Barley's Red Molly is a full-on session beer, to be enjoyed with your mates when you're having more than one.

We know many of you have graduated to bigger beer styles, such as IPAs and Imperial This and That. Nothing wrong with that--we're there too.

There's something to be said for a well constructed session beer. Less hoppy and lower alcohol than some of the superstars you may be used to, a session beer can be consumed over the course of an evening.

Besides, remember when craft session beer was the only choice, compared to yellow fizz water?

We celebrate session beers by introducing a delightfully drinkable effort that we call Red Molly.

The name is a wink and nod to Richard Thompson's "Vincent Black Lightning 1952," from his 1991 Rumor and Sigh disc. In that song, he says "red hair and black leather is my favorite color scheme." No aargument here.

You can listen to the song here. Scroll down to find it, but you may want to first listen to "Keep Your Distance," one of many classics by one of the greatest guitarists of our generation.
