War is a big, Irish-style red ale brewed with Cherry wood smoked malt, British Amber malt, 2Row Pale ale malt, and Scottish roasted barley malt! Crisp water drawn from our well, and spicy Bravo hops from the Yakima valley growing region round out this wonderfully malty, smoky beer. War: The rider of this second horse is taken to represent War or mass slaughter. His horse's color is red. In some translations, the color is specifically a "fiery" red. This color, as well as the rider's possession of a great sword, suggests blood that is to be spilled.(Hence the reasoning for a red style ale) The second horseman may represent civil war, battle, blaze, burning (hence the significance with smoke) as opposed to the war of conquest that the first horseman is sometimes said to bring. Other commentators have suggested it might also represent persecution of Christians. War will be the second of four brews released centered around the ancient Mayan apocalypse of 2012 signifying worlds end on December 21st. War, a fiery red entity holds significance as being one of the Four Horseman given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other! Please enjoy with close friends and family and covet this special brew until the bitter end.
