Dedicated to Crustaceans
The name sort of says it all. John Maier, our Brewmaster, wanted to create a beer that defied traditional style definitions. The result was a remarkably hoppy yet balanced and malty ale that quickly became a cult favorite in our Newport brewpub. But what was it? It was not quite a barley wine and not quite a double or imperial IPA. Who really cares about putting beers into narrow categories? Great beer is great beer - just drink it and enjoy! 24°P. 8 Ingredients: Weyermann & Bohemian Malts; Bravo, Amarillo, Falconer's FLight & Warrior Hops; Free Range Coastal Water & Pacman Yeast.
