Black Market 5th Anniversary Kentucky-Style Common Ale
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Kentucky Common is said to be one of two beer styles indigenous to the United States. Brewed in Louisville from the 1850’s until prohibition, Kentucky common was a dark colored ale made with barley, corn, and rye using a soured mash. Essentially, it was a bourbon mash, converted into a beer recipe. This is truly a unique style that has both refreshing slightly sour qualities with a nicely layered malt backbone. At Black Market, we have produced our take on this lost style and are proud to offer it as our 5th Anniversary Ale.

This was really weird, like drinking dry sourdough with a touch of brown sugar on top. The finish is more than a little salty. Cierra said this was like a Cheesecake Factory dark loaf in beer form, and I think that's spot on. This was worth drinking, but definitely odd.
