In 1828, the University of Virginia created their own fire company made up of students, professors, and community members. Their sole fire engine was called the Hydraulion, a pump wagon with the waterpower of 16 men. The UVA Fire Company left their mark for almost 100 years before giving way to the town of Charlottesville’s Fire Department. Our Hydraulion Red is a nod to not only UVA’s firefighters, but the brave men and women everywhere who risk their lives every day, while saving ours.
This Irish-Style Red is a perfectly balanced beer with a great caramel sweetness alongside a tangy, citrusy hop profile.

12oz can at Green Pig Bistro pours a hazy amber with some creamy, slightly off white head. Nose has yeast and malt, crackery, biscuit, orange, some caramel. Flavor follows right along, sweet and nutty, malty, biscuit dough. Dry finish.

12oz can from Total Wine. Poured a slightly cloudy red color with a small off-white head. Aroma was some sweet malts, and what my memory can only describe as campsite wood. Flavor was sweet malts, some earthy hop notes.
