Brickyard Brewing Launches New Pale Ale Series, Weekly Cask Program
Brickyard Brewing has launched a new beer series entitled Ahab’s Voyages, created by Head Brewer John Paul Meeter as he seeks to rediscover a lost pale ale homebrew recipe of his. The first installment is Ahab’s Ale (Voyage I), an American Pale that features Citra, Cascade and Mosaic hops, that balances flavors of pithy citrus, fleshy fruit, and dankness. The brewery is also launching a new weekly cask series, Firkin Fridays, which kicks off on January 25 (4pm). Up first will be the return of Taco Tuesday White Bronco, our house favorite with Lime, Jalapeño and Cilantro in the cask.
