Description from the Brewer: Having been added to the brew schedule, and then removed for various time sensitive projects time...and time...and time again - we've been committed to finding a slot for this red to be painted in. The recipe was built around how I feel reds should be brewed, but rarely are.

Brewers are often afraid of crystal malts ("THIS BEER IS OXIDIZED!" scream the uninformed Untappd reviews). But we're not afraid. We also used pilsner malt instead of the more assertive pale malt, alongside ample amounts of light Vienna malt. We then split crystal malt duties with roasted and dehusked Carafa III,  and a dash Dark Crystal.

All this adds up to a full flavor that makes you feel like you are drinking a nice dark and rich beer, with the lighter color malts giving a base coat for the red color to dance around on. The toasty and roasty aromatics from the malt bill also mix very nicely with a quick brush stroke of Cluster hops. 

This should hit home if you genuinely miss good red ale, which the NA space desperately needs. This is going to be one you don’t want to miss, so grab yourself some before its gone!

note: in the photo of the beer, the color of the beer was not photoshopped, however we did strategically place a brewers flashlight behind the glass to show off the beautiful color!

WARNING: similar to many juices, kombucha, and other beverages you'll find in the grocery store, this product has not been pasteurized, and therefore may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.

PLEASE NOTE: like other beverage industries have been doing for centuries, we mitigate the potential for bacterial growth in other ways, rather than to pasteurize and destroy the nuanced flavors that make our beer stand out from many pasteurized non-alcoholic beer offerings, though we do acknowledge pasteurization is the most effective way to inhibit bacterial growth, or potential for refermentation in the can. Risk may be exacerbated by prolonged warm storage, so to mitigate risk, always cold-store Self Care immediately upon receipt, and avoid exposure to extreme heat.
