Big Mountain Ale is a balanced, malt-forward ale inspired by our Brewmaster Zach’s first homebrew, a recipe with over 20 years of staying power.
- Rich malt flavor from Bewitched Amber Ale and Golden LME gives this beer a smooth, satisfying backbone.
- Carapils Malt adds body and helps create a fuller mouthfeel without making the beer too heavy.
- Fuggle, Northern Brewer, and Cluster hops bring earthy, herbal, and lightly floral hop aroma with balanced bitterness.
- Bold 6.38% ABV gives this all-year ale a little extra strength while staying smooth and drinkable.
Full of malt character, balanced hop aroma, and classic homebrew charm, Big Mountain Ale is the kind of beer worth raising a glass to.
