Beer Description
King Lear – English Olde Ale, 9.2% abv
King Lear is Cockney slang for beer and, in Shakespeare’s play of the same name, even the Fool has a very poor opinion of brewers who “mar their malt with water”. That’s because back in days of yore, a King drank the brewer’s first runnings. Peasants got the seconds, creating lower alcohol “small beer”.
None of that for you, our Royal friends! At 9.2% ABV, this English Olde Ale is a big beer. Dark coppery amber, King Lear features traditional malty sweetness with a slightly fruity, earthy aroma. To quote the bard – “I would give all my fame for a pot of ale.” No need. We think thou wilt find this offering As You Like It.
