With floral and peppery notes on the nose, and a crisp, peppery finish, this mild-bodied, straw-colored beer from New Realm Brewing, near the Oceanfront, is made to drink all night. Try it on draft in their newly revamped taproom and beer garden, or take a six-pack to-go.

This tropical beer hits right away with a distinctive guava aroma on the nose but also carries light hints of peach, passionfruit, mango, and pineapple. These tropical fruits are also present in the taste, with a very slight IPA hoppiness at the end, making for a smooth and slightly-rich medium bodied beer that you have to try when at Commonwealth, in the Chesapeake Bay District.
AVIAN - Bier de Miel
Reaver Beach Brewing

With flowers and honey on the nose, this farmhouse-style ale, brewed with rich Belgian malt, has a slight honeysuckle sweetness up front, and a smooth, refreshing finish. This delicious beer is available on draft at Reaver Beach, in the Inland area of Virginia Beach, or in growlers to-go.

With an aroma of rhubarb and wheat, this tart beer comes with a hint of salt that sour fans are sure to love. Grab it on draft at Pleasure House Brewing, in the Chesapeake Bay District, or grab a couple 32 oz. growlers to enjoy at home.
