Brooklyn Brewing Company - Brooklyn Brown Ale

Brooklyn Brown Ale, made exclusively with American ingredients, won Bronze medals at the Great American Beer Festival in the Strong Ale Category in 1991 and in the American Brown Ale Category in 1992 and 2000. Brooklyn Brown uses two-row pale, crystal, chocolate, biscuit, and wheat malts to attain a complex creamy texture. It is more heavily hopped than its British forbears, using Cascade, Willamette, and Northern Brewer hops. This beer was first brewed back in 1990 as a holiday beer, but has since found its way onto the year-round menu.

This Brown Ale is tawny in color, with a big roasty malt background and a firm hop bitterness. There are hints of chocolate and coffee in the flavor and finish. This beer would go best with a steak or pork chop and even works well with a salad and vegetables.
