Fullsteam Gears Up For Cack-A-Lacky Cans

Fullsteam Cack-a-Lacky

Fullsteam Brewery will soon be taking year round offering Cack-A-Lacky to cans.  The ginger pale was first launched on tap in January of this year. This described “refreshing, hoppy, and zippy” pale ale is brewed in partnership with Cackalacky  Hot Sauces out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Fullsteam has some high hopes for this beer. The brewery hopes Cack-A-Lacky will soon become a nationally known beer. This “southern” pale ale uses both fresh and candied ginger for it’s unique flavor. If you currently have Fullsteam on tap in your hood, you might have Cack-A-Lacky now. Soon you will take some home in cans.

Style: Pale Ale (w/ Ginger)
Availability: Draft, 12oz Cans (Soon)

?? ABV

Note: CACKALACKYâ„¢ contains none of the “famously original” extraordinary spiced condiment made from sweet potatoes created a decade ago and still produced in Chapel Hill. (True, and funny.)
