Description:
This all-American pale ale is named after the legendary gun dog of Gottlieb Storz. Inspired by Mugs, a stunning Chesapeake Bay Retriver, this beer is brewed to be an ideal example of what a pale ale should be. Smooth and aromatic with a burst of hops that finishes clean.
There’s no question that this unique brew aims to please. If a dog is man’s best friend, surely this is a man’s best beer.

Varietal Definition
Pale Ale:
Pale ales tend to be fuller-bodied with a more assertive character on the palate the standard bitter in a English brewers portfolio. In England it is generally a bottled, as opposed to being sold on draft. Despite the name, pale ales are not pale but, in fact, more of an amber hue. The original designation was in reference to this style of beer being paler than the brown and black beers which were more popular at the time of the styles inception. In the US pale ale styles have become one of the benchmarks by which craft brewers are judged. The US version of pale ale is crisper and generally much more hoppy. Indeed this style is well suited to assertive domestic Pacific Northwestern hop varieties that give the US examples inimitable character.
