Batch 19 beer is the only beer recipe to date that has been salvaged from the years of Prohibition. The recipe for Batch 19 beer was found by Keith Villa as he was cleaning out the basement of a small brewery.
Batch 19 beer is made from a interesting and rare combination of hops (some types include Hersbrucker and Strisslespalt) which adds a unique flavour to the beer. The reason for Batch 19 beer's individuality is because of its illegal feel. Modern beer made with Prohibition-era recipes isn't exactly common, so transport yourself back to alcohol-free living and feel like a rebel!
