Old Tankard Ale was America’s number two selling American Ale behind another PBC legacy brand, Ballantine, throughout the 1930’s, 40’s & 50’s. Utilizing the original Brewer’s Log recipe from 1937, this historic American Ale will be sure to satisfy today’s Craft centric millennial consumer. Brewed with 2-row, imported Cara-Munich and Cara-Aroma malts with Nugget, Liberty, Willamette and Cascade hops, this classic American Ale exhibits the fruitiness and maltiness of an extra special bitter. As the famous Swashbuckler icon on every package demonstrates, raise your tankard and celebrate the return of a Classic American Ale, Old Tankard Ale.

Many many cans thanks to joet. Poured a fizzy golden amber color with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma was light caramel malts, sweet malty notes. Flavor was okay, a touch metallic, chemical. Better than other Pabst beers. Did not drink in a tankard. Maybe that was the problem.
