Tried this last week, I’ll admit I’m a bit of a sucker for their marketing. All that aside, I really enjoyed the beer. Initial hit of the hops faded quickly to what reminded us of a marzen. A really nice alternative to the Guinness family for St. Patrick’s.
Here’s hoping Fado puts in on tap at the draft truck for St Paddy’s
