According to the Terre Haute-born labor union leader and presidential candidate Eugene Debs, "The most heroic word in all languages is revolution." Indiana has had numerous revolutionaries in fields ranging from basketball to music. NABC honors them all with Hoosier Daddy.
Hoosier Daddy is not easily described in terms of conventional beer style terminology. It is possible to refer to Hoosier Daddy as a "cream" ale owing to the use of lactose sugar, but at 7% abv and a dark reddish-amber hue, traditional conceptions of cream ale are to be discarded. However, there is a certain medium-bodied creaminess, amplified amber/red maltiness, and enough hops for assertive balance.
Hoosier Daddy will be a six-month NABC seasonal, available on draft and in 22-oz bottles through March of 2013, and perhaps beyond that if the drinking public so desires.
