Description
Rip Rap Brewing is a small microbrewery in Norfolk, VA. It was born out of a brewing passion by ‘Liam, who started homebrewing while still serving in the Coast Guard. With the help of another Coastie, Ben, Rip Rap Brewing Co opened in April of 2016. Since then, the tasting room has expanded from four beers on tap to more than double that, started distributing beers to a small number of bars and restaurants in the local area, and has participated in a variety of beer festivals. Rip Rap is always looking for new styles of beer to bring to the ever rotating taps in the tasting room.

The only beer my wife would take pleasure in kissing me after drinking. Then again she's not here and I never would have ordered this if I knew it was peppermint. Some roast as well. Not my thing but not horribly done considering. Black pour with ok head. Bitter and minty end. Tap at Capital Ale House.

Decent scotch ale. Some citrus and a little peat malt like a beer in the swamp. Bottle. Tangy finish.
