Coming in about a month, the Oconee Brewing Company will be offering a red ale called Bacon & Kegs. And, yes, it’s what you think.

“The beloved scent of bacon stands out from the typical medium hop aroma of a red ale. The malty sweetness of the base beer blends perfectly with the salty, savory, and smokey bacon extract to create a delicious and unique beer,” Oconee Brewing’s Company’s website states.

The cans feature a drawing of the Waffle House restaurant and its sign with bacon strips and mugs of beer.

According to the company, Bacon & Kegs will be available in six-packs or draft (including growlers) exclusively at Oconee Brewing Company beginning Friday, Dec. 18.
