Brewery Announcement:
We are more-than-excited to announce the addition of our 5bbl Brewhouse in Alexandria, VA. Cabinet Artisanal Brewhouse is located in the same building as the former Shenandoah Brewery, just outside of Washington, D.C.
Terry Hawbaker, a 7 year veteran of Bullfrog Brewing, is our Brewmaster. With our special house yeast, will be focusing on making “primitive field” beers in our urban farmhouse brewery. A field beer can be defined as a grisettes, saisons, traditional lambics, etc… Terry has always had a fondness for reinventing European-style Farmhouse ales. Terry is by no means a traditional brewer, and he thrives by mixing up new and old brewing techniques. Barrel aging is certainly in the works, as this is an area where Terry has produced some of his most successful beers.

Draft. Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma of subtle white pepper and straw. Taste of hay, white pepper, bitter throuout. Not quite enough barnyard.

Draft. Hazy amber brown color, massive beige head, solid lacing. Aroma of rye and pumpernickel. Taste is very smooth, like a rye bread sandwich on rye with a bit of rye on the side. Very nice.

Draft at the source, just tapped tonight. Pours extremely dark maroon, thick brown head with great retention, solid lacing. Aroma of burnt cocoa, crushed French roasted espresso beans, smoky edge. Taste is an espresso make that’s been left on the burner too long, vanilla, and subtle whiskey. It’s amazing that this is a 6% beer! Wonderful stuff.
