Legend Brewing Co

Legend Brewing Company is a commercial microbrewery providing true premium beers to many of the best pubs and restaurants in Richmond and other areas of Virginia since January, 1994. Our mission is to bring to our customers the finest and freshest brews as flavorful alternatives to mass-marketed mainstream products. We're one of the few craft breweries in this region producing both lagers and ales, which require different yeasts and maturation conditions. All Legend beers are unpasteurized and made from only two-row and specialty barley malt, hops, water and yeast.

Brown Ale
 - Our most popular beer at Legend is our Brown Ale. A style with the origins predating modern brewing practices, the brewing of Brown Ale as we know it began in 1927 in Newcastle, England. This version was paler and dryer than previous brown ales to compete with the popular pale ales of Burton, England. Our full-bodied version of a Brown Ale is brewed with Caramel and Roasted malts and hopped for balance with Tettnang and Mt. Hood. 6.0% ABV.

Porter
 - Our darkest year-round brew is Porter. A style originating in London in 1722, porter was extinct in Britain by the late 1970's. Originally a beer meant to simulate the common practice of combining three different strength beers (known as an entire), porter gave way to Stout Porter (now known as Stout). Our Porter is rich, roasty and loaded with chocolate and coffee flavors. This sweet black ale is a robust full-bodied brew. Alcohol is 6% by volume.

Golden Ale
 - This is a full bodied, deep golden beer with a perfect balance between malty sweetness and hop bitterness. A Legend cult classic, this big beer comes in at 7% ABV

Pilsner
 - Pilsner is the most imitated style of beer in the world. Prior to the 1840's all beers were dark and cloudy. In 1842 a new brewery in Pilsen, Bohemia introduced a brew that was golden and clear. Our version has a deep gold color, firm malt background, but the emphasis of the Pilsner is the assertive hopping with hallertau, tettnang and Czech Saaz. It is dry hopped for additional aroma. 5.8% ABV, 40 International Bitterness Units

Pale Ale
 - The newest addition to our year round line. Our Pale Ale has a medium body, is orange to copper in color with a firm malt background, and emphasis on the hops with substantial hop flavor and a huge hop aroma.
