  • A step above mass produced lager beers, Legend Lager offers the comfort of easy drinkability while also bringing a depth of flavor due to our use of 100% barley malt, yeilding a pure, bright malt flavor and a medium body. Modest hopping and cool fermentation temperatures make for a smooth character and a clean finish. 4.8% Alc. By Vol.
  • Legend Bohemian style Pilsner starts with a rich gold color and a firm malt background. A substantial body yields to a finish that is dry and crisp. Floral/spicy hop flavors are evident throughout. This beer is a bit of a more aggressive version of our Lager, still smooth and malty, but stronger and packing a bit more of a hop bite. 6.0% abv.
  • Our most popular beer, Legend's is a full bodied version of a British Brown Ale. Expect a rich, malt-forward brew with a beautiful mahogany tone. Generous amounts of specialty malts bring flavors of sweet caramel, toasted nuts, coffee, and molasses, all perfectly balanced by a steady but cautious hop dryness. Fruity undertones provided by our house yeast strain bring the final flavor element to round out this world class ale. 5.8% Alc. By Vol.

  • Rich, roasty, and loaded with chocolate and coffee flavors, this sweet black ale is robust and full bodied. This beer is an excellent pair to most any meal, especially meat dishes and desserts, or it can serve as a meal itself. A unique brewing practice allows us to achieve a remarkable flavor profile. Descriptors include the already mentioned chocolate, coffee, as well as raisin, caramel, sour fruit, and candy (Tootsie Roll)! 5.8% abv.
  • In the image of an English IPA, Legend Golden is a big, full-bodied brew with the perfect balance between malty sweetness and hop bitterness. Years ago, as an experimental brew, this underdog of a beer found its way into the hearts of Legend patrons and became a cult classic in Richmond. Legend Golden has been described as a "high class malt liquor" by a notable source. This strong ale sports a rich gold color, an aroma of sweet malt and clean hops, and an earthy, fruity flavor. 7.6% Alc. By Vol.
  • Our American style Pale Ale is a hop lover's dream. We craft this copper colored ale to supply a moderate bitterness and an aggressive hop flavor and aroma. Columbus hops pitched early in the boil give a clean, soft bitterness. Late kettle hops include Northern Brewer, Simcoe, and Chinook for plenty of pungent pine and citrus character. Judicious amounts of four specialty malts add counter and depth. Expect a medium bodied brew with an assertive, complex flavor and a dry finish. 5.5% Alc. By Vol.

  • The newest addition to our year round line, Legend Hopfest begins with a sturdy barley malt background including Munich and aromatic malts, as well as a few medium kilned malts producing a rich , deep orange colored beer. Step two, the hops; Hopfest sports a distinct pine/fruit aroma. Expect an intensely flavored brew, with hop flavor lasting throughout. There is a toasty, earthy background, adding a rich, malty dimension to the long finish. The end result is a full flavored IPA with a strong malt backbone and long satisfying hop finish. ABV 6.5%
  • Pouring a vibrant pale orange, this traditional French/Belgian farmhouse ale is sturdy yet sessionable at 6.5% alc. by vol. Yeast derived fruity and spicy (citrus, pepper) aromas are layered on a soft malt canvas. Moderate levels of herbal, spicy noble hops add complexity. The finish is tart, dry and quenching.

Seasonal Beers


  • This beer's unusual name comes from the German "weiss" (wheat), and "hefe" (yeast). Therefore, a hefeweizen is an unfiltered wheat beer. Weizen beers are something of an anomaly among German beers, as they are fermented on ale yeast whereas virtually all other beers from this country are lagers.The yeast strain dominates the aroma and flavor profile in this brew. If you suspect we added banana and clove to the beer, you are simply picking up qualities of this wonderful yeast. Our Hefeweizen is mashed with a 50/50 blend of wheat malt and barley malt. The wheat portion of the mash is responsible for keeping the flavor crisp and the body light. Hallertau and Sterling hops are used minimally for balance and another dimension of spice. Expect an intense aroma of fruit (banana, apricot, citrus), and spice (clove, pepper). The initial flavor is sharp and tart, yeilding to a malty sweetness in the middle. The finish is effervescent, dry, and quenching. Legend Hefeweizen is the perfect match for light summer fare including salads, seafood, and grilled meats. Available on draft and in 22 oz. bottles all summer. 5% Alc. By Vol.
  • The berry esters come to the forefront as you initially sip this beautiful deep golden lager. While enjoying the rest of the experience you will see some wonderful malt overtones with a mild balance of hops that finishes off dry with you wanting more. The Maibock while being extraordinarily flavorful has stayed true to its heritage. It has nice tight CO2 bubbles and a beautiful white head. Come enjoy Legend’s amazing spring seasonal.
  • Six Months of aging brings a soft smoothness to this sweet, complex ale. The result is a “sipping beer” that doesn’t seem like one. By this we mean that Legend Tripel is a deceptively strong beer to be shared with friends and family in celebration and moderation. Legend Tripel is brewed on a Belgian abbey style yeast strain which imparts combinations including banana, clove, apple, pear, even bubblegum. Serve with mild cheeses, roasted pork or turkey. 8.7%Alc. by Vol.
