Tanner's Jack
Tanner's Jack was named after the old Tanner’s
drinking vessels, which were known as Jacks.
They were in common
use from medieval times through to the 19th century. Leather was
used because it was more readily available than pewter, decidedly
less costly than glass, and did not break like pottery. Leather
was also favored because of its strength allied with its light
weight.
“A soft reddish brown ale with a nutty/malty
palette,
background sweetness and a smooth finish”. A smooth
tasting cask conditioned premium ale. It has a fuller sweeter taste
than traditional ales with more character in the flavor than the
aroma. There is background sweetness combined with nutty malty flavors
to give a fuller bodied, yet easy drinking premium ale.
