We’re making a small, but meaningful change to a classic. Our beloved beer, one of the first ever brewed here, is officially changing its name from Rollin’ Dirty to Rollin’ Derby. This refreshed name is a subtle nod to a special member of the Florida Avenue family, ensuring the legacy of this original brew rolls forward.
Come along for a sweet ride with this malt-forward amber ale. Notes of caramel and toffee are balanced with a mild floral hop finish.

Nice, a very Britishy-American red ale. Biscuit malts hint at caramel just a touch but the beer leans dry to semi-dry, with a nice herbal bitter finish, they report using EKG and Pahto hops. I'm not too familiar with the latter but I understand its a bittering hop so the flavors here lean hard into EKG and that's pretty cool, its been awhile! I can just barely get them in the nose too, lightly herbal and earthy to go with light caramel and dough. I can't quite pin down the fermentation profile here, its mostly pretty clean, maybe just a tiny bit of ester. Real easy drinking. Summary: dry bitter profile with biscuity malts and British hops. Nice dark red to copper color.
