Step 1

Old Dominion Brewing Company brews its beer with water from Goose Creek, a part of the Loudon County, Virginia, water system. The water is great for brewing because it does not contain high levels of iron, copper, or nitrates. The chlorine in the water is eliminated when the water is boiled.

Malted barley is added to the water, then heated in the Mash Kettle. This converts the carbohydrates in the grain into sugars. The sugars are extracted from the grain mixture in the Lauter Tun. This liquid is called Wort and is pumped into the Brew Kettle where it is boiled for ninety minutes. Hops are added during and at the end of the boil.The Wort is allowed to cool and then is pumped into the Fermenting Tanks.

Coastal Brewing Company has decided to close the Old Dominion Brewpub
in Ashburn, VA, which the company acquired in 2007 with the acquisition of
Virginia-based craft brewer Old Dominion Brewing Company. 
The brewpub closing is effective August 25, 2008.

The closing of the brewpub will allow Old Dominion Brewing Company to focus on
its primary objective - producing authentic, high-quality craft beers and sodas.
This decision will have no impact on other operations of Coastal Brewing Company.
Brands under both the Old Dominion and Fordham names will continue
to be distributed and marketed along the east coast of the U.S. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you.
