New Half Acre Bottles: “The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game”

Half Acre changes the game with this release. The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game is a smoked spiced ale, worthy of winter drinking.

Such a story, not to mention the song by the same name, was part of the inspiration for The Hunter gets Captured by the Game. For the brew, we blended smoked malts with caraway, laurel, and rosemary for an aromatic feast of a 5.5% ABV ale. The end result is herb-heavy, in both the nose and taste. This complex, herbivore of a beer heads your way in a few short days, and pairs great with food of all sorts.

Style: Herb/Spice Beer (Smoked)Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: 1/25/13 (Tap Room Release)

5.5% ABV

Prehistoric Half Acre Bones & All Hits 1/16

On January 16th, Half Acre Beer Co (Chicago, IL) releases Bones & All Belgian Brown Ale. As giddy as this beer would back Ross Gellar, New York City is a little far away. He should try it though, it’s described as pretty darn good.

We’re dipping our toes into the waters of Belgium with Bones & All. Our first foray into the style in quite awhile, we are quite excited to offer you this 5.4% ABV Belgian Brown Ale. Brewer Michael Carroll, our expert on all things Belgian style, gave the beer a glowing endorsement, calling it “pretty darn good”. Brewer Matt Young echoes this sentiment, calling Bones & All “well-balanced” and “very good”. So there you go. Two positive reviews from two dudes who know their beers.
