Irish Red	Colour IBU22 Alc./Vol 4.8%
History First brewed in March 1996 for the Algonquin Resort in St. Andrews.

We then called it “Finian Irish Red,” but our Irish friends didn’t like it, so it finally became Picaroons Irish Red.

Historical Brown Series
Brown	Colour IBU30 Alc./Vol 4.2%
History In 1859, postmaster general Charles Connell, a Carleton County loyalist, ordered new postage for New Brunswick. Uproar ensued in 1860 when the five-cent stamps appeared bearing Charles Connell’s own face, an error that soon resulted in his resignation. Most, though not all, specimens were destroyed and 115 years later, the extremely rare and valuable “Connell Stamp” is prized and sought by collectors around the world. For the rest of the story, visit the Carleton County Historical Society. Brewed in support of the Carleton County Historical Society and Connell House in Woodstock, N.B.
