George Washington's Mount Vernon is releasing its first 18th century-inspired beer. The first two releases are Mount Vernon Virginia's Porter and Mount Vernon Rye Cask Aged Porter.
Mount Vernon has partnered with Dynasty Brewing of Ashburn, Virginia to bring George Washington's favorite beverages back to his home.
Mount Vernon Virginia's Porter was inspired by George Washington's love of porter. A rich and creamy dark ale with notes of chocolate and dark roast coffee, it's brewed with barley malt grown in Washington's native Virginia. Mount Vernon Rye Cask Aged Porter is a limited-edition beer, aged in barrels previously used for whiskey production at Mount Vernon's Distillery.
The two porter varieties debut the new line of Mount Vernon beers and are available for sale now at Mount Vernon Estate. Starting in March 2022, there will be regular new releases of seasonal beers inspired by and named for George Washington's famed Rules of Civility.
