The American Brown Ale Style Guide

The American Brown Ale is a modern interpretation of the classic English Brown Ale, amplified by American brewing ingredients. It balances the nutty, chocolate, and caramel malt flavors with a medium to high level of hop bitterness and aroma, typically from American hop varieties.

Flavor Profile:

• Malt: Expect notes of caramel, toffee, and toasted bread. There should be a moderate sweetness that gives way to a drier finish.
• Hops: Features noticeable hop flavor and aroma (pine, citrus, or floral) that is absent in its English counterpart. Bitterness is firm but remains balanced.
• Body: Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Serving Suggestions:

Ideal serving temperature is between 45°F and 50°F (7°C and 10°C). This style pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, sharp cheddar cheese, and hearty stews. It is a fantastic autumn and winter ale.
