🍺 Gale’s Prize Old Ale just dropped in the UK. It’s an amazing example of an Old Ale in the style of the historic “vatted” English ales that inspired the creation of the Flanders Red style. It’s a modern recreation of a beer made since 1923, which was itself at that time a recreation of historic English ales! Very cool.
