets. Takes inspiration from perhaps the most iconic of them all: the Melona bar, a velvety ice cream pop. Yuzu- 4.5% ABV- A light and refreshing hard seltzer. Yuzu is a citrus fruit found in Japan and is similar to a lemon and lime fused together. Aslin
