Description
Founded by local home brewers in 2009, Straight to Ale has quickly grown to become one of Alabama’s largest production breweries.
In the summer of 2016 we opened our new 55,000 square foot facility at Campus 805, reclaiming a long vacant Middle School campus on the edge of downtown Huntsville and turning it into a thriving community of breweries, bars, restaurants, and local shops. At this new location, we expanded to include cider and mead production along with distilled spirits (Shelta Cavern Spirits), a scratch made kitchen (Ale’s Kitchen), a pinball arcade and pool room (Ronnie Rayguns).

Bottle (courtesy of Cybercat). Cabernet, wood, chocolate malt, and fresh hay aroma. Oil black with moderate brown head. Mildly semi-sweet Cabernet, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Wine really dominates this beer - malt flavor is rather subdued. Interesting.
