Conway's Irish Ale
Named for Patrick Conway, the founders' grandfather, who directed traffic as a Cleveland police officer for 25 years. The brewery releases it each winter ahead of St. Patrick's Day. Two-row base malt and a medium crystal malt make up the grist, with Nugget, Mt. Hood and Willamette hops. It pours a clear ruby amber. Biscuit, caramel and light toffee fill the nose and the palate, with a hint of red apple; earthy hops stay in the background and the fuller body ends in a gently dry finish.
