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).

Some hops, can't tell if Nobel or saaz. Golden pour with ok head. Crisp finish. Easy drinking, though not a ton to this. Tap at brewery.

Taster at Das Stahl. Pours a clear, brown color, with a medium, beige head. The aroma is plum, cardamom, maple, black pepper, and toast. Sweet and pretty yeasty, with a touch of bitterness. Medium to heavy body, spicy, and crisp. Surprisingly light, with a lot of character. Solid.

12 oz. can. Pours a murky, reddish color, with a small, off-white head. The nose is massive pomegranate, vanilla, Merlot, and caramel. Sweet and sugary, with a mild acidity. Pretty heavy body, with a thick, creamy palate. This is a big, decadent sour. Nicely aromatic and tasty.

Taster at Liquor Express. Pours a clear, straw color, with a thin head. The nose is juniper, maple, rye, biscuit, and apple. Sweet and estery, with a bit of bitterness and some heat. Crisp and interesting.

Taster at Liquor Express. Pours a clear, yellow color, with a small, foamy, white head. The aroma is vanilla, juniper, and banana taffy. Sweet and malty, with some dank phenolic notes. Funny tasting...

Deep copper color. Sweet, slight fruit aroma. Flavor is sweet, cherry-like, chocolate with a light alcohol burn at the end. Heavy and full-bodied.

12oz can from Toby. Dark brown pour, thin ring of head. Dry, roasty aroma. Taste is more roast, light chocolate. Seems kind of thin

Big and boozy, malt-heavy and proud of it. Full of caramel, tobacco, candy apple, dates, cocoa, a little molasses, and a lot of bourbon. Finishes with a mild oaked bitterness and lingering whiskey warmth. A sipping brew, for damn sure.
