Another Portland Original

From the brewery that brought you pioneering and award winning beers like MacTarnahan’s Portland’s Original Amber Ale and Black Watch Cream Porter comes an innovative new beer. Sling Shot Extra Pale Ale is a crisp, clean, full-bodied brew available for a limited release. Light and golden in color, but richly hopped with Cascade and Nugget hops and composed of the choicest malts, Sling Shot lives up to its claim of being “a mischievous ale that hits the spot.” Available in six packs, 22-ounce bottles, and on tap, Sling Shot is perfect for the warm days ahead, but suitable for any occasion where select hand crafted beer is expected. At 6.2% ABV and with 30 IBU, this enterprising new beer is a welcomed edition to MacTarnahan’s sophisticated yet approachable repertoire.
