From the label“DEAR ENJOYER, Sometimes a rough night just calls for a Breakfast Ale...this one is dark and robust, with just the right mix of coffee beans and maple syrup. The recipe was created by the East Bay Homebrew Club from Rhode Island and vanquished almost 100 other beers in The Boil Rumble, our national homebrew competition. It was then recreated at the Mothership in Alpine, and sent out to our entire distribution network just in time to enjoy for the holidays. Huzzah!”
