OPEN SESAME

Honey Sesame Brown Ale ABV 4.2% Fermentables: Pale Ale, Munich, Vienna, Caramel, Chocolate, Honey Hops/Spices: Sterling, Willamette, Black Sesame We brewed this low ABV “session beer” in collaboration with Church Brew Works and Pittsburgh Bottleshop for the release of the Pittsburgh Brewers Guild Brewery Guide.
