Mmmm. Coffee Porter. (at Benchtop Brewing Company)

Check us out in this month's Veer! #vabeer (at Benchtop Brewing Company)

Don't forget our Nelson Sauvin dry hopped saison drops tomorrow. It is bursting with delicate white grape aromas that complement the fruity esters and peppery notes from the yeast. This one finishes dry across your pallet while still providing a creamy indulgence from the oats. #norfolkbeer #vabeer #benchtop #chelseabeer (at Benchtop Brewing Company)

We now have growlers in! In celebration, we are going to tap one keg of our tweaked double dry hopped (and super hazy juicy) Educated Guess hoppy blonde this Thursday so everyone gets an opportunity to try this version side by side with version 1 in the name of continuous improvement.

Meet our 2nd lactobacillus baby. She enjoys munching on sugars to produce nice clean sour flavors, such as what you will find in our current sour offering, Mermaid's Scorn. However, this time around we'll see what happens when we throw a few hundred pounds of local blueberries we had frozen at harvest in the mix. #virginiasours

We are mashing in our first decadent Porter today. The brewery is filled with wonderful smells of chocolate, coffee, graham crackers, and toasted bread. If only you could smell it. Oh wait, you can! We open at 11am, so come on down and take it in while you watch some football and enjoy one of our 5 delicious brews. Bakehouse of Chelsea will be delivering their tasty pizzas until 8:30 tonight. #coffeechocolateporter #vacraftbeer #chelseabeer #norfolkbeer #earlystartoNYE #pizzabeerfootball (at Benchtop Brewing Company)

Fresh roasted cacao nibs and some cherrywood smoked malt. A decadent dark beer in the works? #chelseabeer #norfolkbeer #vacraftbeer (at Benchtop Brewing Company)

Nothing like a little sip of whiskey to kick the day off. Just had to check out the new Copper Fox place and pick up some cherrywood smoked malt. #supportlocal (at Copper Fox Distillery)

Didn't get that red rider BB gun for Christmas? Don't despair. Come on down and have a brew. We just tapped out fifth beer, which is our IPA. We are also doing flights now. Merry Christmas! #hoppychristmas (at Benchtop Brewing Company)
