Belgian and German Style Ales
Conviction - 7.3% - Belgian Style Blonde Ale *2020 VBC Bronze Medal Winner
The Conviction. Our mainstay. Brewed 11 years ago because Matt couldn't find the right flavor blonde ale to quench his thirst. Clean, spicy, crisp, and absolutely easy to drink, this beer is brewed with a traditional yeast from the Ardennes region of Belgium and fermented with sugar, Belgian malt, and Saaz (aka Matt's favorite hop).
Rosefest - 5.8% - German Munich Lager
Ah, the Festbier. Everyone's Oktober treat, available off season because Matt loves it so much. A traditional Munich style lager, with plenty of malt and a clean finish, always worth filling a stein with.
Kelsenator - 8.2% - German Doppelbock Lager *2020 VBC Silver Medal Winner
Kelsenator, named for the brewer's (16 year old) miniature poodle Kelsey, is just like her. Aged, Sweet, but with a bite. A favorite of Matt's (ask him, we can't get him to stop talking about it) the Doppelbock is a style that has a dark, malty, slightly fruit and caramel body, with a crisp clean finish. Perfect for the fall weather.
All Together Now - 4.5% - Berliner Weisse
Because we all might be a little different, but at the heart of it we're all the same. A traditional tart / sour ale from the Berlin region of Germany, All Together Now is our Pride Month brew. Traditionally served with a pump of a fruit syrup, to let you choose how you enjoy it. Until the end of July, $1 from every pint sold will go to Casa Ruby in DC, an LGBTQ Shelter.
Outta My Gourd - 6.0% - Flemish Style Pumpkin Sour Ale
A Flemish Red is a style of beer that is always tart up front, with a complexity behind it. Well, Matt wanted to brew a Flemish Red Ale. But, as per the norm, he can't do anything quite right, so he decided to add pumpkin and spice to an otherwise delicious (and traditional) Flemish Red. Taste it, and you'll think you're Outta Your Gourd for liking it so much.
Farmhand - 5.5% - Saison *2022 VBC Silver Medal Winner*
The origins of the Saison come from the Wallonia region of Belgium, when seasonal workers, aka Saisonniers, would get some of their payment in the form of a farmhouse fermented ale. This became known, appropriately, as a Saison, and is one of Matt's favorite styles of beer. This version is exactly what you expect - aromatic, slightly spicy, slightly fruity, with a clean finish that helps you relax after a hard day.
Hop-Forward Ales
029 Jump Street - 6.7% - American IPA
A delicious East Coast style IPA, blending a strong malt backbone with fruity hops to give a balanced flavor, with notes of Grapefruit, Orange, and Kiwi.
My Maine Squeeze - 4.7% - Hazy Session IPA
A beer brewed with our very first Brewer for a Day crew, this session IPA is easy to drink, with Centennial and Amarillo hops, and Cara-Cara Orange and Grapefruit added during fermentation. Hazy, fruity, refreshing, and with a clean finish, a sure delight as it gets warmer.
Gluten Free Products
Stubborn - 4.5% - Hard Lemonade
Matt swore he would never brew anything but beer. "I only like beer, why brew something else?" Then he was reminded that in college, he in fact did like something else - Hard Lemonade. And here it is - Gluten Free, Hard Lemonade. Semi-dry, with a wonderful aroma of lemons and limes. Served as is or with a splash of fruit syrup.
