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. Fruit Farm

   P.O.G. Sour (passion fruit + orange + guava) – 6% ABV
   Why settle for one fruit when you can have three! Orange, Guava, and Passion Fruit combine to form the perfect medley for this sour. This beer is a tribute to the many small farmers around the valley who appreciate variety. Not to mention it is a great source of refreshment after a long day under the sun! Fruit Farm also happens to be the name of a road in the area where berries are grown! This beer is tart and crisp with a delicious fruit-forward flavor!
   8oz - $4.00
   16oz - $6.75

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

5. Blue Ridge Moon

   Belgian White Ale - 5.9% ABV
   As refreshing as a much needed Blue Ridge Mountain breeze venting through the moon hole of an Appalachian outhouse on a summer day! This crisp and light, easy-drinking, Belgian ale is a delicious year-around beer! It has that classic Belgian yeast flavor that is loved by wheat beer or hefeweizen drinkers.
   8oz - $3.50
   16oz - $5.75

6. Mercky Water

   DIPA (Double IPA) – 8.0% ABV
   Our flagship DIPA, which has been rebrewed repeatedly since we tapped it in for the first time when we opened in February, 2020. Just the right balance of hops and restrained bitterness offers a tribute to the Shenandoah River’s murky history (especially the restrained bitterness part). We are all about using clean, natural spring water and only putting the best ingredients in that water for our beers. Not everyone has the same standards. Which brings us to the “Mercky” beers. Did we spell “mercky” properly? Oh well… Careful what you put in the water!
   8oz - $3.75
   16 oz - $6.50

7. Hidden Chimneys

   Smoked Helles Lager - 6.5% ABV
   Have you ever gone up into Shenandoah National Park and noticed random chimneys out in the middle of the woods? True locals know and retell the story behind those chimneys, but the government would probably rather we forget. This smooth beer was brewed with a light and balanced dose of beechwood smoked malt to give it a subtle smoke aroma and finish on the flavor profile to serve as a subtle reminder of this story. Many families were chased out of their mountain homes, which the feds burned to the ground (along with churches and schoolhouses) to prevent the people from coming back. After the smoke cleared and the ash settled, all that remained were the stone chimneys. That smoke may have blown away long ago, but if you get close enough to those chimneys, you might still smell the lingering smoke of tyranny. As you sip this uniquely refreshing beer, take in the smoke and take in this story and raise a glass to the resilience of the local folks!
   8oz - $3.50
   16oz - $5.75

8. 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 - $4.00
   16oz - $6.75

9. Sheridan’s Spark

   New England IPA - 6.3% ABV
   It only takes a spark to start a fire! Sometimes that spark is merely an idea. When General Grant schemed with Sheridan about how get a cheap shot in, that spark caught fire and Sheridan came into the valley with 50,000 Union soldiers while the confederate soldiers were off to war. The Union army, led by Sheridan, set fire to all the barns and killed the livestock so that the Confederate troops would have nothing to come home to. Many of the valley families were forced leave the valley because it would have been impossible to survive after losing all their means. Just as “Sheridan’s Raid” (Double NEIPA), this IPA is brewed with 100% citra hops, dry-hopped to perfection, giving it a crisp and mellow flavor profile, with a pleasantly approachable IBU. Perfectly executed, just like Grant and Sheridan’s dirty plot.
   8oz - $3.65
   16oz - $6.15

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

This is our oldest beer recipe - developed by our head brewer August, part of the Elkton Brewing founding family, many years before we started up here!
