Bad Knees

Barrel-aged English-style Old Ale

Boasting near barleywine strength, Bad Knees has been crafted of English Maris Otter and Golden Promise malts and Challenger and Fuggles hops. After fermentation it subsequently has spent several months in the CBC Barrel Cellar, biding its time in Buffalo Trace-cum-Utopias barrels. Very rich and malty with big caramel, toffee, and brown sugar notes. Considerable oak and spirit, underscored by raisins, fruity esters, grassy hops and a hint of coconut.

Snifter $5.50

OG: 1.094   FG: 1.016   ABV: 10.5%

Testimonials

  • We may not have the plethora of brewpubs in our city like the Midwest, but who needs more when you've got Cambridge Brewing Company! These guys rock!

    Megan S., Jamaica Plain, MA

  • Beer + consistency = awesome. CBC had great beer the first time "micros" were trendy (mid-90s), great beer after the bubble burst, and it still has great beer now that "craft beer" is trendy again.

  • Fantastic beer! Great beer events, parties, and dinners! Creative, friendly, and warm. Delicious food! I am also impressed they make an effort to serve grain-fed beef and local ingredients. Plus, they send their grains to local farms I believe. So cool.

  • BEERUNCH. I freaking love beerunch. It combines two things that are awesome: beer and brunch.
