Neenah, 1873

Lion’s Tail recently released this beer as part of Neenah’s Sesquicentennial Celebration. It’s definitely worth seeking out. This was brewed to replicate the sort of beer that Frank Ehrgott was making at the Neenah Brewery back in 1873. I think it pretty much nails it. Full disclosure: I had a part in formulating the recipe for 1873.
