They can fase the lighter, more delicate texture in j Columbia Ale just as they can feel the finer, more delicate texture of silk but are unable to account for it. The answer is simple. The distinct and delightful difference so many sense, and enjoy, in Columbia Ale results from a distinctly .different method of fermentation employed in its brewing. Columbia Ale is brewed with a highly-cultured, "top-type", yeast which ferments from the tank top down rather than from the bottom up. This "top-tank" method of fermentation results in the richer, lighter, smoother qualities and flavor . . . the "Top o' The Tank Texture" ... so many enjoy in Columbia Ale. Next time you drop into a tavern try a bottle. Once you taste the difference you'll prefer it always. Keep a few bottles on hand at home. It's delightful before, or with, meals; when guests arrive, or at bedtime. a Your nearby tavern, beverage store, or grocer, stocks it for customers who want the AVAILABLE GM 3c Ted Fassett, who re cently received his discharge from the U.
