I am a sucker for great beer names and I cringe at some bad ones but Iron Horse brewery has one that I truly like. Why? Because it incorporates the past history of the brewery and is cheeky as well. And it doesn’t hurt that the beer sounds good to taste too.
“Created by the brewery’s founder, Quilter’s Irish Death is what we call a dark, smooth, ale. Any attempt at classifying it just ends up sending beer geeks into a style guidelines diatribe. So forget style guidelines. Is your pursuit of micro beer about tasting copies of a style that fit guidelines anyways? (Neither is ours) We lovingly refer to it as beer candy. While tempting to session this beer, the name is a necessary reminder that despite the surprising approachability, this beer weighs in at a hefty 7.8% ABV.”
