RSVP on Facebook Food truck schedule: January 9-12 Thursday: Hollywood Cheesesteaks Friday: Taco Club Saturday: Intergalactic Tacos Sunday: LOWCO Eatery Earl Grey Brown Ale Saturday, January 18, 12-10pm Earl Grey Brown Ale is back! This annual tradition is a collaboration beer between Ardent Craft Ales and Potter's Craft Cider, and we're bringing it back for the 6th year in a row on Saturday, January 18. For this release, we're throwing an all-day party and featuring four different Potter’s ciders on tap in Ardent's taproom! Plus, Zorch Pizza will be back in the beer garden cooking up their awesome pizzas all day. Earl Grey Brown Ale is a classic, malt-forward English brown ale brewed with Rostov's Earl Grey tea. Fragrant citrus aromatics complement flavors of black tea and bergamot in this balanced, light-bodied beer. 6.5% ABV • 20 IBU Available on draft in the taproom beginning Saturday Available in 4-packs of 12 oz. bottles to go beginning Sunday Please note that due to the special ABC permit required to sell alcohol produced by another manufacturer, we will not be able to sell any beer to-go on Saturday. Earl Grey 4-packs and all the rest of our usual packaged products will be available again beginning Sunday. POTTER’S CIDERS Farmhouse Dry (8.5%) Pale gold and effervescent with pronounced fruit aroma hinting of peach and melon. Bright acidity with aromatic intensity from Gold Rush, Albemarle Pippin, and Old Virginia Winesap apples. Strawberry Ginger (6.9%) The flavor and aroma from ripe strawberries balances the tart acidity of an aromatic blend of Virginia apples with the lively spice of fresh ginger. It is bright, fruit forward and flavorful with zero grams of residual sugar. Flemish Sour (9%) The Flemish Sour starts with a blend of fresh-pressed Virginia apples inoculated with the famous Roeselare yeast blend. This yeast, which is traditionally used in the production of Flemish Red Ales, is so named for the town of Roselare in Belgium and home to the famed Rodenbach Brewery that is credited with the creation of this wonderful yeast. The cider is fermented and aged in French oak barrels. It then receives a hefty dose of tart Montmorency cherries, adding a definitively tart, fruity note to this dry, funky cider. Highland (9%) This Goldrush single varietal cider is aged in Virginia Highland Malt Whisky barrels from Virginia Distillery Company. The bright, acidic fruit character is balanced with aromas of vanilla, caramelized sugar, and a light smokiness reminiscent of single malt scotch. RSVP on Facebook Cleaning day ardentcraftales A clean brewery is a happy brewery, and we regularly scrub down every inch of the brewhouse to prevent any risk of contamination or infection. We work hard to develop, brew, and package the best beer possible, and cleaning is a huge part of that process!
