Our Anniversary Beer has officially dropped!
Dan has brewed a celebratory "Irish Mild" a traditional, low-alcohol session ale (4.7% ABV) and celebrated for its exceptional balance and slightly malt-forward flavor. It`s amber in color and features subtle notes of caramel and toffee and very low hop bitterness.
The name "mild" originated in the 17th-century as a way to distinguish fresh, young ales from stale or aged ales. By the 20th century Mild Ales had become the beer of choice for the working class.
It`s a small-batch Taproom-only brew, so don`t delay your visit.
