CURRENTLY ON TAP

As a small batch brewery, our taps rotate regularly. We do our best to keep this menu up to date, but occasionally we have beers rotate off/on before we’re able to update here.

1. Field Day

   Strawberry Cotton Candy SOUR – 6% ABV
   This sweet and tart sour will hit your glands in all the right places. Like a mouthful of cotton candy on a hot day at Elkton’s annual Field Day!
   8oz - $3.75
   16oz - $6.50

2. Blonde Bear

   Blonde Ale  – 5.2% ABV
   We’ve got plenty of black bears, the West has plenty of brown bears, but one rarely sees the elusive blonde bear dancing about in our blue mountains. This Blonde is smooth and easy to drink, and tends to be a great fit for someone who wants the closest thing to a light, domestic style ale. This flagship recipe is a tribute to our local friend, known as the “Blonde Bear” (also known as the “Dancing Bear”). He is who originally taught August, our head brewer, how to brew many years ago - ultimately leading to the quality craftsmanship we have in our brew cellar today! Cheers to the Blonde Bear!
   8oz - $3.25
   16oz - $5.50

3. Odell’s Tiger

   Blood Orange Blonde Ale – 5.2% ABV
   We don’t need to get into his complex local notoriety, but Odell had tigers. This exotic beer will be short lived, much like Odell’s tigers. It is a refreshing tribute to the beautiful beasts that lived in captivity here in Elkton some years ago. Toast to those tigers, whose fate is unknown! This delicious, crushable, flagship recipe is a crowd pleaser! It is refreshing and bursting with orange flavor! Catch Odell’s Tiger by the tail, we guarantee you it will be an exciting experience!

   8oz - $3.65
   16oz - $6.15

4. Uncommon Elk

   California Common – 5.5% ABV
   A beer style that is about as common around here as native Virginia Elk. Few things that are common in Cali’ are common in Elkton. Features notes of toasted caramel, graham crackers, and sweet maltiness, with a beautiful deep amber color.
   8oz - $3.50
   16oz - $5.75

5. Captain Conrad

   ESB (Extra Special Bitter - English Ale) - 6.5% ABV
   Fun Fact: Elkton used to be called “Conrad’s Store.” Captain Conrad, as an officer with our local militia, fought the Brits in the American Revolution. In 1812, the year we fought the Brits again, his son carried on his father’s legacy of freedom by erecting the store that would become Elkton – despite efforts by our pals across the pond to retain their tyrannical control. This ESB is a tribute to Captain Conrad and his legacy that shaped Elkton’s founding. It is smooth and malt-forward, with a touch of English bitterness thrown in.
   8oz - $3.50
   16oz - $5.75

6. Mercky Water

   Double IPA – 8.0% ABV
   Just the right balance of hops and restrained bitterness offers a tribute to the Shenandoah River’s murky history (especially the restrained bitterness part). Careful what you put in the water!
   8oz - $3.75
   16 oz - $6.50

7. Front Line Fuel

   IPA - 6.5% ABV
   This traditional IPA recipe’s origins reach way back to the beers England would brew to send on the long journey to the troops in India long ago. We took this traditional recipe and dry-hopped it, which mellows out the hops bitterness and boosts the hops flavor. In local history, the Shenandoah Valley was known as the “Breadbasket of the Confederacy.” It was the biggest source of fuel for the troops on the front lines. This is why it was such a significant target for the Union. Everyone is on the front lines somewhere, and this approachable IPA is fuel for everyone! It is very crushable, yet has a robust hops flavor with a touch of bitterness on the back end.
   8oz - $3.65
   16oz - $6.15

8. Dubbel Trubbel

   Belgian Dubbel - 8.2% ABV
   Locals are familiar with the saying, “two F’s and two T’s means double fun and double trouble!” This delicious Belgian Dubbel is bursting with smooth and dark malt flavor. It goes down easy for an 8.2 percent beer. That’s the fun part. But if you aren’t careful with it, then the trouble comes. Here’s to all those locals who are branded by double fun and Dubbel Trubbel (and who fill more local phonebook pages than any other name)!
   8oz - $4.25
   12oz - $6.25

9. Sombeech

   Rauchbier (beechwood smoked malt) - 6% ABV
   This SomBeech is a smoky SomBeech! We used some beechwood-smoked barley to give this SomBeech a deliciously smooth smoke flavor. Grab yourself a SomBeech and get your combined smoke and beer fix! This beer is a tribute to our local dialects, which efficiently blend multiple words into single words. Aint nobody got time for all them words!

   8oz - $3.50
   16oz - $5.75

10. Red Brush

    Red Ale - 5% ABV
    This beer is the only beer we’ve been able to brew with 100% Virginia grown malt! Combine that with our local Bear Lithia Springs water, with a low ABV, and you have a pretty hard to beat session beer! Crisp and malt-forward, with hints of smoky roasted malt, and a beautiful dark red/amber color. Red Brush starts at Bear Lithia Springs, and winds its way all the way to our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Cruising down that road gives you a proper taste of Virginia’s beauty. Drink up Red Brush, and taste Virginia!
    8oz - $3.50
    16oz - $5.75

11. BBA Bell-Door Barley

    Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine - 14.5% ABV
    We brewed our rich and delicious barleywine, “Bell-Door Barley,” and aged it in a Ragged Branch double-oaked, wheated, bourbon barrel for 8 months to bring you this special Fall treat! We couldn’t be happier with how this batch came out. The flavor is smooth, rich, and dynamic, with all kinds of booze and remnant deliciousness from the barrel’s history. We all know about the robust liquids that flow out of the hollers. This beer is a tribute to those that come through the “Bell Door!”
    5oz - $4.75
    8oz - $7.50

12. Greene N’ Orange

    Irish Coffee Stout - 6.6% ABV
    Not only are they nearby neighboring counties, but they are colors that represent the flag of many locals’ heritage. Whether you come from catholic-green or protestant-orange, we can learn a thing or two from the Irish: If you drink enough together, then you’ll have an easier time setting aside differences and finding peace in the middle. Here’s to the Irish, where peace is found between green and orange! Brewed with Chestnut Ridge Brazilian decaf coffee beans that we soaked in Irish whiskey, plus a touch of Irish cream for a rich, smooth, well-rounded flavor!
    8oz - $3.75
    16oz - $6.50

13. Old Spotswood

    English Old Ale - 8% ABV
    Some might fault him for being loyal to England, but times were different back then. And we’d like to think that he was always an American at heart (at least a Virginian!). This beer is a tribute to the olden days and to the heart of exploration which led Old Al to the valley! Loosely influenced by one of George Washington’s old beer recipes, with molasses for some unique sweetness and rich malty flavor.
    8oz - $4.25
    12oz - $6.25

14. ShenanDark

    Irish NITRO Stout – 4.7% ABV

    This stout spawned from our popular flagship oatmeal porter, “ShenandOats,” which is our oldest recipe - developed by brother August nearly two decades ago. For this beer, we traded the oats for extra roasted malt to give it a darker, deeper, roastier flavor profile. Then we hooked it up to our nitro tap to round it off with that smooth nitro texture, which is perfectly befitting of this beer. Here’s to Shenandoah Valley home-brews! You never know where they will end up - whether down the drain or becoming a menu item at a future craft brewery, keep on brewing!
    8oz - $3.25
    16oz - $5.50
