An easy-drinking American Blonde beer, the grist bill includes a healthy dose of oats and wheat. Light in body, this beer is the perfect finish to any day’s activity. 5.5% ABV. Hare hunting is a popular activity in West Virginia. While hare hunting, one could be lucky to stumble on a lot of ’hot tracks’, or unlucky with only ’cold tracks’ - tracks in the snow made by rabbits who passed through a few days earlier. There’s not much to do when there are only ’cold tracks’ being found, except drink a delicious American Blonde ale, hence the name Cold Trail Ale. The picture on the tap handle is of a bear claw hunted by one of Brian and Willie’s friend.
