Monocacy Brewing Releases 1st of 9 Civil War Commemorative Beers “Antietam Ale”

We brought you news of Monocacy Brewing opening their doors, and now comes news of a special series of beers that will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.  The first beer in this series Antietam Ale is available now with 8 more to follow.  Details from Dayton Daily News:

The concoction was derived from a number of beer recipes from the 1800s and researched by National Museum of Civil War Medicine researcher Terry Reimer.

Monocacy Brewing Co. in Frederick bottled the first batch Sept. 28 for distribution. 

Antietam Ale is based on a recipe for an English-style ale once brewed by Brewer's Alley -- a style commonly referred to as an ordinary bitter, Brewer's Alley marketing manager Jim Bauckman said.

The next beer, "Proclamation Porter," will be released in January to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
