New on tap at the Pub - Eider's Fall IPA. Fashioned after traditional British IPAs, this brass colored beer with dry-hopped aroma and bold taste is particularly enjoyable with grilled meats and seafood. IPAs are popular all year but as the days and nights get colder then they really hit their stride. These are full bodied ales with a slightly higher alcohol content. Originally the Pale Ales were meant to be stored for 2 years before serving. They were popular among East India Company traders and the demand for the export product was high thus earning the name India Pale Ale. Legend has it that these ales were formulated to survive the trip to India but, this appears to be false as other ales also were exported and did well.
