Description
The Virginia Beer Company is a brewery + taproom + beer garden in Williamsburg, VA. The brewery was founded in 2016 by two graduates of nearby William & Mary, who were joined by a brewmaster out of SweetWater Brewing in Atlanta. Four year-round beers are complemented by a boundary-pushing rotation of limited edition beers including Experimental IPA's, Barrel-Fermented Brett Saisons, and Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts, among many other diverse styles.

Uklar gul med hvitt skum. Lukter mango, appelsin og grapefrukt. Kraftig men samtidig myk i munnfølelse. Smaker appelsin, grapefrukt og sitrus. God bitter avslutning.
