Our brewing team uses the 5-barrel brew house and American Oak foeders at Shaw to experiment, collaborate and perfect. Our menu of house-brewed beers changes frequently, and covers a wide range of flavor profiles from tart to hops to malt.
Crisp, Light, Quenching. The Chr. Heurich Brewing Co. Senate Beer brand was popularized in the 1890s, survived Prohibition, and was produced until 1956. Test batches and the final recipe of our Senate Beer revival were developed by Pilot Brewer Jeff Clawson from Oregon State University's Fermentation Science Department who, together with the Professor of Fermentation Tom Shellhammer, analyzed a 20-page-laboratory-report on Senate Beer from 1948 to recreate the historic DC hometown favorite.
Spice, Citrus, Refreshing. This refreshing style of beer was brewed with an abundance of Red Wheat, White Wheat and Oats. We gently hopped it with Tettnang and Perle and finished it off in the whirlpool with the classic spices Coriander and Orange Peel with some Juniper berries added for a whimsical Right Proper twist. Simple, refreshing, and delicious.
Coriander, Grapefruit pith, Lemon. This collaboration between Ardent Craft Ales and Right Proper was crafted by two brewers who are nearly the same on paper: Carbon Copies, if you will. Same birthday, same profession, both earned Hop Scholarships through Pink Boots Society and most importantly, both are queer women who are lactose intolerant. Carbon Copy is a smol light bodied, slightly hoppy, low ABV ale that's meant to be shared - grab a glass and enjoy with friends!
RAISED BY WOLVES | Dry-Hopped Pale Ale | 5.0% abv | 16oz Pint
Juicy, Hoppy, Fruity. A medium-bodied, aromatic, dry-hopped pale ale. Not quite an India pale ale, nor a typical American pale ale, we brew Raised by Wolves to highlight the rich flavors and aromas of hops rather than their bitterness. This beer has aromas reminiscent of lush tropical, citrus and stone fruits with a juicy body that you can sink your teeth into.
NOT FORGOTTEN | Foeder-Aged Flanders Red Ale | 6.3% abv | 13.5oz Tulip
FUNK, CHERRY, OAK. Red Ale aged for 6 months in one of our American Oak Foeders. Expect a nice lightly tart, medium-bodied amber colored ale with tons of cherry notes and a good amount of caramel malt flavor. Oak flavor throughout and a nice touch of funk. Not Forgotten is named for previous brewer Lily(being one of Lily's last Right Proper brews). Gone, but...... Not Forgotten.
REPERTOIRE | Dunkelweizen | 6.4% abv | 16oz Pint
BANANA, CARAMEL, CHOCOLATE. Brewed with a combination of German malts, we used pale and pilsner malt, then added some caramelized malt with a touch of chocolate malt. We then used a German ale yeast strain that gives the beer a cloudy appearance and aromas of bananas and light spice. This beer is like a dark and maltier version of a hefeweizen.
NO CALL NO SHOW | Helles Bock | 8.2% abv | 13.5oz Tulip
RICH, CARAMEL, BREAD. Tons of flavor from the Pilsner malt, this Bock was lagered for over three months. Hallertau Blanc and Mittelfrüh hops were used in the kettle to give a nice, rounded flavor. Overall, this beer has a nice balance of malt and hops with a moderately dry finish. Served in a Tulip glass, because a Pint of this would be irresponsible.
OTHER JAM
In addition to our own beers, we have a few of our friends' beers too. Not a beer drinker? We don't judge. We offer draft cider, craft spirits, hard seltzer, wines on tap and and a few exciting sodas.
