Nobody actually knows how the phrase “right as rain” originated. Most folks on the internet believe it started in Britain because it’s rainy there, but how exactly it came to mean “all is well” remains a mystery.

But that’s just fine, because from here on out I’m going to tell people the phrase refers to today’s crisply complex Pale Ale. One sip of Right As Rain after a long day, and I definitely feel refreshed and content!

And, I know exactly where this Right As Rain originated — Stormbreaker Brewing! Hey, if anyone knows about rain, it’s Northwesterners like these Portland, Oregon hop specialists!

These gold medal-decked brewers* rained four kinds of hops into this brew for a pleasant roundup of fruit and forest notes:

• Centennial, US Goldings, and Summer Hops early in the boil make for smooth flavors of lemongrass, orange rind, and pine.

• Galaxy in the dry-hop brings clean notes of peach, grapefruit, and florals. Like a refreshing peach paloma cocktail!

Every sip is a friendly, hop-soaked pick-me-up. And, with its incredibly crushable 5.6% ABV, I could even put in another round of mowing the lawn, working on that office presentation, or chasing the kids with super soakers...

...Or better yet, I could just crack open another quenching can. All is well.
