NABC ConeSmoker is coming soon
Once again, the annual batch of ConeSmoker has been brewed by Ben Minton at NABC’s original R & D Brewery, and in a few weeks, it should be ready for release.
The inspiration for ConeSmoker dates to the late 1990’s. One night I poured BBC American Pale Ale into a glass used previously for Bavarian-style Schlenkerla Rauchbier, or maybe the other way around, and an idea for Smoked APA was born.
