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).

Sample from 65 cl. bottle. Love the label! Finally some credit for this legendary Soviet space dog! Pitch back with a thin, tanned head. Roasted aroma with dark malts, red berries, herbal hops, coffee, chocolate, fruits and liquorice. Taste is bitter. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Finishes dry and roasted with liquorice and rich malts. Very enjoyable.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours an intense, pitch black with a small, light brown head. Intense dark chocolate aroma. Rich and very full body, dark slightly salty licorice notes and some bitter dark chocolate again. Not overly roasty. Very, very rich and filling indeed. 081114
