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).

DIPA in the Maharaja vein, full of caramel and orange marmalade and pine, with a boozy kick and lingering bitterness on the finish. Hits my nostalgia button for old-school imperial hop bombs. Nice.

Lots of roasted malt and lactose notes with vanilla. Semi sweet but roasted malts balance things. Heavy but nice

Monday 30th Sep 2019; Shrewsbury Monthly Share in Chez Sophie. O bought this 12 fl oz can at the Great British Beer Festival to split with friends. Hazy orange body, decent white head. Piney and hoppy with citrus fruits playing along in the aroma and taste too. Semi-sweet orange flavours come to the fore as it warms a little.
