Red Tide Ale

I have a house on Cape Cod in Mass and I love to go clamming in the summer....unfortunately, the clamming beds by my house are closed (and have been for the past 8 years) due to Red Tide. This beer will hopefully get me through the wait while they ponder if the beds will be open this year!!
