In The Beginning There Was The Wort
The "Tragedy of the Commons" is a concept in economy and it means: If everybody can use a common good without having responsibilities, it will fall into decay. Open beer-recipes are a common good and it is our responsibilitiy to maintain them and improve them.
The Kentucky Common was the staple beer in Louisville and around until the Prohibition spread its dark wings over the United States of America. The advent of light Lager beers later inhibited its resurrection. What a pity!
This beautifully fresh Ale unfolds its subtle fruity taste over a light body. A fantastic summerbeer that you should drink fresh.
Cheers to the "Good Ole South"
