AleSmith – Cream Ale, BBA, Vietnamese Speedway & More

Cream Ale is now on tap at your friendly, neighborhood Tasting Room. Stop on by to enjoy this indigenous American beer style that captures elements from both the ale and lager families. Pale straw in color with a lager-like grainy aroma and absent fruitiness, AleSmith’s Cream Ale is refreshing and smooth! A subdued bitterness and a lighter body gives this hybrid style its’ trademark mouthfeel, smoothness and drinkability.

AleSmith Cream Ale is the perfect thirst quenching choice as the weather grows warmer and the days grow longer.

Vietnamese Speedway Stout is back in bottles! Paired with Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Numbskull, these two specialty brews are the next release in AleSmith Brewing Company’s continuing 2014 Reserve Series.

VIETNAMESE SPEEDWAY STOUT

This version of Speedway Stout with Vietnamese coffee is and continues to be AleSmith’s most popular variation of the ever-growing Speedway Stout collection. Since 2012 we have been adding this blend of four Vietnamese coffees, known in Vietnam as cà phê sữa đá, to our timeless imperial stout base. These coffee beans are slowly roasted at low temperatures and then brewed by AleSmith with a traditional phin-style filter that gently percolates water through the ground coffee. The result is an intensely aromatic and bold tasting coffee that complements notes of chocolate and roast in this massive stout.

BARREL-AGED OLD NUMBSKULL

Our American Barleywine Ale, Old Numbskull, has once again been aging in premium Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels for the past year, developing its rich and intense flavor profile. Barrel-Aged Old Numbskull is an amazingly complex beer that balances the caramel and toasted malt of Old Numbskull with the vanilla, oak, and bourbon character that comes from the barrel aging process.
