🎺 Releasing Friday: "Ska" Hazy DIPA (8.5%) ft. Centennial Cryo, Strata & Mosaic hops 🎶 This hazy, juicy double IPA is the first release in our brand new #GenreHazy series. Complex layers of bright fruit and dank resin swirl through this saturated hop bomb, mimicking the exuberant tones of blaring horns, reggaeton guitars, and syncopated percussion beats of third-wave ska. This beautifully simplistic depiction of an iconic ska instrument was done by Rockville's own @spicymustarddesigns. "Ska" Hazy DIPA (8.5%) releases in our @truerespite_distro territory on Thursday, in our tap room on Friday, and in our @thecraftcoalition territory on Wednesday next week. . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #ska #thirdwaveska #trombone #hornsection #hazydipa #dipa #craftbeer #craftnotcrap #newrelease #certifiedindependent #indiebeer (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1DEM_NHfn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On this International Women's Day, we're thrilled to celebrate the contributions of all of our wonderful women not just to True Respite but to our communities and to the brewing industry at large. Pictured here is our Co-Lead Brewer, Arleigh (@ohmybeers), posing with a bottled concept and creation of her very own: "Happy International Women's Day" Fruited Sour (6.3%) w/ Dragonfruit, Strawberry & Marshmallow. The passion, creativity, and drive of our collective group of badasses has changed state laws, enhanced our community's sustainability practices, won brewing medals, and touched every guest who has walked through our doors. In an industry so often dominated by men, we are proud to be led by fearless women. Happy International Women's Day! ♀️ . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #womeninbeer #happyinternationalwomensday #girlpower (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiBqOcuADy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🏀 WE'RE HEATING UP! Tomorrow, in collaboration with our friends at @worldofbeer, our freshest haze hits taps and fridges. "From Way Downtown" Hazy IPA (6.5") ft. Centennial Cryo, Mosaic & Strata sits on a citrusy base of orange and lemon pith notes. The all-star duo of Strata & Mosaic take this hop bomb to new heights and really jam this dank hop profile home. Best of all, this slam dunk of an IPA checks into the game at just 6.5% ABV. It's the perfect partner to enjoy a slate full of Cinderella stories, buzzer beaters, and legendary upsets. We'd love to extend a huge thank you to Brian from @wobrockville for helping drive the concept and design of this spectacular beer. "From Way Downtown" Hazy IPA (6.5%) will be on draft exclusively in our tap room and at select World of Beer locations in Maryland. Cans will be available at the brewery, at select World of Beer locations in Maryland, and in a very few select retailers in our @truerespite_distro territory in Maryland and DC.

Sneak Peak: "Classic Rock" Hazy IPA (7.2%) ft. Centennial Cryo, Citra & Mosaic hops 🎸 A brand new Hazy IPA series will be unleashed next week! Our very first #GenreHazy, "Classic Rock", leans into the classic American hops that have defined American IPAs since their arrival. Centennial, Citra, and Mosaic have been the cornerstones of some of the most iconic IPAs out there in the same way that classic rock music has laid for the foundation for the increasingly eclectic blend of modern American rock music being produced today. There's a comfort in finding these hops together in beer. It's as familiar as cruising the highway to CCR or battling Saturday chores to Stevie Ray Vaughan. "Classic Rock" Hazy IPA (7.2%) drops next week in the tap room and throughout our @truerespite_distro footprint. 🎸 . . . #BeTheKey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #mocomade #madeinmaryland #RockEastDistrict #visitmoco #visitmocoeats #classicrock #classicrockhazyipa (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpP9JAgOgFO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are now officially the ONLY @caskmarque certified brewery south of the Mason-Dixon line! So, what does that mean? Cask Marque was started in England in 1998 and has been the standard evaluator of cask beer ever since. Assessors visit breweries and pubs twice a year to make sure that quality standards are maintained. We owe one of our investors, Curt Harpold, a great deal of thanks for both sponsoring the beer engine and hardware, as well as contacting Cask Marque to have them come and evaluate us for this certification. Curt has been a driving force behind True Respite’s cask project since its inception, and we are grateful to have the cask program in full motion. Significant kudos are also owed to the managers of the cask program – Co-Lead Brewer Sam Nelson and Co-Owner Steven Moore for keeping the cask beer flowing. Currently on cask is our "Scrum & Hooker" English-style Nut Brown Ale (5.5%). #cask #caskbeer #crafbeer #craftbeerlover #craftbeerlife #caskmarque #independentbeer #mocomade #rockeastdistrict (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-H0WAu56V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

