Barrel Chest Wine And Beer

Welp, it happened and our first fall beer will be delivered tomorrow. Congrats Hugh Malcolm! Thanks to the rest of you folks for playing along.

Made ya look! Haha. But really, we were just talking about when our first fall beer will arrive because it's always way too early, and sweltering hot. Let's play a fun little game, who can guess the right date? Whoever gets it, or closest to, will win a $20 gift card. Comment below....

Just a little reminder that our FREE tasting series has changed to Tuesdays from 4-7pm and Themed Flights are on Thursday nights from 4-7pm. You can find more info about the flights on our events page.

Our FREE tasting selection for the evening starting at 4pm. We kept it refreshing, fruity, hoppy and light. See you soon!!!

The🌲 seltzers in our store are incredibly popular and have become a major category for us, so this news may be confusing and disappointing.
We have decided not to renew the license required to continue selling 🌲 products when it expires in August. This DOES NOT affect any other part of our beer/wine operation.
The immediate legal future of these 🌲 products is uncertain at both the state and federal level,. So, for a beer and wine store like us, the license cost, compliance burden, awful inspection process, and advertising restrictions no longer make sense. Just not enough juice for the squeeze I'm afraid.
We will not be reordering these products as of today, but currently still have plenty of stock. We will sell through our remaining inventory until it is gone or until our license expires on 8/18.
Sorry to disappoint. We are bummed too!

Luckily we still have that best beer and wine selection in VA!

The US is about to have her 250th birthday and what better way to celebrate than with beer! You’re in luck because we just got this drop filled with STRUNNERS.

For our wine drinkers, come by tonight from 4-7pm for our BBQ Wines flight. They promise to pair perfectly with anything coming off your grill this weekend.

Tonight’s FREE tasting lineup. This is a mix of products we already carry and love, and some NA and cocktail sample options that we are thinking about carrying and want to hear what you think. I’m thinking about spreading this strawberry goat cheese on these cookies, yeah?

Looks like it’s going to be a lovely weekend for drinkin’! We just tapped these 3 refreshing lil (and not so lil) libations on our self pour beer wall. Also a killer rice lager from Bluejacket, and we are kicking ourselves for not buying more package 😢. So you’ll just have to come in to try.

Here’s what’s going down for our free tasting tonight. A couple of wines from Virginia and a smattering of cider, beer etc.

The other picture is of some BRAND NEW beers that just drop and definitely won’t last long.
