It’s also the first single-hop ale and dry-hopped ale to be introduced to the United States. Liberty Ale is craft brewed in the heart of San Francisco, CA accodring to strict traditional brewing methods, and uses only natural ingredients, including – pale malted barley, fresh whole-cone Cascade hops and a special top-fermenting yeast, and water.
