COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Just as Patrick Henry once stood addressing the city of Richmond in 1775 to spur resistance against the tyrannical British Empire, 20 years ago we were stirred to join the cry for resistance against the tyrannical oppression of industrial beer. And now, the opening of our Richmond brewery is yet another shot in the salvo that has been fired on behalf of American brewing independence. If we wish to brew free, if we mean to retain our identity and preserve the privilege of access to independent craft beer, we must recognize it is a group effort. We do not stand alone. And so, on our new brewing grounds, we gathered with fellow craft breweries and “His Excellency,” Governor McAuliffe, to join together in force. A group cry of freedom & independence! Consider this aggressively hopped imperial IPA, jam-packed with Virginia raspberries and blackberries, a testament to our passion and unwillingness to settle or sell out! We think Patrick Henry would be proud, and hope you will be too.

UPDATED: JUN 28, 2019 July 13, 2017 - with blankboy, gregclow, jercraigs and mabel - bomber. Clear ruby-amber with a huge fluffy beige lasting head. Aroma is alcohol, slightly leafy dry malt, dry resin, crushed pine needles and some citrus (8-). Taste follows but sweeter and boozier. Astringent, boozy and burnt mouthfeel, weakly carbonated with a medium finish and a bit of a leafy/twiggy finish.

Bomber bottle I've had hanging around the beer cellar for a while. Pours a hazy dark caramel color with a large head. Malty aroma with some hints of fruit. Starts out crisp, lightly carbonated and slightly tangy. Fills the mouth with a hoppy Simcoe taste and a balanced malty base. Finishes smooth with a lot of bitterness with hints of blackberries. The alcohol is noticeable and warming.
