Kickoff the Richmond Release

all locations

 

 

Featuring their flagship

Vienna Lager & Eight Point IPA.

In addition each location will have a small allocation of the following, available only at Capital Ale House! Be the first in Richmond to taste these beers!

 

Ale of Fergus, ESB ABV 5.8%
Extra Special Bitters are English style ales that are a cut above the normal house beer. English malts, hops and yeast make this full bodied copper colored ale extra special. 28 IBU.


Black Rock, Milk Stout ABV 5.6%

We added a generous amount of milk sugar to this black beer to create mild sweetness and fuller body. Black, medium-full bodied with hints of malted-milk chocolate goodness! Milk Stouts originated in England and were seen as being so wholesome and nutritious that they were often prescribed to nursing mothers and convalescence.


Kilt Flasher, Scottish Ale ABV 7.8%
This Scottish-style wee heavy ale is deep ruby in color, full in body with a sweet, malty finish. A great beer for late Fall or early Winter. If it ain’t Scottish it’s...!


 

Richmond, Come get your first taste of one of the newest and most award winning breweries in VA at Capital Ale House Tuesday January 31st!

Devils Backbone new state of the art brewery is now up and running in Lexington , VA and finally available in the Richmond area! Look out for their Eightpoint IPA and Vienna lager and for a special treat swing by Capital Ale House during the kick off and taste some of the beers to come.

Blind Beer Tasting

 

Each month, we will be hosting a monthly beer tasting at one of our locations. It will feature 5 different beers to try. Each tasting will feature one specific style. The cost for the tasting will be JUST $2.00. The beers will be poured in 2 oz. samples and will not be labeled other than a number. You will have the opportunity to taste each beer without any prejudice or bias regarding name or brewery preference. There will be no brewery representative to tell you how great or rare it is- just you, your taste buds, and your passion for beer.

 Each tasting will also include a rating card. You will have to decide which one is your favorite. The following week we will list the mystery beers with their corresponding number and also list which one was the evening favorite. 

 

The next tasting will be .........

TBA

 

No need to make a reservation, just come by between 6:00 and 9:00.

See you then,

Chris Holder
