Tasting Event
July 4th - 11AM -3PM
One of our great Founding Fathers George Washington was a Scotsman, let's celebrate it!
Come taste our newest offering, the Ola Dubh series from one our favorite breweries out of Scotland, Harviestoun Brewery. We will be tasting the 18- and 30-year-old barrel-aged gems.
Ola Dubh (“black oil”) is a rich, barrel‑aged stout from Scotland’s Harviestoun Brewery. It starts with their Old Engine Oil stout, then ages in Highland Park whisky casks, picking up layers of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, dried fruit, oak, and gentle peat smoke.
Harviestoun, founded in 1983, is known for small‑batch, characterful beers, and Ola Dubh is one of their most sought‑after releases for fans of whisky‑kissed dark ales.
