Red Beard’s

Our red ale is a cross between a NW Pale Ale and an India Pale Ale. The dark amber brew uses a variety of malts to create a full bodied ale, and generous additions of hops impart abundant hop character.

Sorry, not available.

Hop character is fresh and lively from utilization of any variety of hops. The intention of these Pale Ale styles is to exhibit the fresh and bright character of each of the hops.
