Introducing Spotty Dog Harvest Rustic Amber Ale, a beautifully crafted expression of craft beer inspired by the bounty of the harvest season. With an ABV of 6.9%, this amber ale pays homage to traditional farmhouse brewing, celebrating the agricultural surplus with a beer that’s both evocative and contemplative.
