Heroica Red Ale

When folks get off shift at Steamworks, more than any other beer, Heroica is the go-to. It’s the perfect balance of enticing hop character, drinkability, and malt – yeah, malt. Remember that ingredient? The red headed stepchild of brewing – and it comes out swinging in this beer. Biscuity sweetness, caramelized fruit, and the slightest hint of roast make for a compelling colour and an even more compelling pint. It’s a full flavoured ale that says “I’m Malty and I’m proud!”. Oh yeah, and there’s some nice hops in it.
