St. Bridget’s Porter
St. Bridget, a legendary Irish saint, created a sensation
by turning her bathwater into beer. What better way to
celebrate her worthy miracle than with our zymurgistic tribute
to her feat: St. Bridget’s Porter. St. Bridget’s
is a smooth and elegant brown porter. Brimming
with coffee and chocolate characteristics from dark barley
malts, St. Bridget’s is carefully hopped to provide the
perfect complement to its malty robustness. This beer
is a “must have” beer for all porter lovers.
Prepare
yourself for a religious experience.
Alcohol by volume: 5.9%
