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. Deep amber/brown body with a short, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, licorice, alcohol, vanilla, whiskey. The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. Full body, velvety texture, moderate carbonation. The complexity of the nose hardly has a chance in the flavor with its cloyingly sweet, boozy, alcohol assault on the taste buds. Drain pour for me.

On tap at the Huntsville South Mellow Mushroom. Black color, with just a hint of brownish-red, and practically no head. The aroma is bittersweet chocolate, light coffee, caramel, toast, and a lovely note of cherries and red grapes that’s hard to miss. Very sweet flavor, with a soft bitterness. Heavy body, a little chalky, and thick. Overall, this is a very nice, assertive, but measured, treatment of a really good base stout.
