Pale Ale Under $10 in Boston

About Pale Ale

Pale ale is a hop-forward but balanced beer style, and The Wild Duck carries a range of pale ales for Boston drinkers. The shelf includes Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Long Trail Ale, Good Jake, Powder Jones, Two Seam, A Little Rain and Rocket Pale Ale, with makers such as Zero Gravity, Austin Street, Bissell Brothers, Tuckerman, Lord Hobo and Idle Hands. In general, pale ales sit between lagers and IPAs, with citrus or pine hop notes and a malt backbone that keeps the bitterness moderate. They pair well with burgers, pizza, grilled chicken and sharp cheeses. Shop in store, or choose pickup or delivery.
