We’ve finalized a new Black Ale for Half Acre.
We can all sit on sun drenched patios and freely spill speed beer down our throats till paid transportation takes us home. You want to squirrel away a couple x-tra pales and head to yoga? No problem, Namaste.
But, there are times when fleshy black beer is the only thing that offers the necessary weight. Visiting your uncle’s machine shop to thread some pipe before hitting a dirt track sprint car race….? You might want to digest some Lead Feather Black Ale.
The might of big malts and rival hop use give Lead Feather capital dark properties. 6% ABV gives you time, but not at the expense of content.
Lead Feather Black Ale will live in the line up all year. You’ll find it on draft right now in our Tap Room and soon in bars around town. Come March, we’ll load it into our favorite 16 ounce aluminum vessel.
Find one and work it into your life.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on a Sunday afternoon while watching early season baseball. Appearance is a very dark brown / black with a pronounced light tan head that laces to the glass. Aroma of chocolate, cocoa, bit of coffee. Taste is dominated by cocoa / dark roast coffee, light smoke, overall I think it’s pretty good.
