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.

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.

Gravity dispense at GBBF ’13, 15/08/13 as ’St Georges English Style IPA’. Cheers to Joris for the pour. Hazed golden amber with a thin off white head. Nose is fruit forward, toasted malts, orange, citrus tones. Taste comprises orange pith, light mango strains, sugar, subtle hops. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dryish finish. Ok drinkable stuff.

Growler from Sedona Charlottesville. Pours a clear dark amber color with a large foamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of roast and lots of chocolate. The taste is again lots of chocolate, roasted malts, a bit of burnt sugar and some fairly strong hops. Thin-medium bodied, lingering bitterness, very drinkable. Nice beer.

From cask. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is peachy and greasy grapefruity. Bitter, crisp hoppy and light toasted malty. Mango and passion fruity, medium dry and malt is clearly there to balance the hops. Bitter and toasted malty finish.

On draught at The Taphouse in Hampton. This beer pours a dark brown color with a medium beige head that dissipates slowly. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted nuts, malt and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of toasted malt, nuts and grassy hops. The finish is mildly bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at the tap room (as Imperial Stout). Opaque brownish-black color with a medium tan head that recedes steadily. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of roasted malt and dark chocolate. Medium to full body with flavors of roast malt, molasses and bittersweet chocolate. The finish is roasty with a mocha aftertaste. Above average overall.
