We've collaborated with renowned homebrewing author, Grand Master Beer Nerd, and all-around great guy John Palmer for this unique, dark tawny beauty of a beer. Like all high adventures, it started out with a seemingly simple quest: Brew a beer worthy of our favorite characters from a far-off fantasy realm. One that would fill flagons in a shire as easily as it would stream from golden goblets in the halls of storied kingdoms. Two years, 10 test batches and much muttering of my precious later, we have the answer: John Palmers Elevenses Ale.
