Brewed with dates and caramelized sugar, this American brown ale from BRU Handbuilt Ales & Eats in Boulder, Colorado, offers flavors of dried fruit and balanced hops.
One of the flagship ales at BRU Handbuilt Ales & Eats in Boulder, Colorado, is the Obitus American Brown Ale, for which founder, brewer, and chef Ian Clark hangs a bag of roasted dates inside the fermentation tank to impart warm, dried fruit flavors. It was one of the first recipes crafted in Clark’s garage, and it went on tap where he kept his day job as the executive chef of Boulder’s Centro Latin Kitchen.
