Category: Brown Ale

My version of this well known beer. Award winning and very famous in the brewing scene. I wanted to get a recipe this time to see how it would fare using my equipment. I wanted a brown after making a red and I thought it would be good to try this out. The brew went well and I waited a little too long to post this. Crazy hop schedule and I was a bit lazy about adding in the Northern Brewer hops and the Cascade hops. A very nice smelling boil for all who savored it.
