What better way to celebrate 20 years of great food, amazing beer, and unforgettable memories than with the release of FED HEAD Rye Red Ale, brewed locally at Atomic Clock Brewing Company. An homage to the earlier days of craft beer, this retro rye red ale delivers the perfect balance between malt and hops. Simcoe and Centennial hops impart aromas of pine and orange peel, complimenting the mild caramel notes from the malt. Heirloom Seashore rye, malted locally, adds palate fullness and enhances the dry finish of this supremely drinkable ale. Come by The Federal and a have a pint in honor of our 20th year 🍻
