We have another wonderful lager releasing this week: "Bobcat" Tmavé Pivo Dark Lager (5.5%) is a complex and malty Czech-style dark lager. Layers of caramel and roast set a light-to-medium bodied foundation and are accentuated by a kiss of classic lager sulfur notes. This beer has been a passionate request of our assistant brewer, Brian, since he started here and we were finally able to work it into the schedule. The Forest Animal lager series has prominently featured incredible art done by local artist Ashley Hauck of @spicymustarddesigns. We're absolutely loving brewing this series and this iteration is no slouch. We've been blown away by the response to these lagers and as long as you all keep loving and crushing them the way you have, our forest animal lagers will continue to be regularly featured in the rotation. Thank you all for your continued support and please enjoy Bobcat Tmavé Pivo, the perfect Fall lager! . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #mocobeer #mocomade #indiebeer #craftbeer #tmave #czech #dark #darklager #monday #mood #art #canart #labelart (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF97j33BHLn/?igshid=9oin68irkh98

Next week, we're releasing a project we're incredibly proud of: "Hogan's Heroes" celebrates the incredible work and sacrifice of our state's frontline responders during this COVID-19 health crisis. Although it's brewed in the style of a West Coast IPA, we're calling it a "Maryland IPA" (6.5%) because it was brewed with all Maryland-grown hops and Maryland-malted malts. We felt at a time of closed shop fronts and economic turmoil, there was no better way to make our dollars matter than to spend them at local, independent businesses. Our pale, Vienna, and wheat malts were malted at @darkcloudmalthouse and our Centennial & Chinook hops were grown at Black Locust Hop Farm. Our yeast was isolated and propagated at @jasperyeast just over the river in Sterling, VA. Lastly, starting with release day on Wednesday, we're offering 30% off all beer for any doctors and nurses who purchase beer in person at the brewery for as long as Hogan's Heroes remains in stock. Make sure you let your bartender know you qualify for the discount when you order! . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #mocobeer #mocomade #buylocal #covid19 #coronavirus #thankyou #hogansheroes @govlarryhogan @larryhogan (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVWiUdhJC3/?igshid=1ep80xefdx73n

Friendly reminder: while #FruitCrushers sales open at noon on biermi today, the tap room doesn't open for walk-in sales nor pick-ups until 2pm. Let us reiterate: No walk-ins will be admitted before 2pm. We encourage ALL sales to come through biermi to minimize foot traffic inside the tap room and to allow for contactless order pick-up. When you arrive for pick-up, we ask that you please remain in your vehicle and follow the contactless pick-up instructions included in your confirmation email. Your patience while we fulfill what will likely be multiple orders simultaneously will be appreciated. If you MUST come into the tap room, please be sure you are wearing a mask and that you maintain appropriate social distancing at all times. The safety of our staff and our guests is our top priority. We will enforce these policies by asking violators to leave the tap room. Delivery orders for same-day delivery today will be capped at the first 75 orders (even if completed before 2pm.) If you order for delivery today, we appreciate your understanding that while we will do our best to complete all deliveries by 8pm, the sheer volume of orders we are expecting may cause our delivery window to slip a little later. If this is of concern to you, we recommend you order for contactless curbside pick-up. Thank you all for your continued support and we hope you absolutely love this latest release of #FruitCrushers! . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #mocobeer #mocomade #rockvillebeer #rockvillerising #rockvillemd #rockville #derwood #gushers #nostalgia #sour #sourbeer #sourale #kettlesour #craftnotcrap #indiebeer #certifiedindependent #seektheseal #craftbeer #drinklocal (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_U-BylBp8R/?igshid=5dhk3ahhzrx6

Keg reservations have been added to our Brew Thru site: truerespite.com/presales For anyone looking to bring a keg of our beer home, you can reserve your keg online for free. Once reserved, you have 3 days to come on in to the brewery to pick it up and pay. Kegs are also available for walk-in purchase any time the tap room is open for walk-in service. Because restaurants and bars are now closed, the single best way to help our business is to buy a keg from us and return it the moment you empty it. We have an unfortunately wonderful selection of kegged beer at the moment so if you've got an empty kegerator at home, now is the time to take the leap! Kegerator or not, we're once again so incredibly thankful and humbled by the support we've received from concerned neighbors and friends. It's with your continued support that we'll find a way to muscle through this. Cheers and stay safe, everybody! . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #marylandbeer #mocobeer #mocomade @makersofmaryland #visitmoco #craftbeer #brewthru #biermi #beerdelivery #curbside #coronavirus #covid19 (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NRG-Xh4wj/?igshid=1b6tnv8u2l7br
