Imperial Pumpkin Stout


We've been doing pumpkin ales for a few years and decided to switch it up this season. Neither of us have attempted Russian Imperial Stouts before.

Session IPA


Based on Beer Advocate's (and AHA's) 'Pliny the Toddler' (AHA Pliny the Toddler). We really wanted a sessionable IPA -- especially with out new kegging system. Something drinkable, but aggressively hopped. We wanted grapefruity, citrusy, tropical; instead of piney, resiny, bitter. We'll reuse the yeast for a IBA/ Black IPA more towards the Fall.

Cynically American Saison

Channeling one of the recipes from Surly (Beer Advocate)-- one of our favorite breweries. A Saison hopped with American and New Zealand stone fruity and earthy hops. Hopefully with 1 gallon finished with Brett.

Reunited IPA - 100% Brettanomyces IPA


Kayla is finally in DC and we decided to make something for the occasion. We've been wanting to play around with Brett and we love hoppy IPAs.

White House Honey Ale - 1st Anniversary



One year after John successfully petitioned for the release of Obama's homebrew recipes, we decided to make a small anniversary batch. Again with local honey, but this time with some local yeast.
