Our take on an Irish red ale. A mix of pale malt and wonderfully fresh Gladfield specialty malts, combined with Goldings Hops and fermented with an English ale yeast results in malty complexity with a touch of fruity esters and a classic English hop flavour.

A beer made to drink by the pint.

ABV: 4.9%

This is our take on the beer that is was leading the way for the craft beer revolution as we know it today: The iconic Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

We've substituted in local malt and some local hops without changing the great balance and drink-ability this beer is known for - mainly because we believe craft is also about using local!
It doesn't get more local than brewing it yourself, right?

ABV: 5.4%
