ABV: 4.9%

IBU: 30

Tasting notes: We used 5 malt and five hop varieties from Europe and North America to give Conductor’s a biscuity, toasted, caramel base, and a dry and bitter taste with a light bitter finish. Floral and citrus notes come from our hopback mechanism that infuses the hop aromas into the beer in line from the kettle as the beer goes into the fermenter. Conductor’s Craft Ale is inspired by traditional ales that ‘traveled well’ when life was more about the journey than the destination.

Paring notes: Enjoy with sharp cheeses, grilled meats, Pan-Asian cuisine, spicy foods.

Engineer’s is an ale that’s been built to stand the test of time, whether exploring by rail or on the open sea.

Paring notes: Enjoy with aged Farmhouse Cheddar or Jalapeño Havarti, Texas chilli, BBQ Ribs
