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

3. East Rock

   East Coast IPA – 6% ABV
   Fresh from Rochingham county’s east coast (also known as “East Rock”), we bring you this delicious, crisp, hazy, bright and hoppy IPA. Brewed exclusively with barley malt and a medley of hops (magnum, centennial, cascade, and citra), this hybrid IPA meets somewhere in between a classic west coast and a hazy New England. The IBU range is in the middle as well - sitting around 60. It is a great IPA for all IPA drinkers!
   8oz - $3.65
   16oz - $6.15

4. Pickle Tuley

   Dill Pickle Gose - 5% ABV
   We finally pulled the trigger on a pickle beer, just like Gos Tuley pulled the trigger in 1855 - killing the last known native Virginia Elk. Except our decision was a good one. This sour beer style is a perfect tribute to the sour memory of the extinction of the majestic creatures for which our town was named. Pickling has traditionally been done as a way of preserving food from perishing. Let this beer preserve the memory of the Virginia Elk, that the memory wouldn’t perish as the species did. This beer is crisp, subtly tart, and delightfully balanced with pickle juice in a way that surprises many drinkers. Try it for yourself, and drink to the memory!
   8oz - $3.65
   16oz - $6.15

5. Miller Kite

   International Lager - 5.6% ABV
   A ‘LITE,’ smooth, crushable, low IBU lager! This is a great option for people who enjoy big-name domestic beers. No particular brand comes to mind, but MILLER LLL-er-KITE is a delicious alternative! Brewed with German Pilsner Malt, which offers tribute to Adam Miller (formerly “Mueller”), who is recognized as the first European permanent settler in the Shenandoah Valley (1727), who settled right here in what would someday be called ‘Elkton.’ His family name is deeply rooted in our town. In fact, the Miller-Kite House, the namesake for this beer, is a historic museum here in town (named after his family).
   8oz - $3.25
   16oz - $5.50

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. Morgan’s March

   Colonial Brown Ale - 5.5% ABV
   Brewed with historic Bear Lithia Spring water (as with all of our beers) and British hops, this malty tribute honors Daniel Morgan’s epic 600-mile trek from the Shenandoah Valley to Boston in 1775. Toasty, rich, and bold as a Rifleman’s spirit, it celebrates 250 years since the American War for Independence began. When word of Lexington and Concord reached Virginia, Morgan rallied his Virginia Riflemen—96 sharpshooters, including frontier men from Augusta County’s rugged backcountry, which is now part of Rockingham near Elkton. Armed with long rifles and grit, they marched to defy an empire. Poured fresh at Elkton Brewing Co. At a pleasant 21 IBU, this smooth and malt-forward brown ale is delicious and approachable to any seasoned craft beer drinker!
   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. Spruce Blazer

   Frontier Golden Ale (w/ Spruce Tips) - 6.1% ABV
   This classic, frontier-style, golden ale with spruce tips is smooth, sweet, and uniquely delicious! Way back in 1716, Spotswood’s Knights of the Golden Horseshoe blazed a trail through the brush and spruce trees over Swift Run Gap, becoming the first non-natives to step foot in the Shenandoah Valley. They set up camp right here along the banks of the Shenandoah River, calling the place “Camp Spotswood,” which would be named “Elkton” many years later - after people began settling here in this new frontier. What better way to commemorate the details of this history than to brew a FRONTIER style, SPRUCE tip, GOLDEN ale?!
   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

11. McNutt

    Imperial Brown Ale - 10.8% ABV
    Our original brown ale was known as “The Nutt,” which locals and tourists alike know is the nickname for Massanutten. This imperialized version of a classic brown ale packs double the punch and a much more dense and rich flavor profile. This appropriately imperial recipe is a reminder of the overarching and overreaching rule of the Brits until the American colonists said "enough!” One such local colonist was Alexander McNutt, who, like so many others from our area, served under General Daniel Morgan (see “Morgan’s March” beer description) and fought at his famous tactical victory at the Battle of Cowpens. No, this is not a fast food chain version of “The Nutt.” Quite the contrary. This is a strong and rich traditional ale, like the spirit of those who came before us to lay a foundation for our present homes.
    8oz - $4.00
    12oz - $6.50

12. Harrison Fort

    English Oatmeal Stout - 8% ABV
    Anyone who hasn’t heard of Harrison Fort must live under a rock! Speaking of living under a rock (sort of), Fort Harrison is a historic STONE home in Rockingham County built in 1748. The home was built by Captain Daniel Harrison, who originally settled here on Naked Creek before purchasing the land on which he would build the home. During the French and Indian War he offered the sturdy stone home as a safe haven for the vulnerable locals during Indian raids. Daniel’s son, Benjamin, who inherited the house, served as an officer among a detachment of 400 local militia under General Daniel Morgan (see “Morgan’s March” beer description) to suppress a British loyalist uprising (known as Claypool’s Rebellion) during the American Revolution. Benjamin later led troops against Lord Cornwallis until the surrender at Yorktown. This English oatmeal stout is smooth and robust, like the many militia who persevered with undying determination. And the subtle sweetness and rich and bitter dark chocolate notes represent the well-deserved spoils of war. The Brits traditionally have some delicious beers, and we’re delighted to enjoy them and let bygones be bygones!
    8oz - $3.75
    16oz - $6.50

13. bRYEnt Barley

    Rye Barleywine - 11% ABV
    Only the strongest drinks come from the hollers that surround town. This one is a rich amber, thanks to the primary rye malt, with a strong caramel flavor and a smooth finish. Be careful though. This one will sneak up on you! As is consistent with the style, this batch has been cellared for 6 months to proper maturity. The flavor is smooth and dynamic, much like a good wine that has been cellared to maturity. But be careful, as it packs a punch, much like the good stuff that comes out of the hollers. Also like what you might experience if you go too deep into the holler without permission.
    8oz - $5.50
    12oz - $7.25

14. Captain Conrad

    NITRO ESB - 6% 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 - $3.25
    16oz - $5.50

NEW!!
“Wahdooleesee” - MEAD (honey wine) - 15% ABV

“Wahdooleesee” is Cherokee for “honey,” which is obviously a fitting name for this tasty beverage. Harvesting honey was very common among the tribes that used to roam this area until the European honey bees took over (which native locals referred to as “white man’s flies”). Here’s to the folks that called this beautiful place home long before we showed up! Drink some Wah-doo-lee-see in remembrance!
