Same name, better beer.
Same name, better beer! The time has come for our beloved Dawn Patrol to take a new form.
Dawn Patrol has been a staple at Aslan for the last eleven years. It has been instrumental in our growth and we are grateful for what this beer has done to get us where we are. As the beer industry evolves, so must some of our core products. With this new and improved recipe for Dawn Patrol we hope to provide a more drinkable and refreshing, new-age pale ale. Dawn Patrol is still very aromatic and has a very similar flavor profile because it uses the same hops as the recipe you know and love. However, we changed how those hops were used to create a beer that moves away from the hazy realm and leans more toward a true pale ale. A yeast update creates a cleaner finish, allowing for a more robust hop expression. Initially, Dawn Patrol was viewed, at least amongst our team, as Batch 15's kid sibling. With these changes, we're hoping it can continue to be more inspired by Tide Breaker and the more modern West Coast IPAs being produced today.
