Mabel’s Leap

For 2020 International Women’s Day and its theme of “Tribute”, FSB partnered with the Dayton YWCA to honor Mabel Evens, the first African-American woman to be seated on the Dayton YWCA Board, in 1932, a leap year, as is 2020. In 1969, the Dayton Daily News wrote, “She’s given a lifetime of honorable service to the YWCA and to her community. She’s a great lady and a strong, intelligent force in West Dayton.”

Mabel’s Leap is a rustic, pre-Prohibition take on an American wheat ale. With a grain bill of 50% malted barley, 25% raw wheat, and 25% Ohio-malted corn, it presents a cereal grain aroma with some sweetness. Bread dough and corn-flake flavors abound in the taste, and it closes with a clean, husky finish. Show Less
