IS SO
IT'STHE
Thousands throughout the West who enjoy Columbia" Ale
have wondered why it is so distinctly different from other malt-
beverages. 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
