2nd Annual SOMEWHERENESS

“Somewhereness” is used to describe “the state or quality of being in and belonging to a specific place”. We chose this as the name for our December festival as we are showcasing creations from Virginia's Fields and Forests. All beer, cider and wine featured at this festival are produced with a majority of their ingredients grown in Virginia.

  • Wine descriptions to come...

  • Harrison, 8.5% ABV - A single varietal cider, Harrison is known worldwide as a fantastic cider apple. Russet and fruity, this cider boasts ample tannins with a zippy finish.

  • 1581 Orchard Blend 2022, 6.9% ABV - From their 2022 harvest comes this sublime, natural cider. A blend of roughly 24 varieties of cider apples, organically and sustainably grown at their orchard in Maidens, Virginia. They follow minimal intervention, natural cider making methods.  This orchard blend is no different–it is the product of a natural/ambient yeast fermentation, no sulfites or any other additions added, no filtering or fining done, aged in neutral oak barrels for roughly 6 months, and bottle conditioned.  Earthy, mature fruit notes, and tannic–perfect with wild game and turkey.

  • Schwarzbier using local malts

  • Persica, 6.0% ABV - Golden sour w/peaches. Made with 100% Virginia malt, fermented in barrels and then conditioned on VA grown peaches.

  • Feisty Bull Marzen, 5.8% ABV - Their classic amber lager is available year round and is the finest and most complex expression of their farm grown barley. The delicate malt driven aroma introduces a smooth, balanced flavor profile with notes of toast and caramel. A clean, dry finish invites another sample...

  • Local Fabric - Rye, 5.3% ABV - A single-decocted Virginia Landbier (rye lager), brewed with all Virginia ingredients. All malts are from Murphy & Rude. Hopped with Greenmont Mother & Crystal from Greenmont Hopworks and fermented it with yeast from Jasper Yeast.
