Abolitionist Ale Works is a Charles Town brewery that pays tribute to the region’s long history of insurrectionists, which dates back to famous slave revolts during the American Civil War. The brewery strives to challenge the status quo of the craft beer industry with unique, flavorful ales that abolish the mundane. Brews on tap at its tap room include its Alpha Mayle IPA, Wild Wit Wedding, Strawberry Lavender Sour, Treason Brown Ale, and Pale the Funky Hombre tequila-barrel-aged farmhouse ale. Guest taps are also available, along with a variety of bar appetizers and pub fare entrees such as personal pizzas and burgers. Live music performances are presented periodically as part of the brewery’s Abolitionist Live Fridays series.