☘️ It's one of the best weeks of the year! ☘️ Releasing Tomorrow: 👀 "Irish Eyes" Irish-style Red Ale (5.0%) This beautiful, malt-forward red ale has become a perennial staple for the lead up to St. Paddy's Day. Lively flavors of honey, dry caramel, and biscuit swirl in this supremely drinkable Irish ale. 🇮🇪 "Midnight In Cork" Irish-style Extra Stout (6.0%) Silky and full of deep roast, this annual favorite harkens to late nights on the cobblestones of Cork, living as the locals do under a sky blended with stars and hidden clouds. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, and a light smoke highlight throughout the pint. Both beers are available for pre-sale on biermi (link in bio!) and will be available TOMORROW in the tap room and throughout our @truerespite_distro footprint. Both will also be available through @thecraftcoalition shortly. 🍻 . . . #BeTheKey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #mocomade #visitmoco #visitmocoeats #rockvillemd #RockEastDistrict #indiebeer #certifiedindependent (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co79SVmOTLX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Release: "Chicken" Bock (6.9%) This brand new entry into our #AnimalLagerSeries is available for presale now on @biermiplease (link in bio) and drops on Wednesday in the tap room and across our @truerespite_distro footprint. Stylistically, "Chicken" Bock (6.9%) rests comfortably within the wheelhouse of a traditional amber-colored lager first brewed in the 14th century in Einbeck, Germany. Rich, malt-driven flavors of honey, caramel, and toast feature with a clean yeast profile offered by a fascinating high pressure lager yeast cultured by our friends at @jasperyeast. Traditionally, Bock beers have been marketed with a billy goat given the German translation of Bock is, in fact, billy goat. However, we must also recognize that Bock is the sound chickens make while GOAT has come to mean Greatest Of All Time in contemporary vernacular. Understanding these new connotations, we opted to modernize these associations for the American market in our Animal Lager Series. And speaking of "Goat"... Our next Animal Lager Series release will be announced soon and we can assure you of this--it's not a Bock 🐐 Label art by @spicymustarddesigns 🐔 . . . #mytruerespite #BeTheKey #mdbeer #marylandmade #mocomade #RockEastDistrict #visitmoco #visitmocoeats #chickenbock #bock #bockbeer #chicken (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/ConYiXRusK1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Valentine's Beer Dinner with @beltway_bistro last night! We enjoyed a four course meal with each course paired with an 8oz pour of one of our beers. Chef James outdid himself teasing stronger flavors out of our palates as we cruised through all 4 pairings, sharing the history of the beer names, styles, and more along the way. Culinary pairings have become a real passion of ours as we continue to explore how beer and food can accentuate one another and both change and amplify flavor. If you're interested to participate, check out our monthly chocolate and beer pairings with @the_chocolatiers_palette (link in bio!) . . . #BeTheKey #mytruerespite #foodandbeer #beerdinner #valentinesday (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CokjQB7O7K4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RELEASING TOMORROW: "Big Ol' Chocolate Fudge Stout" Imperial Milk Stout (14.0%) brewed in collaboration w/ @the_chocolatiers_palette 💝 This. Stout. Is. H U G E. We've heard you loud and clear as you've asked for a "motor oil" stout as thick and viscous as it is sweet and rich. This behemoth delivers in spades. Inspired by Jill's world class chocolate fudge, this stout pours dark and sticky straight out of the can. Layers of milk chocolate and Belgian fudge ripple through this divine liquid, lighting up the sweet tooths of beer and chocolate lovers alike. What's most remarkable is the balance somehow struck between sweet chocolate and caramel layers of this stout with the roast found in darker chocolates and coffee. In sum, this beer drinks like Jill herself just shoved an entire tray of delicious, homemade Belgian fudge into the can. It's available for pre-sale now on @biermiplease (link in bio!) It drops in the tap room and throughout our @truerespite_distro footprint tomorrow! *CONTAINS LACTOSE* Label art by @craftedcrane 🍻 . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #bigolchocolatefudgestout #collab #fudge #chocolate (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYWUReuqfG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
