Govnor's Public House - Public House Pale Ale

The featured craft brewer recipe comes from Terry Richardson, head brewer, at Govnor's Public House in Lake in the Hills, Illinois.

 

"This style is held by some as the beer that built the British Empire. Created in the eighteenth century, Pale Ales continue to dominate the brewing scene worldwide. This hearty ale is full and well balanced. Truly a beer drinker’s beer." - Govnor's Public House.
