About this beer

Shoehorn Brewing’s Red Cap Porter is an English-style dark ale boasting an ABV of 6.2%. The label, dominated by a vintage illustration of a steam locomotive with a prominent “Red Cap” emblazoned across its side, evokes a sense of old-world travel and industry. This porter delivers a restrained roasty character, presenting a dark brown hue with a smooth, slightly malty flavor profile. It finishes dry, contributing to a remarkably balanced and easily drinkable experience. Brewed and packaged in Belleville, Illinois, this 1-pint offering proudly proclaims the brewery’s dedication to independent craft beer.

The beer is crafted with malt and hops, though the specific varieties are not detailed on the packaging. It carries a warning from the Surgeon General regarding alcohol consumption during pregnancy, alongside indicators of responsible drinking practices. A small icon denotes the brewery’s certification by the Brewers Association as an Independent Craft Brewer.
