Silver Medal Winner at the G.A.B.F in 2000 and Bronze in 2008. This Beer style was engineered to be sent to the British troops occupying India in the late 1700's. To help the beers survive the 3-month ocean voyage, the brewers increased the alcohol content and added large quantities of hops. Hops act as a natural preservative and adds a strong bitter flavor. We believe any Hophead will love this offering, great with our hot wings.
