Hobo Brews

Ahnapee Hobo Brews!

We release a different beer style "Hobo" every year in May as our Anniversary release.  Our inspiration was the Ahnapee & Western train track that had a spur that supposedly ended right behind the 1800's Ahnapee Brewery Building.  We imagine, it would have been a popular spot for a hobo (or two) to stop into the town of Ahnapee (now Algoma). 
 
While we will never know if one or more hobos actually made the trip to the 1800s Ahnapee Brewery, we name a Hobo Brew after them ever year!  We don’t know if he/she was a Short Hobo, Skinny Hobo, Tipsy Hobo, or Ghost Hobo, but what we do know is that they’ll have a lot of names in the years to come.
