THE BEER FARMERS - Draft Horse Pale Ale

-

Available at the brewery and select local restaurant­s

About as classic as it gets for craft beer — the American Pale Ale is one of the styles that has defined craft beer from the early years. On the eve of our first-ever brew at our family farm brewery, we sat around enjoying a few examples of this famous style. Inspiratio­n struck and the next day, we completely re-wrote the recipe just an hour before brewing it, and it has been one of our favourite brews ever since. The simple 5.5% abv. ale is bolstered by several additions of Cascade hops that are grown right down the road from our farm. Easy drinking, flavourful, nuanced, crisp… the list goes on. Although American Pale Ales have perhaps been relegated to second-tier status in the current climate of hazy IPAs and fruited sours, this brewery favourite is a beer that we will never stop brewing at the Beer Farmers.

Vital stats: 5.5% alc./vol.
