Style Files: American Brown Ale

In this episode Bob and I take on an interesting category. We discsuss the American Brown Ale, which in theory looks like a version of the English brown, but jacked up on hops (allegedly). American brown ale with roasted malt, caramel-like and chocolate-like characters should be of medium intensity in both flavor and aroma for the American brown ale. American-style brown ales have evident low to medium hop flavor and aroma and medium to high hop bitterness. The history of this style dates back to U.S. homebrewers who were inspired by English-style brown ales and porters. It sits in flavor between those British styles and is more bitter than both.

Examples of this style:

1.     HiHo – Touchdown Brown

2.     Treehouse – Bear

3.     Wrecking Crew Brew Works – Shotgun Banister

Beer Description: This brown ale was brewed to commemorate the 2007 Lungevity Everest Expedition. The people of Tibet call Mt. Everest “Chomolungma,” and this exceptional ale carries on the spirit of the climb. Seven Malts, three hops, and 100 pounds of local wild flower honey give this ale an exceptional character. Baked muffins, dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, rich honey and earthy subtle hops caress the palate.
