CROSS STITCH British-style Golden Ale | ABV: 4.9%
Collab with Patch Brewing in Gordonsville
An all-too-quaffable British-style Golden Ale. Brewed with floor-malted Maris Otter and malted wheat and fermented with a classic cask ale yeast strain, ‘Cross Stitch’ pours a pale gold color with fluffy snow white foam. Cross Stitch was hopped with a blend of Challenger, Fuggles, and First Gold throughout the boil, resulting in snappy bitterness and subtle, classic British hop flavors.
VESTED INTEREST Franconian-style Pale Kellerbier | ABV: 5.1% IBU: 35
For this one, we used a blend of Weyermann Specialty Malts Barke Pilsner and Vienna malts & chose to utilize a single decoction mash regimen for a pale, but characterful malt profile. ‘Vested Interest’ was hopped with German-grown Perle and Hersbrucker for classic “noble” hoppiness and restrained citrus notes. Finally, we chose a German lager strain we find particularly great at making kellerbier & spunded the tank near the end of fermentation for 100% natural carbonation. Vested Interest pours a deep gold color with subtle, rustic haze & tenacious white foam. We’re getting notes of chamomile, orange blossoms, honey-dipped graham crackers, fresh bread, and relaxing afternoons spent under a few chestnut trees in a bierkeller.
HAUTE TROPIC Thiolized Hazy IPA | ABV: 6.6% IBU: Low
'Haute Tropic', our thiolized Hazy IPA takes us back to warm beaches and summertime hammock naps. Designed specifically to showcase biotransformation-derived thiols (so hot right now!), this beer jumps with notes of guava, pineapple, southern hemisphere wines, passion fruit, and a hint of marijuana. “Haute Tropic” was brewed with a blend of Murphy & Rude Malting VA Pils, Pale 2 row and some unmalted wheat for a pale color, subtle breadiness, and fluffy mouthfeel. Restrained bitterness and plenty of “softness” let the tropical flavors shine. Finally, a heavy handed dry hop of Idaho 7 Cryo reinforces each sip with its own bright tangerine character.
PUFFY COAT Cold IPA | ABV: 7.0% IBU: 70
How cold is this Cold IPA? Scary cold. We brewed ‘Puffy Coat’ with Pilsner malt & Buena Vista yellow corn from our friends at Murphy & Rude Malting for a clean and refreshingly crisp base, then hopped it throughout the boil, whirlpool and dry hop with irresponsible amounts of Galaxy, Citra & Mosaic Cryo. Fermented with a classic German lager yeast at warmer-than-traditional temperatures, the resulting beer is “like having a circus in your mouth”. Like the aurora borealis, Puffy Coat is a miracle of nature that exists for a brief period, so hurry in soon for a pint. We’re getting notes of ripe mango, sticky orange kush, orange peel, passion fruit and Makinaw peaches.
BREAK OUT YOUR WELLIES English-style Dark Mild | ABV: 3.7% IBU: 17
Inspired by both the classics hailing from across the pond and some of the stellar examples brewed here in the States, this one is ready to be your new favorite lunch or post-work beer. Like many of our British-inspired beers, we brewed ‘Wellies’ with a base of Floor-malted Maris Otter and a collection of Murphy & Rude Malting specialty malts. Judicious boil additions of East Kent Goldings, a sessionable 3.7% abv, and the use of a classic ale strain from London bring quintessential British moreishness that practically begs for cask conditioning. We’re getting notes of rustic bread crust, toasted pecans, subtle chicory, tobacco blossom, and dew-sodden forest loam.
THREADENATOR Smoked Doppelbock | ABV: 7.3% IBU: 26
Ah winter; the season of shorter days, frosty mornings, frozen trails, fireplaces and woodstoves. During these colder months, we often find ourselves dreaming of bigger, more robust beers. Enter ‘Threadenator’ smoked doppelbock. At a hefty 7.3% abv, we feel this big lager is perfect for hanging by the fire pit or warming up after a chilly hike. Double decocted and made with Weyermann Specialty Malts beechwood smoked malt and some custom-made cherrywood smoked malt from our friends at Murphy & Rude Malting, this doppelbock exudes luxurious maltiness and pronounced maillard flavors. The blend of smoked malts brings pronounced but approachable levels of smoke that seemingly dance out of the glass each time you go to take a sip. ‘Threadenator’ was hopped with Perle and Hallertau Mittelfruh for subtle noble hop character & fermented with the same Franconian lager strain you’ve heard our head brewer gush over. We’re getting notes of bonfire, cherry pit, booze-soaked medjool dates, crème brûlée, woodfired sourdough and crisp morning walks around Bamberg.
FLANNEL American Stout w. Lactose | ABV: 7.5% IBU: 36
Dark beer fans rejoice! Flannel, our American stout with lactose, returns to the Selvedge taps! We brew this one with Crisp Maltings floor-malted Maris Otter, a litany of specialty malts from Murphy & Rude Malting, and a hefty dose of milk sugar. Built for enjoying during these colder months, Flannel drinks with layered caramel & roasty notes, silky body, and a hefty 7.5% abv. We’ll be playing around with serving this through one of our LUKR faucets, so swing in soon for a pint of “chocolate” milk tube. We’re getting notes of chocolate ganache, mocha latte, and biscoff cookies.
