Derecho Lager returns!

Get ready to raise a glass – Derecho Lager is back!

Join us on Friday, August 8th to celebrate the much-awaited return of our cherished stormy day lager.

Derecho Lager® is named after a violent storm which barreled through the DC Metro region on June 29th, 2012, leaving the brewery without power for five days. Unable to control fermentation temperatures, a tank of freshly brewed pilsner was at risk of being lost. Realizing the beer would not meet the guidelines of a Bohemian Pilsner, we decided to experiment with the beer – keeping fermentation temperatures on the warmer side, and dry-hopping with Centennial hops. These non-traditional techniques paid off, and the result was the creation of our first American Lager! 4.8% ABV

Derecho Lager will be available on draft and in 16oz cans to-go at the Tasting Room only.
