This German community thrived in an area that was unacceptable to most people of the day. Nearby tanneries used for processing leather for the many buggy manufacturer's in the area created a very unpleasant odor that lasted year round. The Scioto River had become a dumping ground and during the dry days of summer, the stagnated water made the area almost uninhabitable. But the industrious Germans made the best of a bad situation. One of those things was brewing beer. The Germans living on The Old South End built great breweries and the area thrived for many years. ~
It's a more heavily hopped version of their India Pale Ale, Brando.
I'm currently taste-testing it against the Dead Guy from Rogue. (I did taste test Dead Guy versus regular Sierra Pale Ale and was in favor of regular Sierra, but these things need to be done with a lot of care and repetition. *hic*)
P.S. The Torpedo is 7.2% Al'Qaehol versus Dead Guy at 6.6%. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
