Last Friday evening I visited
Midnight Brewery, a new brewery tucked away in the Goochland County Industrial
Park, near I-64 exit 173 in Rockville. Smaller than a
microbrewery, Midnight is considered a nanobrewery and uses a 3 barrel
system to produce its beers. Owner Trae
Cairns currently offers two beers: an
Irish Red and a Kolsch-style ale called New Beginnings. (He was out of the special Banana Pancake
collaboration with Hardywood). I sampled
both. The Kolsch was nice and crisp – a
good summer time beer. But I really
liked the Irish Red - which Cairn calls the Rockville Red - it one-ups
Smithwick’s!
There’s a tasting room in the front
office of Midnight Brewery’s 1,200 square foot warehouse, where you can also
have growlers filled! The brewery is a
little hard to find, but once you turn on Granite Ridge Road it’ll be a short
ways down on the right, in what looks like an office building. Check Midnight’s Facebook page for tasting room
hours.
