About this beer

Calico Outlaw Brewing’s Flag Bearer is a Maple Blonde Ale, brewed from fresh maple syrup gathered from nearby sugar maples less than ten miles from the brewery. At 5.0% ABV, this New York State Farm Brewery creation boasts a grainy sweetness balanced by a delicate hop profile, utilizing both New York State grown grain and hops, and a measured 0.25 oz of maple syrup per batch. Pilsner malted barley forms the crisp base, with a small amount of Sumac for its crisp bite. The label artwork depicts a silhouetted figure on horseback against a vibrant orange and yellow sunset, evoking a sense of the wild west and adventure, while text references historical anti-rent war incidents in New York’s Catskill Mountains, particularly the actions of “Delaware County Undersheriff” Osman Steele.

The label prominently features pronouncements like “Anti-Rent War! Awake! Arouse!” and warns against the dangers of the anti-renter movement. Beyond the historical notes, it also clarifies that the beer is unfiltered. The brewery proudly proclaims itself “the new CENTER of the UNIVERSE!” alongside coordinates pointing to Arkville, New York.
