In collaboration with @waldmannbrewery we`ve brewed a `historic` version of our Irish Red Ale.
Prior to the Free Mash-Tun Act of 1880, brewers were required to pay tax on malted barley, so Irish brewers used roasted barley which gave their beer it`s red color, and avoided the English tax. We explored some of the old brewing methods in this small-batch and the results are fantastic.
If you`re interested, stop in soon so you don`t miss it.
