Howdy,

New to San Antonio, I enjoyed a brew or two at Freetail Brewery last night. This morning, I e-mailed them about the recipe they use for one beer I really enjoyed. It was simple, flavorful, etc.

The Freetail Ale, I thought, was the best I had last night, and it was good enough I thought I'd find out more about it.

Here's what I got back from Scott Metzger of Freetail, and he gave me permission to post it here.

Glad you dug the Freetail Ale!

For our signature brew, we use:

60% 2-row
17.5% Munich
5% Carapils
17.5% Vienna

We use Cluster and Columbus hops.

Cheers and happy homebrewing!

I don't know what kind of yeast they use, but I would guess from my memory of the flavor that it was a British-style of yeast? Anyone else have a good idea how to approximate it at home with homebrew yeasts?

It's listed as 4.4%abv with 30 IBUs

Anyway, it seemed worth sharing. It's a great beer, and a very cool place if you're in San Antonio.
