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.

Mild walnut aroma. Clear ruby brown, thick sudsy cascading tan head, decent lacing. Earthy soil flavor, walnuts, slightly mossy. Nice, but perhaps overly subtle.Very approachable. A fine tribute to a fine gentleman.

Sample at the Willoughby PBCCP tasting on 11/17/2013: The beer pours a clear orange-copper color with a medium foamy off-white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, malt and caramel. Medium-bodied and slightly syrupy with flavors of resiny hops, earthy malt and grain. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hops aftertaste. Hard to believe this is double digit ABV Double IPA the way it drinks. Slightly above average overall.

Pour is a hazy golden with an average white head. Aroma is a decent pils malt with sweetness in there. Flavor again starts out with the pils malt but then kinda gets syrupy. Finish is dry and cracker malty. Would have gotten a better review if not for that secondary thick syrupiness.
