Carpe Diem Manana

A departure from The Ale Apothecary’s ‘standard’ line of beers that all age for over a year in barrels, this beer is packaged within just a few months of brewing and is their fond testimony to a period of brewing where creative and observant brewers noticed that with the use of fairly large quantities of hops, their beer would be ‘preserved’ and last a while longer without spoiling. Instead of using high hopping rates to make this beer last longer, they were used here to inhibit bacteria from producing too much acid, and allowing them to serve the beer in a younger state.
