Allison’s prize was the opportunity to come up with a beer that will get a big platform during the bicentennial hoopla. It will be available on draft and in 12-ounce cans through 2018. Hand of Fate — a small brewery on pace to make a mere 400 barrels of beer in 2017 (one barrel equals two standard-sized kegs) — bought a 30-barrel fermentation tank from LaGrow Beer Co. in Chicago to boost production for the project.
