Pretty Things Once Upon a Time 1945X Ale
Brewed By: 
Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project
Self-Defined Style: 
Low alcohol English Mild ale
Strength (ABV): 
2.8% ABV

The 1945 Mild (X Ale) is 2.8% and more of a mild-as-we-know-it. Dark, weak, grainy. It’s a fantastic way to get yourself into a World War II rationing frame of mind (Note; we recommend drinking this a bit warmer than the fridge).

Self-Defined Style:

Leute Bokbier was produced by brewery Van Steenberge for the first time in 1927. The billy goat and the hop tendril in the logo refer to the billies of the former brewery-farm and its bordering hop fields. Along with the termination of the farming activities, unfortunately, meant the end of brewing as well. Leute Bokbier disappeared until 1997. LEUTE BOKBIER unites all the good from the past with the knowledge of the present. LEUTE BOKBIER is a dark red heavy top-fermented beer with a second fermentation in the bottle or in the barrel.

Brewed with a dehusked German malt that gives it a black and silky look, without the bitter roastiness you find in other dark beers. A variety of Columbus and Cascade hops were used quite generously to help balance out the large malt bill. This beer is abundant with in complex flavors and hop character and yet quite smooth for a beer that sits at 7.5% abv and 48 IBUs. Cheers!
