THE RHINEGEIST VIRGINIA LAUNCH PARTY: TASTE 6 DRAFTS FROM CINCINNATI'S FINEST
Friday, July 31st | 5:00 PM - Close

On Friday, July 31st, Rustico will celebrate the debut of Rhinegeist Brewery in Virginia with a launch party! For this momentous occasion, we will pour 6 drafts from this renowned brewery from Cincinnati, Ohio!

Founded in 2013 by Bob Bonder and Bryant Goulding, Rhinegeist Brewing has become one of the defining breweries of Ohio’s modern craft b**r renaissance. The company takes its name from the city's historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati and the German word Geist ("ghost" or "spirit"), paying tribute to the city’s rich 19th-century German brewing heritage. For years, they limited distribution to mostly Ohio itself, but it’s grown into a regional powerhouse.

Don’t miss your chance to try this special lineup of b**rs -- including 4 versions of their flagship Truth IPA, and a popular grapefruit variant of their Bubbles sour ale!
There is no admission fee for this event. All featured b**rs will be available a la carte.

THE FEATURED B**R LIST
Grapefruit Bubbles (Fruited Sour Ale w/ Apple & Grapefruit)
Half Truth (American Session IPA)
House Cat (German Pilsner)
Truth (Hazy IPA W/ Centennial, Citra, Amarillo & Simcoe)
Truth Bomb (American Double IPA w/ Alora, Mosaic, Simcoe & Talus)
Truthadelic (Hazy Double IPA)
