"Scrum & Hooker" Nut Brown Ale (5.5%) is as nutty, malty, and complex as ever. And as we find ourselves waltzing into Fall this Labor Day weekend, there may not be a better brew out there to mark the transition. Did you know: "Scrum & Hooker" Nut Brown Ale (5.5%) is one of 3 beers in our core lineup alongside "Week Away" Hazy IPA (6.5%) and "White Tail" Hefeweizen (5.5%). And that: Each of our core beers focuses on a different primary ingredient in beer, highlighting the best of malt (Scrum), hops (Week Away), and yeast (White Tail). Each core beer style also originated within a different major beer culture across the world: "Scrum & Hooker" Nut Brown (England) "Week Away" Hazy IPA (USA) "White Tail" Hefeweizen (Germany) So as you're out and about this holiday weekend spying what's new and exciting in local beer, we suggest giving Scrum & Hooker a spot in your holiday plans. And when you do... we'd love to see you tag us and share a picture! . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #corebeers #scrumandhooker #weekaway #whitetail #flagship #nutbrown #hefeweizen #hazyipa #malt #hops #yeast #england #usa #germany #mdbeer #mocomade #craftbeer #laborday #holiday #beer #brown #brownale #hefe #ipa #hazy #truerespite (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEzL3Glh45K/?igshid=1pel8l631iwj8

Today we're tapping the maple variant of our Scrum & Hooker English Nut Brown. We took a few barrels off of our last batch of Scrum & Hooker and added some Grade A Vermont maple syrup from High Low Farm in Woodstock, VT and a touch of vanilla. . . . #maplescrum #englishnutbrown #maplenutbrown #nutbrown #scrumandhooker #mytruerespite #maplesyrup (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zRLxUBbjC/?igshid=1tfklhswvlswz

Scrum & Hooker Nut Brown makes its grand debut in cans tomorrow! This beer has grown a personality of its own on its journey towards canhood. It started out as a simple, malty brown ale brewed on the pilot system; meant only for a brief but exciting showing in the tap room. The very last drops of this beer found their way into a crowler that was shipped off to the 2018 MD Craft Beer Cup for critique and judgment. It left an impression. Scrum & Hooker took home the Gold Medal for all browns & ambers entered in the competition. Once the style-specific rounds were over, all of the gold medal winners were sent forth into a final sorting of greats: the Best In Show round. Scrum & Hooker performed brilliantly. Of all ~250 beers entered the competition, Scrum & Hooker took third overall. This Bronze Medal for Best In Show is still the single most prestigious award we've earned since opening. After its grand debut at the MD Craft Beer Cup, Scrum & Hooker journeyed into the production realm. A 15 BBL batch was brewed and distributed to a few lucky accounts across the state. Still... The story was not finished. With Nut Brown fans clamoring for more, we decided to give Scrum & Hooker the royal treatment it had long deserved: a proper canning run. And now tomorrow: the crowning achievement for this, our most revered of ales. Scrum & Hooker gets a can release, and we're very excited to share this moment with all of you. Cheers! . . . #mytruerespite #scrumandhooker #nutbrown #canrelease #mdbeer #marylandbeer #mocobeer #mocomade #rockvillebeer #rockvillemd #rockville #egudedrive #drinkgude #craftnotcrap #finally (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpAXKdhRUW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cjhrq7a7kmig

Wow! We thought yesterday was enough. But today... Today we were honored with the Bronze Medal for Best In Show. #ScrumAndHooker Nut Brown just took all of our expectations and shattered them. We are completely floored, very thankful, and so excited that the judges found the love in Scrum & Hooker that we put into it. This experience has been motivating and humbling all the same. Words don't seem to have meaning right now outside of "thank you." We're going to continue making the best beer we can and we hope you'll stick with us through this wild ride. Thank you. Thank you all. Cheers! (at Shrine of St. Anthony)
