“Magnum Opus” Pale Ale released at the Bethlehem Brew Works

“Magnum Opus” Pale Ale comes in at 5.4% ABV. 1.051 O.G.magnum opus

The Bethlehem Brew Works is proud to release our latest “Masterpiece” in the Brew Works long list of fine Pale Ales. Our interpretation of this classic British Style uses powerfully bitter Magnum hops for a lovely initial bite. The patriotic American in us, however, couldn’t help but to dry hop a ridiculous amount of Cascade hops to bring forth a nice grapefruit aroma. Available on tap now in the Christmas City for all those who love Father Christmas, and those who love good ‘ol Santa Claus!

BREAKING NEWS!

Biggest Loser champion comes to Allentown Brew Works December 23rd

Poppi Kramer will be one of three performers in the Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad show at 8pm on Wednesday, December 23rd. Tickets are on sale now at www.TheBrewWorks.com.
