Notes

A light and easy drinking pale ale inspired by the small Arkansas village where I was reared. A settlement of German, Swiss, and Polish coal mining immigrants Altus had a population of 418 back in the '80s. Being on the edge of a wet county, next to a dry county and home to 4 wineries and multiple other places to purchase alcoholic beverages. We loved our wine in Altus, but when taking a break from the grape, we chugged a light beer. Seeing hops by the same name of the place, I couldn’t resist trying them!
