It rarely traveled and left almost no written record, part of why it stayed a local curiosity for so long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beer runs dark amber to brown, light in body from the corn, and mildly tart in some accounts from a quick sour mash. Bitterness is low and the finish is easy. This was a beer made to be drunk young and in quantity, not aged or fussed over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour Kentucky Common recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
