Old Armor Brewery is joining the celebration with a new beer to mark the nation’s 250th birthday.
“Every time we pour it, and we take a sip of it as a remembrance beer to honor all the service and sacrifice that and everything that the founding fathers went through,” said Assistant Brewer Alex Mack.
For the last two months, the brewery has been selling its newest product- America 250.
“The 250 is a post-revolutionary style beer, so it uses grain and has a lot of rice and corn adjunct lagers in it, which wasn’t a beer that they drank during the Revolutionary War, but it was made by people coming to the 13 colonies after it was founded. So without the founding fathers, doing what they did and all the service and sacrifice they went to be able to make America what it is today. This beer wouldn’t have come into creation,” Mack said.

And it’s a top choice for drinkers.



“We’re like, ‘hey, try this one out,’ and they’re like, ‘you know what that was actually pretty good? Let me go for another one,’” Mack said.
“Just to pay homage to America and our country’s 250th anniversary. I just wanted to try to taste, and it is delicious,” said Stephen Sharpe. It was his first time trying the beer.
Although the beer has been on tap for a short time, the brewers say they won’t be making it for long unless the demand is there.
“Depending on how quickly it runs out, we may end up doing another batch of it,” Mack said.
