Interesting Facts

Pale ale is the prototypical English beer style, born at the dawn of the Industrial Age and
popularized at the height of British empire.
American craft brewers embraced pale ales right from the beginning, but they didn't stop
at re-creating English versions. They combined distinctive North American ingredients
and characteristic American brashness to create a new, distinctly American variant of the
style.

Compared to the British Pale Ale, American Pale Ale (APA) delivers a more pronounced
hop character. Built atop a solid bitterness, the typical new world pale ale has a decidedly
bolder hop flavor and aroma. With its amber hue, medium body, firm bitterness, all-malt
complexity, and wonderfully floral aroma, APA is truly a beer style for all seasons.
