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.

Made with a blend of roasted, chocolate, black, and Munich malts, then aged on real Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans.

The aroma is very balanced with a fruity, flowery background and an initial Chardonnay impression which evolves into a spicy, mild aroma of hops. Taste: Full-bodied and balanced with fruity tones of apple and Chardonnay grapes. Deliria has a fine, mild bitterness in its aftertaste and a splendid, round feel in the mouth which evolves well. Special beer brewed once a year to mark International Women's Day.

Click Here for Festival Menu BEER Ardent Craft Ales Dark Rye Stout - Imperial / 9.8% ABV / 45 |BU / 294 CAL / Richmond, VA / Dark Rye is an American imperial stout brewed with rye and chocolate malts. Notes of dark chocolate and a roasty malt base balance an earthy, spicy character from the rye addition in this big, full-bodied stout. Armed Forces Preamble Lager - American / 4.2% ABV / 126 CAL / Norfolk, VA / Basic City Beer Lost Jewel of Orion IPA - New England / 6% ABV / 180 CAL / Waynesboro, VA / 00 Approachable Hazy IPA brewed with Citra, Nelson, and Rakau BrewDog 5AM Saint Red Ale - American Amber / 5% ABV / 35 IBU / 150 CAL / Ellon, Aberdeenshire / Buy the ticket, take the ride. 5AM Red Ale is 5 malts, 5 hops and 5% abv. But that's where the order ends. Jump in and you'll find berry bouncing off marmalade clashing with caramel cosying up to chocolate buzzing off spice sizzling with toast laced with lychee and colliding with biscuit. As malty as it is hoppy. As anarchic as it is structured. Bitterness and sweetness, all neatly messed up in a triumph of pure chaos. Perfect, baffling symmetry. Go fathom 5AM. Malts: Maris Otter, Caramalt, Munich Malt, Crystal and Dark Crystal Malts Hops: Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo Dry Hops: Simcoe, Cascade, Centennial, Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin BrewDog Jack Hammer IPA - American / 7.2% ABV / 250 IBU / 216 CAL / Elon, Aberdeenshire Press the button, go ahead. What are you waiting for? Your mama's not coming this time. Don't slow down. Hammer it. Start with huge grapefruit aroma. Pile on more bitterness than the human palate (or nipple) can detect, ride the anarchy and caramel craziness and let the devastatingly bitter finish drill straight through your taste buds. Put a bullet in the head of mediocrity, raise hell and revel in bitter craft awesomeness. This beer is the end of the line. The hopped-up, puckered mouthed extreme of craft brewing. This beer is bitter. Very bitter. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Malt: Extra Pale Hops: Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, Columbus, Simcoe BrewDog USA Choco Cherry Stout -American / 7% ABV / 210 CAL / Canal Winchester, OH Chocolate Cherry Stout BrewDog USA Sorry I'm Latte Stout -Coffee / 7% ABV / 210 CAL / Canal Winchester, OH Vanilla Espresso Stout Brothers Craft Dukes IPA IPA -American / 6% ABV / 180 CAL / Harrisonburg, VA Calvert Black Eyed Susan Lager -Dark / 6% ABV / 180 CAL / Upper Marlboro, MD This T'Mave is a soft, yet full bodied Czech Black Lager with hints of coffee and dark, roasted malts. Calvert El Coquito Stout -American / 8.7% ABV / 261 CAL / Upper Marlboro, MD El Coquito is a 8.7% blonde stout that pours golden and has a full body to resemble the Puerto Rican holiday drink. From the aroma and the initial taste, El Coquito is bursting with coconut and pairs well with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. The milk sugar helps with the body to leave just the right amount of residual sugar and a mouthfeel of the creamy coconut drink. Captain Lawrence Peach Cobbler Brown Ale - Other / 8.56 ABV / 255 CAL / Elmsford, NY Imperial Brown Ale brewed with peach and graham cracker. Cigar City Brewing® Florida Man™ IPA - Imperial / 8.5% ABV / 50 |BU / 255 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 /
