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?

Growler. Caramel malt and fruity/grape aroma. Copper with a large off white head. Sweet malt with a mild fruity acidic flavor. A little thin, but it seems to work with this brew.

Bottle thanks Josh! Pours a caramel amber with an off-white head that lasts throughout the bee and laces nicely. Aroma has some light pine hop with a bit of resin and caramel and sweet grains underlying. Flavor begins sweet with caramel and cereal that is joined by a resinous pine hop.

Tap (2012 Version - 6.4% alcohol). Chocolate and light molasses malt - very nice. Dark chestnut brown color with moderate head and nice lacing. Lightly sweet molasses and chocolate malt flavor with a lightly bitter herbal hops finish. This is some great stuff - a bit light but very tasty.
