Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project
Client Brewer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States 🇺🇸

Description
Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project began on a shoestring budget in 2008. We exist to allow 20 year professional brewer Dann Paquette to make an honest living while giving his imagination free reign. We brew our beers in other people's breweries because we can't afford our own. We enjoy the up-at-dawn lifestyle and the freedom to brew beers of our own imagining. We brew all our beers ourselves: Dann brews and formulates, Martha mills in. We dream up our beers together, inspired by Europe, by history, and by BEER and all it can be. We are based in Somerville, but brew mostly in Westport, MA, hence the early mornings. Cheers!

Pours deep mahogany into a Trappist glass. Off-white head with large bubbles recedes to hug rim leaving no lacing. Dusty plum and pit fruit aromas. Sweet and dry with plums and cherries upfront. Lasting dry thin dusty malt and alcohol finish.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Fluffy pancake head with medium retention leaves sheet lacing as it recedes. Cocoa and plum aromas. Sweet and creamy chocolate upfront turning to raisins in the middle and a peppery cocoa finish. Takes on an unpleasant chalky sourness as it warms.
