DRAKES BREWERY "1500" DRY HOPPED PALE ALE 12oz.(bottle) SAN LEANDRO, CALIFORNIA

DRAKES BREWERY, "1500 PALE ALE" 12oz.(bottle) EAST BAY, CALIFORNIA

Generously dry-hopped with Amarillo and Simcoe for a bright, piney punch, this new school American-style pale ale brings together orange blossom and grapefruit notes with a touch of honey sweetness. We don’t like choosing favorites, but 1500 is our perfect everyday hoppy beer. The 1500 Story: As we approached our 1500th batch in San Leandro, the brewers decided to attempt something different. They set out to make a pale ale with a clean, stripped down malt bill and plenty of late addition hops that would give the beer huge flavors and aromas of bright citrusy American hops without overwhelming the balance with bitterness. The resulting beer packed the aromatic and flavorful hop punch of a West Coast-style IPA at a very easy drinking 5.5% ABV. The brewer and the people loved it. Now 1500 is a Drake’s flagship beer.
