Notes

Born on 3/17/25. Dry hop on 3/29/25.

Cold CRASH and then Keg on April 1, 2025 (the day before Liberation Day).

Yes, the market will CRASH due to misreading the tariff strategy.

Be patient; by the time this ale is mature, the market will have rebounded and will be on its way to new heights!

MAKE AMERICA STRONG ALE is a reflection of Trump's strong policies and his desire to Make America Great Again.

Oh, and it is DELICIOUS as well!
