My BEST IRISH RED ALE Recipe Yet! (Award Winning)

Описание: This is easily my best iteration of the classic Irish Red Ale yet! Ready in just about a week, this authentic representation not only absolutely nailed the color, but also was an absolutely delicious take on the style and did not last long on tap! UPDATE: This beer went on to compete in the final round of the National Homebrew Competition and brought back a bronze medal in the Mini-Best of Show for my regionals!
