Common descriptors are
Avondale Brewing Company’s historic building was once a watering hole known as the Long Branch Saloon. A favorite spot for locals and travelers alike, the Long Branch Saloon saw it’s share of friendly drinkers and poker games as well as a few gristly shootouts.

The Long Branch Scottish is an Americanized 80 Shilling Scottish Ale. The appearance is a slightly dark shade of brown and the nose is filled with roasted and bready malt. This brew is malt forward with dominate caramel notes backed by a light hop bitterness. A very clean, crisp malt character that leaves hints of roast and smoke that dissipates to a very clean and enjoyable finish.
