Virginia IPA (VAIPA)India Pale Ale | 6.5% ABV | 55.0 IBUOur signature, hop-forward East Coast IPA is made by Virginians, for Virginians. VaIPA (or Virginia IPA) is brewed with 100% locally sourced Virginia pride and attitude to create a hoppy yet smooth finishing delight. The rock-solid pale and crystal malt bill and aggressive hop schedule of citrus and floral hops are in perfect harmony and deliver a clean, well-balanced, malty sweet and citrusy flavor. We also add late additions and dry hops to craft a prominent floral hop aroma that finishes the beer perfectly. VaIPA embodies the surging Virginia craft beer industry and is a beer we can all be proud to say is “made in Virginia.” Sic semper zythum! |

VanguardIrish Red Ale | 5.5% ABV | 21.0 IBUWhen the Irish sought independence from England, they set out to create a free state where they could throw off the yoke of tyranny and live their lives the way they saw fit.

This beer was initially a collaboration between Brew Republic Bierwerks of Woodbridge and Jay’s Brewing of Manassas, in honor of American Craft Beer Week 2017, but it’s been so popular, we generally have it available year-round.
