Like many of our beers, Red Wheelbarrow (which started out as a pilot batch brewed by Brewer Dan Roberts) doesn’t fit neatly into a style category — think of it as a stronger, more hop-forward interpretation of a traditional red ale. Red Wheelbarrow is not, however, a “red IPA” — there is robust malt character (think raisin and fig) on both the nose and palate that temper the abundant hop presence (think citrus fruit).
I was an English major in college and was introduced to the poetry of William Carlos Williams in a creative writing class. This beer is dedicated to him and his simple, beautiful style. Thank you to our brewer Dan Roberts for creating this beautiful, red ale.
