O\u2019Lacy\u2019s Irish Pub has a new house beer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday evening, O’Lacy’s owner Kent Ewell poured the first pint, called \u201cOld Sod”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Hoffman, a distributor for Eli Fish and bartender for O\u2019Lacy\u2019s, says the idea came from when he noticed how much draft beer is sold at O\u2019Lacy\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“I brought up the idea to Jon Mager and Matt Gray, owners of Eli Fish, about getting our brand out there. Then gave the idea to our brewer, a few meetings with Kent and we were able to collaborate on a beer for O\u2019Lacy\u2019s,” says Hoffman.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted a darker beer going into the winter months, a porter with a light hazelnut tone to it,” says Ewell. “The last time we had a house beer was in 1999 called \u201cCasual Ale\u201d from Custom Brew Crafters <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beer is an Old English style Porter with a hint of hazelnut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great that downtown businesses can work together. We have been distributing for 4 months and getting our name out there locally is a huge deal, especially with O\u2019Lacy\u2019s who has a great following and great business,” says Hoffman.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe thought of different names for the beer, from “Emerald Isle” or “Quiet Man”, but chose \u201cOld Sod\u201d. We wanted to tie the Ireland theme to the beer. Old Sod comes from the saying, \u201cgoing across the ocean to the old sod,” says Ewell.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pints will be available, as well as growlers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
