Derecho Lager Release

We are tapping our Derecho Lager on Friday, June 9th starting at noon. This year the Derecho Lager will be a Tasting Room only release. Come enjoy a pint and grab some cans for take home enjoyment. 

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!   Since Derecho’s debut, our production team has refined the recipe each summer. The present formulation is brewed with 100% Centennial hops, Derecho is bright blonde in color, with bread like flavors from the malts, and citrus and pine notes for the hops. This lager has a medium body and finishes with a clean hop bitterness. #SaveTheBeer

Derecho will be available on draft and in 16oz 4-pack cans to-go. This year the Derecho will only be available through the Tasting Room. 

We have Borinquen Lunch Box as our food truck starting around 4pm.
