Hours: Sun 12 - 5:00 pm, Mon-Sat 12 - 7:00 pm 
Founded by enthusiastic homebrewers, Brass Cannon Brewing is a craft brewery dedicated to the production of high quality brews for sale on tap. We currently offer 6 quality brews at our tap room in Toano, VA. We usually have 4 year-round offerings, 1 seasonal and 1 langrage tap that changes whenever we feel like it.
On Tap: Barrage Brown Ale, Angry Scot Scottish style wee heavy ale, Muzzle Flash American amber ale, Broadside IPA, and Smoothbore Stout.
Seasonal: Kanonefest (Fall). A Märzen style beer that uses ale yeast instead of the traditional lager yeast.
Langrage Line: Tits McGee Raspberry Golden Ale, a Wet Hopped pale ale with a great hoppy and herbal aroma. Most of the hops were picked only hours before they were used.
Very happy to see the great response to the announcement of our upcoming move/expansion. We have a Kickstarter going to raise funds for improvements to the new tasting room. This is your chance to be involved in making our new location even better. The help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
