Visitors to Monticello can soon have a pint like a president.

The former Jefferson home is working with Starr Hill Brewery to make a light, hoppy beer similar to what the estate produced when Jefferson lived in the Charlottesville residence. Monticello Reserve Ale premieres Feb. 21 at the Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center.

Starr Hill has produced five national award-winning beers since it opened in 1999.
