Notes

Here is a homebrew version of the Colonial Ale. Annandale has a huge 4th of July celebration each year (town festival) that has been running since 1889 so we brew this each year. Essentially, we wanted to try to recreate something that would have been brewed back in colonial times using malt types and ingredients they had. We use "low" malt (imported English Maris Otter, as they would have done) and "high" malt (higher color or darker malt that they would have roasted) along with molasses, flaked corn, etc. Imported English hops and yeast round out the beer since that is also what they would have imported.

It is a unique beer because it looks dark and aggressive, but it drinks very light due to the molasses and flaked corn that thin out the body.
