About this beer

Haymarket Beer Company’s The Defender is an American-style stout boasting an ABV of 7% by volume. Brewed and bottled in Bridgman, Michigan, this stout presents a dark, robust flavor profile with prominent notes of roasted malt and coffee, balanced by a subtle sweetness. The label art features a striking illustration of a determined-looking lion wearing boxing gloves, set against a bold gold and black background, evoking images of strength and resilience. This 12-ounce stout is crafted with a simple ingredient list—water, barley malt, hops, and yeast—and is intended to be served cold.

The packaging also highlights Haymarket’s commitment to quality brewing, with claims of “Making Great Beer for Great Drinkers” and a clear emphasis on responsible consumption. Established in 2010, Haymarket Beer Co. produces The Defender at their production facility in Bridgman, and their pub and brewery are located in Chicago.
