Hopeful Chad Pale Ale
Sure to win your vote
It was the election that wouldn't die. And now that it's finally over, we can't
help feeling a little . . . empty. So Watch City Brewing Company is here to
offer something to fill that void, literally and figuratively, so that the
ballot-counting fun of the past month can live on -- if only for a few more
weeks.
Dubya may finally be savoring the sweet taste of victory, but the teetotaling
president-elect won't be able to try this sweet, rust-colored ale, replete with
the flavor of honey and a faint tang of licorice. Al can, however (as soon as
he puts down that wussy Heineken). And something tells us he'll have a lot of
tippling time on his hands for the foreseeable future.
Inspired by Canada's recent flawless elections, Watch City used organic pale
malt from Saskatchewan to create a beer that knows where it stands. Whether
you're swinging with the ladies or just hanging by the bar, the Hopeful Chad
Pale Ale is a winner. No recount necessary.
Available at Watch City Brewing Company, 256 Moody Street, Waltham, (781)
647-4000.
