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?

Draft at NA. Hazy orange tan. Big fluffy off white head. Toasty orange aroma. Resiny, solid hop bill. Excellent balance, hits the spot. I do detect some underlying ringwoody diacetyl tones, but they work here. Toasty caramel. OK, leans toward APA in it’s earthiness.
