The brewery also released its limited edition 1901 Roasted Red Ale beer “aged on espresso beans is all bottled up and ready for the Great Fire of 1901 Tours at Bold City Downtown.”

“Anyone can come to Bold City downtown tonight,” Sass said. “Since there is a limited number, there will be a sign up sheet for the commemorative bottles of beer for the $19.01 price. The 7 p.m. tour was oversold but the 8 p.m. tour still has room! If you don’t want the special beer, you can just show up.”
