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. (Menu updated 9/18/2026)
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 - $6.75Blonde 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 - $5.50East 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 - $6.15Watch Tower Hill
Pumpkin Pie Amber Cream Ale - 5.6% ABV
The base recipe for this beer, “Hobbie Robbie,” was the perfect foundation for this creatively crafter cream ale variant. With the subtle addition of amber malts to the corm mash base, the flavor profile pops with a well-rounded pumpkin pie drinking experience. The previous year’s version of this beer, “Lawn Party Hill,” was without the amber malt. This year we darkened the beer a bit to offer tribute to the same hill, where Elkton townspeople used to work rotating night shifts in a tower that was built on this hill to keep watch for Axis bombers during World War II.
8oz - $4.00
16oz - $6.75Hoof Dunker
Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout - 8% ABV
Anyone who has worked on a small farm knows the woes of early morning milking. Often, the farmer will wake before the sun rises, set the pale under the udders and get to pulling, only to have ol’ Bessie stomp in the bucket! We’d like to think she was just trying to make a special chocolate milk of sorts for her beloved milk master. This rich and heavy imperial milk stout is bursting with peanut butter flavor and dark chocolate undertones, with a robust roasted malt backbone that would make ol’ Bessie proud! But, like the cool morning whip to the face from her tail, this stout will knock you over if you aren’t careful!
8oz - $3.75
16oz - $6.50Mercky 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 - $6.50Helles or High Water
Helles Lager - 4.7% ABV
Appropriately tapped in during a hurricane, Helles Or High Water is ready for you to dive in (to drinking the beer, not hurricane flood water)! Elkton, being a river town, has seen its fair share of floods. Many locals especially recall the flooding of 1996, where the rising waters broke the banks of the Shenandoah and put much of the town under water. Come Helles or high water, you’ll have a friendlier liquid companion in here than out in the storm. This delicious and crushable German Lager has a solid malt backbone with a subtle hint of sweetness that is well balanced with hops!
8oz - $3.50
16oz - $5.75Odell’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 - $6.75McNutt
Imperial Brown Ale - 11% ABV
“
8oz - $4.00
12oz - $6.50Red 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 - $5.75Bock On Course (Elktoberfest!)
Eisbock - 12.6% ABV
The Eisbock style was the strong German result of a cold accident at a big Bavarian brewery in the 1800’s. On its way to becoming a traditional Bock, it froze overnight and became an Eisbock - stronger with a more densely packed malt flavor profile due to the water freezing out of it. Likewise, in the early 1700’s a group of 100 German immigrants traveling across the ocean to Pennsylvania got off course in a storm and accidentally ended up in Virginia, where they were sold into indentured servitude to our own Alexander Spotswood. They meant to be Pennsylvanians, but as fortune would have it they became something far better: Virginians! (For more information about this story, see the description for another one of our German beers: “Wort 100”)
8oz - $5.50
12oz - $7.25Lagerfeuer (Elktoberfest!)
Rauchbier (German Smoked Malt Beer) - 6.5% ABV
German for “Campfire,” which is especially appropriate for this beer considering most people who taste it say, “wow! It tastes like a campfire!” The combination of cherry wood AND beech wood smoked barley bring out a rich smoky flavor that subsides to give birth to a smooth malty finish. Much like a campfire in our Blue Ridge Mountains often leads to rich stories and fond memories!
8oz - $3.50
16oz - $5.75Weizen Bär (Elktoberfest!)
Bavarian Wheat Beer - 4.7% ABV
You’ve had our Blonde Bear. You’ve had our Blue Bear. And now you can have our Weizen Bär, or “Wheat Bear.” Just picture the Blonde Bear in a lederhosen! Deliciously crushable, nutty, wheaty/bready, with notes of banana. If you enjoy a good hefeweizen, then you’ll love this one. It is like a lighter hefe! Crisp and refreshing!
8oz - $3.25
16oz - $5.50Captain Conrad
NITRO Oatmeal Stout - 6.2% 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 - $5.75Settlement (Elktoberfest!) - Lukr Tap!
Bohemian Lager (Lukr / Side-Pull Tap) - 5.2% ABV
The first permanent settlement of the Shenandoah Valley was right here in Elkton! Of course, it wasn’t called Elkton back then. Adam Müller (who later changed to the more American “Miller”) settled next to the same spring we use today to brew all our beers. He was born in Germany around 1700, and immigrated to America. He originally settled around Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but heard that Virginia was better (well, duh!) so he went down to give it a look-see. He met some members of the Spotswood expedition in Williamsburg who told him of the beautiful valley hiding over the Blue Ridge Mountains, so he went to see for himself, and sure enough he fell in love with what he found. How could he not?! He followed Spotswood’s original route and found a permanent home right here, in what would someday become home to many.

“Wahdooleesee” - MEAD (honey wine) - 15% ABV
“Wahdooleesee” is Cherokee for “honey,” which is obviously a fitting name for this tasty beverage.

Here’s to the folks that called this beautiful place home long before we showed up! Drink some Wah-doo-lee-see in remembrance!
