Description
Corcoran Brewing Company was founded in 2011 on the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Waterford Virginia. This was the second business venture for Corcoran whom had been making award winning wines since 2004. Corcoran which is family owned and operated decided in 2011 to branch out into the hand crafted beer industry. Initially started in a barn on old farmland near Corcoran Vineyards, this combination became Virginia’s first vineyard / brewery combo in the state. After several years of growing business it was realized that there was not enough room to stay as demand for the beer grew. In early 2014 the brewery was moved to Purcellville Virginia which is about 6 miles from where it started. Corcoran Brewing Company has produced over thirty three distinct beers since opening day. We strive to create both traditional beer types as well as creating unique experiences with experimental beers. On any given day we have twelve beers on tap ranging from Kolsch style, American Pale Ales, IPAs, Imperial IPAs, Stouts, Bourbon barrel aged, port barrel aged and more. This daily broad selection of quality hand-made craft beers has been a primary reason for our success. Customers can always find a beer that meets their drinking style.

6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Nice crisp and clear amber, copper and lightly ruby tinted body with a rich and thick three centimetre tall, slightly deeper than tan coloured head. Aroma of nuts, earth, sugars and most importantly and noticeable - full pumpkins and squash. Medium-bodied; Strong sweet and fruity flavour at first with a hint of bitterness, some deep and pungent malt and quite a bit of unfinished sweetness which hits the palate just right.Aftertaste is deep and strong with the malt, alcohol and spruce combining with the sweetness which is easy to tolerate but shows a lot of deep flavours at the end. Overall, a nice pumpkin and squash-based beer that gets away with pungent, and assertive tweet from the complex flavours and a lot of that hops. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Washington (Foggy Bottom), DC on 04-November-2014 for US$11,99 sampled at home in Washington o n18-December-2014.
