The Tale of Hanley's ‘Draíocht Tancard’

Shrouded in the mists of time, the origins of the 'Draíocht Tancard' are as mystical as they are strange.

Brewery legend tells of how it was crafted in a moonlit grove in Newport by Druid priests, imbued with ancient magic, calling upon arcane rituals. Others whisper tales of its discovery in a forgotten tomb deep within the sands of Egypt, where it lay beside relics rumored to hold secrets of eternal life. Despite its seemingly supernatural start, this mystical mug somehow found its way into the hands of the legendary James Hanley, adventurer and founder of Providence's oldest brewery, bringing an air of mystery and ancient power.

According to lore, the Draíocht Tancard possessed an otherworldly quality, granting it the power to transform mere water into a frothy, hop-infused elixir. This brew was unlike any other – a perfect symphony of flavors that became the stuff of legends among beer lovers.

But on a stormy night, the Draíocht Tancard disappeared. Some say it was lost in the storm's chaos; others whisper of a secret burial by Hanley himself, fearing its magic too potent for the mortal realm. Engraved with Delphic runes, it was entombed beneath an obelisk, hidden from those who sought to misuse its mysterious might. Since then, the tale of the enchanted tankard has become a whispered legend, stirring the imagination of crusaders and lore seekers across the globe.
