The brewery's first American lager, born when a June 2012 storm cut the power and a tank of pilsner fermented warm. It was dry hopped with Centennial. Citrusy, biscuity and clean.
Where to get it
Around Alexandria and nearby towns.
- At the taproom
Poured on draft at the Alexandria tasting room. The site says the brewery ships beer to D.C. and the Mid-Atlantic, but it names no stores, so check with the brewery for cans and where to find them.
