Ballast Point Even Keel
Our Even Keel is a hoppy ale designed for smooth sailing. A full-flavored beer with a silky malt backbone and a bright hop profile of herbs and citrus, it packs all the taste of an IPA in a sessionable alcohol content.
Another beer style that started in England, the America Pale Ale can best be thought of as a slightly less hoppy version of an American IPA. Since there are many variations in both of these beer styles, however, the distinction is fuzzy at best.
Ranging in color from a pale gold to copper-colored, this style usually features a medium malt profile - usually with bready or toasty flavors, instead of sweeter malt flavors - that then develops into more IPA-like hop flavors. Like the American IPA, the hops in an American Pale Ale are usually grown in America, and generally have fruity, floral, piney, and citrus flavors. Whereas hop flavors are important in the American IPA, the APA should provide a nice balance of malts, hops, and bitterness - a good beer style to experiment with hop flavors.
Best served cool, at 46-54 degrees in a pint glass, tumbler, or beer mug.

We took our original brew — DogTown Pale Ale — and hybridized it with the Kill Ugly Radio, a 22oz seasonal we released commemorating the 40th anniversary of the release of Frank Zappa’s second album.
Our Dry Hopped American Pale Ale (APA) is charged with American hops to create a bold, aromatic ale. Assertive hop flavor joins the pine/citrus aroma characteristic of American hops to balance the full body provided by North American malts.
To label a beer as extraordinary is to trust its ingredients from the start. Crystal filtered artesian water, whole hops, and the choicest malted barley create this American-style pale ale we are pleased to call PMX.
Beer is made by creating a liquid rich with fermentable material. This ‘wort’ is moved to a fermentation vessel where yeast, a living organism, is added. Yeast swims around the fermenter gobbling up the soluble sugar and converting that energy into alcohol.
Perhaps you heard of a worldwide beer-movement that tributes favorite hipster neighbourhoods across the globe. If you feel excluded because you’re hip but your city is not, this cutting-edge, ‘hip without border’ pale ale is an homage to you - the global hipster. Cheers!
