Brewed with 100% North Carolina grain (rye, corn, and six-row barley) and apple pommace from Foggy Ridge Cider. This sour mash dark ale is tangy, tart, but smooth...like a worker's "common" beer should be. Kentucky Common is an obscure American beer style originating from the coal mining regions of, you guessed it, Kentucky. Legend has it that the beer was made to transition coal miners from drinking bourbon during their lunch break to a low-alcohol sour mash "beer." Oh how times have changed.
