October News From the Beer Trenches
Hop Harvest Ale
Our new Hop Harvest Ale is a distinctive seasonal brew that uses freshly harvested hops from upstate New York.
This unfiltered ale is autumnal amber in color with a creamy white head, and an appealing delicate aroma that strikes a balance between the floral hops and sweet malt. Hop Harvest Ale is a medium-bodied beer with effervescent hop flavors and a pleasant citric tartness in the finish.
Wet hop beer are made with freshly harvested hop flowers, so they still possess the volatile flavors that are lost during processing. Dominion Hop Harvest Ale was brewed with Cascade and Centennial hops that had been harvested less than 48 hours prior to brewing.
Once a thriving hop growing region, New York ceased hop production about 50 years ago. A hop growing resurgence is underway in the region, and we were eager to experiment with these east coast hops.
Hop Harvest Ale will be available in the Brewpub on Friday, October 20.
On the Horizon
Our new small-batch Dominion ESB will be available on draught in the Brewpub by the end of October.
Dominion Winter Brew
Our next seasonal beer, Dominion Winter Brew, will be available in the first half of November.
Dominion Winter Brew is a French-style Christmas Ale. the defining character is a rich, complex, malt taste. The beer has a soft vanilla aroma that blends with spicy and nutty malt notes.
ABV 7.3%
Congratulations to......us
Dominion Octoberfest Lager was awarded a bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival in September. This brings our GABF medal count to a total of 15, and this is the second medal in three years for the Octoberfest.
