MODE
American Lager
- Made exclusively with Virginia grain and U.S. hops.
- Brewed with renewable energy, as always.
- Slow & Low: 2 month production time.
HERE & NOW
Mode is a modern American Lager. With gratitude for lager traditions others began far away and long ago, Mode reflects our here and now. Growing a New Tradition celebrates our country’s highest quality ingredients and special methods to create beer that’s uniquely American.
AMPLIFY WITHOUT DISTORTION
We lay the foundation for Mode by ushering the all-Virginia grist through our lager mash regime. The aim is to carefully open up, but not contort, the beautiful depth of flavor from local grain that’s been expertly malted in small batch. Balancing the malt’s fresh bread crust-meets-leavened dough character is a refreshing pop of Meyer lemon and noble spice from a charge of U.S. hops. The result is a full-flavored, easy-drinking lager.
LAND BEER IS FROM HERE
Made exclusively with Virginia grain for flavor, identity, and purpose. Choosing to buy local grain means using the highest quality malt available to offer you beer from here with wonderful flavor and unique character. In two words: Land Beer. Flavor is front and center, but there’s a lot more behind why we choose to buy local grain.

Draft at Rocklands BBQ. Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was clean, straw-like grain, with a very light grassy character. Flavor was clean, crisp, and easy to drink. Quite a nice beer.
