Season 2 Episode 1: Cream Ales – Proudly Made in the USA!

South Carolina Beer Scouts

The beer scouts are excited to kick off another season by featuring some local examples of one of the only classic beer styles to originate in the USA – cream ale! Fortunately you don’t have to look too far here in South Carolina to find some great renditions of this relatively obscure style, courtesy of Charleston’s Revelry Brewing Company and North Carolina’s Catawba Brewing Company. And since you can’t talk about cream ale without talking about the classic “Genny Cream” from Rochester, NY, Eric brought down some leftovers to share from his family’s July 4th festivities up in Pennsylvania. As a bonus, Michael graciously shared with us one of his recent wedding gifts: a can of Heady Topper Double IPA, one of Vermont’s highest rated brews! Featuring: Genesee Cream Ale, Revelry's Gullah Cream Ale, Catawba’s Farmer Ted’s Cream Ale, and The Alchemist’s Heady Topper Double IPA.
