One of the best things about January is not the cold winter days, but the release of Fordham Brewing Company’s, Scotch Ale at the Rams Head restaurants. This year, come celebrate the release with us on Thursday, January 5th, 2012 from 4-6pm.

 Mark your calendars, and get here early. Scotch Ale is always one of our most popular releases. This beer is exceptionally smooth and thoroughly robust, the Ale has a deep delicious flavor that will warm you down to your wee little bones.

The Rams Head will have limited edition glasses for the beer release. The special glass for Scotch Ale will be available for $4 at 4pm on release day. Patrons who purchase the glass also receive a fill-up of the Scotch Ale and $1 refills during the 4-6pm release party.

According to Walter Trifari, head brew master at Fordham Brewing Company, “This unique seasonal comes out just in time to warm your soul on those chilly winter nights. We brewed this beer with a touch of Beechwood smoked malt for a smooth & subtle smokiness that we know you’ll enjoy all winter. This beer also pairs well with smoked meats, salmon & buttery cheeses such as Gouda and Brie.”
