Breweries Collaborating with The Nature Conservancy
-
ALLEGHENY HIGHLANDS FARMHOUSE ALE - 5.8% ABV
Sassafras leaves foraged from the Appalachian forests of Warm Springs Mountain Preserve lend fruity, earthy, notes of citrus and ginger to this farmhouse ale.
-
Wetlands - brewed with spicebush/bayberry
-
CLINCH VALLEY AMBER LAGER - 5.3% ABV
Appalachian red spruce tips carefully cut from trees high up on Clinch Mountain accent this hoppy lager with aromas of piney hop character, light florality, citrus oils, and a musk of conifer camphor.
-
PINEY GROVE - IPA 6.0% ABV
Longleaf pine needles gathered from Piney Grove Preserve enhance the hoppy nuances of this India pale ale with grapefruity notes.
-
BARRIER ISLAND GOSE- 5.5% ABV
Eelgrass collected from underwater meadows brings complex coastal flavors to this gose inspired by Virginia’s wild barrier islands. The herbaceous eelgrass adds notes of brine and citrus to the crisp German style sour ale, with just a hint of sweetness underneath.
Other Participating Guest Breweries
-
Starbright: Riwaka - 5.1% ABV - House, mixed-culture saison brewed with Murphy and Rude pilsner and white wheat and dry-hopped with Riwaka hops to drive a tropical, white wine driven profile.
-
-
Beach Blanket Bunco 5% ABV - Mexican-style lager brewed with Virginia heritage corn and barley from Murphy & Rude Malting Co. Hopped with Zumo.

-
Croccante - 4.4% ABV - Meaning "crispy" in Italian, and boasting a 100% Murphy & Rude grain bill, this Italian Pilsner is crisp, light, and refreshing with a hop flavor reminiscent of a dry white grape curtesy of Halertau Blanc hops
-
Full Cry Virginia Lager -4% ABV - a light, refreshing American Lager inspired by the grain that early colonists worked with. With the need to import 2-row grain, many brewers in the colonies turned to locally grown corn and 6-row barley to produce pale beer for regular consumption. Our take on this historical style uses American grown barley to compliment Virginian Grown Murphy and Rude Buena Vista Corn. We hop this beer exclusively with Greenmont Mother, a Native Land Race variety from Greenmont Hopworks in Esmont, VA, which imparts noble hop character with the terroir of Virginia. The clean, crisp fermentation is achieved using Lager yeast propagated in Northern Virginia by Jasper Yeast.
