Classic English-Style Pale Ale

Snow Goose is a Winter Warmer that has become a Mid-Atlantic tradition. Snow Goose pours a clear, deep, rich mahogany with a creamy, off-white head. The aromas are warm, toasty malts and caramel with just a hint of hops. Finishes clean and dry.

There was a time in Milwaukee when factory supervisors would pull the chain on the whistle, calling workers to their union-mandated beer break. Bucket boys would hang pails of beer on long poles and hustle cold brew to the workers. One supervisor in particular had a great fondness for these bucket breaks. Some say he made those bucket boys work harder than his factory workers. In his honor, we created Pull Chain Pail Ale, a solid, hoppy American ale built with Cascade hops and balanced with British East Kent Goldings.

A complex brew made from wheat, rye, and oats as well as barley. The colour is deep glowing bronze/gold, with a tight, white head. Toasty and grainy aromas on the nose. The palate is smooth and full with an initial sweetness that is quickly overtaken by a gentle hop bitterness and crispy fruit acidity.

A British Pale Ale never tasted so fresh. We challenge our good friends across the pond to match this one. Can’t be done. We’ve honored the traditions of the great British Pale brewers of Burton-on-Trent using our patented Firestone Union oak barrels. You’re left with a mild blend of vanilla and toasted oak flavor touched with an elegant hint of English noble hops. DBA is the flagship of our company and wildly popular.
