Brass Cannon Brewing, 8105 Richmond Rd., Toano (Williamsburg)
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. http://www.brasscannonbrewing.com/
Hours: Sun 12 - 5:00 pm, Mon-Sat 12 - 7:00 pm
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: Session Porter is a session beer made from the final runnings of a porter mash. The resulting beer has all the same flavor aspects of a porter, but in milder concentrations. This beer is only 4% alcohol, so it’s well suited for longer drinking sessions.
