From the label

“A recreation of Dukehart Brewing's Porter brewed in Baltimore in the 1870's. Before becoming a brewer, Thomas Murphy Dukehart was a decorated naval officer for the North in the Civil War and taught at the Naval Academy in Annapolis after the war. He ran the brewery for almost 30 years and he is Still a Hero. Brewed in collaboration with beer historian, Maureen O'Prey.”
