An English brown ale is simply darker than a bitter but not as dark as a porter. As a style, there’s a lot of room for interpretation. The key is a fundamental drinkability.
This adventurous beer is based on an American pale ale and inspired by the Moscow Moose cocktail. The ginger and rye are present, but subtle. The wild card is the use of lime, which shines through on the finish.
This beer is inspired by Mike Todd, a fellow member of the Stoney Creek Homebrewers, who brought a SMaSH version to a recent meeting. We were all blown away by the clarion blackberry/black currant/plum notes that the Bramling Cross hops pumped out!
This raspberry and cherry sour has won several awards for pro-brewer-in-planning Geoff Coleman, including Best of Show at the 2015 Colorado State Fair and a Gold Medal at the 2016 Big Beers Festival.
