Come celebrate the third anniversary of the creation of our limited-edition summer seasonal: the Derecho California Common. The storm rolled through the last Friday of June in 2012 and knocked out power for about 5 million in the mid-Atlantic, including our brewhouse, which led to the creation of a new beer for us. This June, join us on the last Friday for the beer release.
This California Common is deep golden in color, has biscuity flavors, and features an assertive hop profile.
Live music with Levi Stephens (http://www.levistephens.com/) starts at 7 p.m. In the lot, Borinquen Lunch Box food truck will be serving up the area’s best Puerto Rican food (Try their Tripleta!) and Rocklands Barbeque and Grilling Company food truck will be dishing out delicious BBQ (Ask about the Pearl!).
A limited supply of Derecho keychain-flashlight-bottle openers will be given away, just in case the power goes out! And limited-edition Derecho Common Medford Pilsner glasses will be available for sale.
The Tasting Room will be open until 10 p.m. Because of the party, there will be no brewery tour, but a third bar will be set up in the beer garden.
Come out for the DC release party of Derecho Common and Lost + Found starting at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1.
