The American Strong Ale is a catch-all style for beers that don't fit within a preexisting category and also have an ABV of 7% or more.
Appearance can vary greatly, but most fall between a light amber and a medium to dark brown. The type of malts and hops used in this style can vary greatly, but one thing is for sure - this beer will not be subtle. With ABV reaching around 20% in the upper range, the malt and hops used to balance the ethanol flavors are going to be intense and complex. Most beers of this style are special releases or seasonal - so be sure to keep an eye out for them when shopping!
Serving temperatures vary widely, but usually either cool (46-54 degrees) or warm (58-61 degrees) is a safe bet. Best served in a beer snifter, a stemmed tulip glass, or even a large wine glass.
Kentucky Peach Barrel Wheat Ale is a light, crisp ale perfect for lazy, sun-drenched summer days. Images of your real (or fanciful) old Kentucky home in bourbon country are conjured up with every sip, thanks to the brew’s six-week aging period in fresh Kentucky bourbon barrels.
Our Angel’s Share is a barrel aged burgundy colored ale infused with copious amounts of dark caramel malt to emphasize the vanilla and oak flavors found in freshly emptied bourbon or brandy barrels. Each batch spends no less than 12 months aging in the oak.
Fred was created to honor beer writer and historian Fred Eckhardt. Fred is a big inspiration for me and many other brewers. Fred's work in all-grain brewing and beer styles helped me become a better brewer. Fred the beer is a deep golden color.
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.
