COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Amber Ale has a beautiful copper color with great head retention. A great combination of malt and hop characteristics create a hearty brew with incredible body sure to please craft brew aficionados. The Whistle Stop Amber Ale derived its name from the practice of trains inbound to a “Whistle Stop” station, signaling an approach with a blast of the train’s steam whistle, alerting the train depot attendant to their approach. If passengers, mail or freight waited to be picked up at the depot, the depot master would raise a tower signal to indicate to the train engineer that the train should stop. If no stop was necessary, a different signal would be raised and the engineer could steam through the depot without a stop; Ephrata was known as a “Whistle Stop” town. So if you need to “wet your whistle,” we hope you make a visit to our “Whistle Stop” town of Ephrata and try the Whistle Stop Amber Ale!
