SURREY, BC – Russell Brewing has announced the release of a new beer that is loosely inspired by the ancient days of brewing.
Red Ale (5.2% abv):
Humankind’s first liquid resembling beer was produced in Ancient Egypt, made of grains such as spelt and emmer, and fermentable additions could include honey and crushed dates, to create this Elixir of the Gods. The preferred brews were red in colour and were packaged into potted beer jars. Well…. modern times call for modern ingredients…. so we didn’t use any of that. We chose instead some fine toasted and caramel malts, new-age hops, and a clean yeast profile in this brew. And while it may not perfectly resemble the beverage of millennia ago, it is still just as divine.
Red Ale is available now at the Russell Brewing taproom, retail store, and online shop, and at select beer retailers in British Columbia.
