James River Brewery Brews

Core & Award Winning Brews

The Fluvanna Fluss was the Gold Medal Winner at the 2015 Virginia Craft Brewers Cup and BestWheat,

Fluvanna Fluss (Hefeweizen Ale)

 ABV: 5.0%  |  IBU: 9 

The Fluvanna Fluss was the Gold Medal Winner at the 2015 Virginia Craft Brewers Cup and BestWheat, Light Beer at 2017 Microfestivus. The Fluss (pronounced “floos”, it’s “river” in German)is a traditional, unfiltered Bavarian-Style weissbier (white wheat beer) brewed with Pilsen andMunich maltsand white wheat. A light and crisp malty aroma leads to a soft hint of hops hittingyour tongue that quickly gives way to the toasted bready malt flavors that dominate this brew 

Green Eyed Lady (Belgian Strong Ale)

 ABV: 8.4%  |  IBU: 22 

Winner of the Bronze Medal for Belgian Strong Ale at the 2015 Virginia Craft Brewers Cup, the Green Eyed Lady was our first flagship ale. Brewed in the Belgian Golden Strong Ale style, this beer is complex with floral, spicy, and fruity notes. The bold spices that hit on the front are a pleasant surprise after the soft floral nose. The floral bouquet hits at the back, and the flavors mingle to leave a fruity and spicy finish. 

Hatton Ferry APA (American Pale Ale)

  ABV: 5.6  |  IBU: 30 

This American-style Pale Ale was the First Place winner of the 2015 Brewery Challenge. Brewed with Centennial, Cascade and Mosaic hops, this light and crisp APA has a hoppy bouquet that’s especially refreshing after a day outdoors or on the river. The bold hops are balanced throughout, and each sip finishes with a pleasant floral bouquet. 

James Blonde (Blonde Ale)

 ABV: 4.4% |  IBU: 12 

The James Blonde Ale is a balanced, light-bodied ale that is very easy to drink. It is an ideal entry to the world of craft beer, or for the drinker who is not a fan of malty or hoppy beers.

James Bean Vanilla Oatmeal Porter (Porter )

 ABV: 6.9% |  IBU: 10 

To create the James Bean, we use the base malt recipe of the Sherman Stout but add oatmeal and vanilla to the brew, removing the strong coffee flavor that is found in the Sherman. The result is a Porter that is medium brown in color and full in taste. Toasted malts hit on the front and quickly mingle with the vanilla before giving way to hints of oatmeal on the back. 

James Brown (Brown Ale)

ABV: 6.0% |  IBU: 25 

James Brown is our Brown Ale that has a sweet caramel taste with a slight nutty finish. The Brown is hopped with Fuggles, which gives it a light earthy bitterness.

River Runner ESB (Extra Special Bitter)

 ABV: 5.6%  |  IBU: 15 

Gold Medal Winner AND Best of Show Winner at the 2016 Virginia Craft Brewers Cup! Don’t let the name fool you: ESBs really aren’t bitter. Brewed with pale and crystal malts, as well as British Fuggle hops, River Runner is our take on a traditional English-Style Pale Ale. Its medium copper color and ultra-mild hops are perfectly balanced by bold malts. Light and smooth with a mild malty aftertaste, you definitely don’t want to miss out on this award-winning ESB. 

Sherman Stout (English Sweet Stout)

 ABV: 5.3%  |  IBU: 12 

Although dark in color, the roasted malts add to the dry, drinkable nature of this English-style sweet stout. An aroma of chocolate and coffee dance through the nose to bring a strong coffee flavor on the front and back, and a mild chocolatey finish, with a very low level of bitterness. The thick texture and roasted malt notes round out this heady stout. 

Tuber IPA (Indian Pale Ale)

ABV: 6.5% IBU 60 

Tuber is a very refreshing and easy drinking dry hopped beer brewed with Mosaic and Falconer hops. Like the tubers that travel down the James River, floral and piney hops glide over your palate throughout this well-balanced, golden brown hued IPA. The bitter hops hit first, but the piney finish leaves you thirsty for your next sip.
