Butchertown Black Ale

Butchertown Black Ale celebrates the long-forgotten neighborhood of San Francisco, Butchertown, where our brewery stands today. The nearby creek was once the home to over 16 slaughterhouses and was a thriving neighborhood till shipbuilding took over the waterfront in the 1930's run up to WWII. Butchertown pouts dark as a moonless sky, but with a deceivingly light body and a bold dry-hopping regiment more akin to an IPA. Dank, resinous aromas of tangerine and grapefruit, raise from the glass along with notes of lightly roasted coffee. Malt complexity stands strong in the background with intricacies of dark toasted bread, pumpernickel, and spice. Show Less
