Description
Popularized in myth for slaying a fire-breathing dragon, St. George was a 3rd century Roman soldier who stood up for good over evil and was put to death.

The St. George Brewing Company is located in Hampton, VA. It has been in operation since 1998, making us one of the oldest microbreweries in the Hampton Roads area. Our brews are geared toward traditional English and German style ales though occasionally we branch out. We have a tap room that offers 9-12 taps of our rotating beers during our business hours.

The various legends surrounding his death inspired the crusading kings of 12th century England. Today, St George is known as the patron saint of chivalry as well as the patron saint of England.

We have tapped that same inspiration to create award winning ales and lagers that proudly bear the cross of St George.

Slightly hazy golden colour with the smallest of orange tint. A somewhat thick white head with large bubbles rests atop the beer for a few moments. Smells of corn, yeast and wheat all dominate the aroma. Thin to Medium-bodied; Very strong malt flavour with sharp metallic flavours. The strong flavours last well into the aftertaste and take away from the overall enjoyment from the beer. Sweet and malty flavours all take part in the aftertaste as well. Not a great pils, there are much better from the area including: Tuppers Hop Pocket Pils! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wine & Liqours in Washington, D.C. I will try this again to hopefully get the beer that everyone else who rated this beer had...but this wasn't it! I'm curious to see what people say about this batch as well though!

Golden colour, little to no smell...very hoppy beginning, not much aftertaste, but not a ''bad'' beer!

Thanks urbnhautebourg! I love getting my hands on micros like this. Pretty autumn color with a thin white head. Vanilla and figs in the aroma which I liked. This is one of the better Pilseners I have tried to date. Hoppy and fresh-tasting.
