Short's Brewing Company News: The Grass River Natural Ale

Grass River Natural Ale bottle labelSometime this month we will be selling 6 packs of the Grass River Natural Ale. This is an India Pale Ale brewed with organic 2 row malt providing a simple, but full body to bounce the hops off of.  It’s hopped with organic Challenger, Goldings and New Zeeland Pacific Gem varieties. We fermented this classic ale with our award winning English Ale strain. The finished product is a hazed, light golden delicacy. The hop use is thorough providing a refreshing bitterness with just enough bite. It balances well on the palate, and finishes slightly dry and earthy with a spicy, mint-spruce like essence notable from the Pacific Gem hops. The profits from this beer will be donated to the Grass River Natural Area. The GNRA is not only a great place to recreate; it’s a priceless and sacred wetland we all have the responsibility to care for. Learn more about the Grass River Natural Area.
