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. Hazy yellow color, almost flat. Aroma of rum, vanilla. Taste is mostly rum. The rum overwelms the beer characteristics in this one.

Bottle shared for Thanksgiving. Clear amber color, medium beige head. Aroma of typical spice and subtle citrus. Taste is very lightly tart and light to medium spice. Tasty enough, and a popular choice.

Draft at Free the Hops FestivAle in Birmingham. Slightly hazy golden amber color, white edge head. Amazing aroma of herbal, floral spice and light funk. Taste is spiced white wine. The best beer of the festival, imho.
