Rich, dark and malty, yet remarkably light on the palate, this unmistakable beer is a tribute to the classic ales of old England. Some say it tastes of London, we say it tastes delicious.
Enjoy Crafty Jack with classic British style pub offerings such as fish and chips, steak pies, bangers & mash and of course, beef wellington & Yorkshire pudding.

On tap at the brewery's taproom.
Clear dark brown with ruby-brown edges; bubbly tan body.
This standard, brown English Ale was competently crafted using some dark malts in additional to less thoroughly roasted grains. Mild aroma and flavor, although it finishes stronger and leaves a good aftertaste featuring medium and dark roasted grains. Enough hops to give this a near neutral bitter-sweet balance that leans towards bitter.
Hints of molasses and dark chocolate.
Medium body and near medium carbonation.
