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?

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House when I stopped on the way to Dark Lord Day. Pours clear dark brown with a fleeting tan head. Mild sweet malt and alcohol make up the aroma. A light palate that delivers a malt forward flavor profile.

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House when I stopped on the way to Dark Lord Day. A persistent, tight white head forms easily over this clear, medium dark amber brew. The aroma showcases some flowery hops and supportive malt. Well balanced betweent he malt sweetness and the hop bitterness, with the hop bitterness lingering into the finish. A bit thin, but an easy drinker nevertheless.

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House when I stopped on the way to Dark Lord Day. This pours with a very clear gold body under a thin white head. Malt dominates the aroma. The flavor is slightly bitter with a good support from the malt. Soft carbonation, easy drinking.

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House when I stopped on the way to Dark Lord Day. Pours fairly clear gold with a persistent off-white head. The aroma has plenty of malt and citrus hops. A dry bittereness leads off for the flavor profile and is quickly followed by some maltiness. Well balanced and not too over the top. A good easy-drinking beer, especially for someone just becoming initiated into the realm of craft beer.
