Description
It started on Plaza Drive in New Albany, Indiana, with Sportstime Pizza in 1987 (now the NABC Pizzeria), followed by Rich O’s (NABC Public House) in 1990, the incorporation of the New Albanian Brewing Company in 1994 and the launch of the original New Albanian Brewery in 2002 (the first commercial brewery in New Albany since 1935). The Pizzeria & Public House are still going strong.

In New Albania, beer is a way of life. NABC stands for a quarter-century of experience, education, recognition and success. Not only that, but our machines kill fascists, too.

Now more than ever before, we ask: Can your beer do that?

Aroma has notes of bitter orange and a bit of rye/grains with a good amount of barrel. Flavor has more rye with the barrel presence in the finish and a note of bitter orange peel.

Tap at source. Citronella, rose and light agave aroma. Amber color with no head. Lemon peel and rose flavor. Light body. Strongly floral. A different beer - hard to categorize. Unique to say the least - in the same vein as their Kentucky Kommon and Strathpeffer beers.

Draft. Cloudy light amber body with a minimal, fizzy, off-white head. Aroma of spice, especially clove with notes of cinnamon and cardamom. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture turning sticky in the finish, lively carbonation. The spice is overstated and tastes infused. Overly sweet for a saison. No subtlety or delicacy here.
