 Let the rejoicing beginbecause Tater Ale is back
Some brewers like to make fall harvest beers from pumpkins. Moon River Brewing's brewmaster John Pinkerton, however, uses jumbo sweet potatoes.
We also leave the spices out of the beer and serve each pint with a blend of ground roasted pumpkin seeds and pie spices on the rim of the glass.
This low ABV beer is a not-so-mild English-style mild ale, capitalizing on a snappy malt flavor and a floral English hop character.
As part of the production process, brewer Henry Sims baked hundreds of pounds of sweet potatoes in the pizza ovens at Vinnie Van Go Go's in City Market.
New beer named after vampire-like creatures
The Gullah people of coastal South Carolina and Georgia tell tales of Boo Hags haunting the Lowcountry in search of suitable hosts to ride. Feeding off the exhalations of their prey, they induces a state of dream-filled paralysis and leave their victims alive, but drained of vitality.
But don't let all that spooky talk worry you. The shadowy pallor and hop intensity of Moon River Brewing's new Boo Hag Black Ale may take your breath away, but we are willing to bet you'll be up for another pint.
Join us for storytelling at a candlelight dinner
