by Michael Larson | American Amber / Red Ale, Capital Brewery, Mug, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass, Wisconsin |
I’m always up for a red ale. I like the way they look and taste and they’re typically hearty enough to be interesting, but drinkable enough to quench. Capital’s version, dubbed rustic for whatever reason you’d like to dream up, pours in that typical red ale way. Its...
