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. Clear golden body with a frothy white head, rapidly diminishing. Classic aroma of banana, clove, toasted grain, though all are light. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Thin to medium body, watery/sticky texture, lively carbonation. Grainy aftertaste and a bit of plastic/chemical.

Growler: Slightly hazy amber with a small, off-white head. Caramel malt aroma and flavour..... I almost get something like nutmeg or a similar spice running through it in taste and scent.... Sort of Marzen-like. Tasty.
