Blue and Grey

This is one of our specialty beers. It is a medium-full bodied saison farmhouse style Belgian ale that pours a hazy gold. The aroma is fruity, with some banana and strawberry notes, backed by spicy phenols, mostly white pepper. The flavor is true to its Belgian ale yeast and slightly fruity, like the aroma.

In Falmouth, Virginia, the fall line of the Rappahannock River, 18th Century Fredericksburg brewers used generous amounts of American grain and a modest amount of American hops. We do to. This results in a nice, clean aroma. The flavor is malty upfront, followed by big, crisp citrusy hops. A nice toasty malt backbone stands up well to the hops. This is born and brewed a American Pale Ale (APA).

Franklin’s Crossing India Pale Ale is brewed for the hop head. We use a generous amount of malted barley to support an abundant amount of hops. After fermentation we dry hop every batch. We put 10-lbs of whole leaf Cascade hops in the fermenter and soak the hops for two weeks. The result is a beer that finishes neat and clean.

Fred Red is the best beer you’ve ever tried. This brew will arouse your senses with its refreshing aroma and pure malt-inspired body.

A hybrid English Brown and American brown ale. A firm malty base with high alpha bittering hops. Slight butterscotch undertones with a dry finish.

Temporary Insanity becomes Minor Dementia. We age our russian style imperial stout in an oak bourbon barrel. The result is a beer that pours thick and pitch black, while the edges exhibit ruby highlights. The flavor is rich and dark, with a nice molasses character balanced out by a woody dryness. Very smooth considering the alcohol level.

Oktoberfest is brewed several months in advance using Munich and Vienna malts and imported noble hops. Months of cold conditioning result in an exceptionally smooth amber beer that is medium bodied and well balanced. Oktoberfest is a great session beer to be enjoyed all day.

Seasonal spices (cardamom, allspice, and cinnamon) are brewed into a rich malty amber base to create a nice, festive beer for the fall and winter.

We use roasted and flaked barley malt to produce a dry stout that pours pitch black and opaque with an aroma that is subtle, sweet, and pleasantly malty with strong coffee notes, and hints of dark chocolate. The rich flavor is a nice balance of sweet, roasty and bitterness. The body is medium-light and Stonewall Stout stands firm with full flavor. So good you’ll say, “I’d give my right arm for a Stonewall Stout!”

A full bodied Russian style imperial stout that pours pitch black. Flavor and aroma is rich and earthy with dark malts, dark fruits with hints of chocolate.

Sic Semper Fermentue Terribilis means Death to Bad Beer Always. We make our summer seasonal with 100% German Wienstephan yeast.

A full flavored wheat beer, more than 40% malted wheat and a hint of dark cherry. This classic is American born and brewed. Washington’s Cherry Wheat is the ultimate in summer refreshment. No lie.
