A Tour Of Yards Brewing Company
Last week I was able to take a tour of the Yards Brewery to see their brewing operation as well as their recently opened on-premise bar/lounge area. Looking to get the full experience, I ordered the two different flights they offer - the Revolutionary flight and the Core Ales flight. Each flight offers a spread of 4 small samples so you can try all of their beers without getting too rowdy. In addition to tasting all beers available at the brewery, they typically have a selection of breads made by Wild Flour Bakery. Yards and Wild Flour Bakery have collaborated to make a variety of breads using spent grains from various beers at Yards. I was able to do a flight of the Thomas Jefferson Tavern Ale, General Washinton’s Porter, Poor Richard’s Spruce Ale, and the Extra Special Ale paired with 4 breads made from the spent grains from each of those four beers. It was pretty unique enjoying the various grains in beer and bread form at the same time. Check out this picture of the pairing:
