Keeping Brown Ale
The Virginia Beer Company
American Brown Ale – 7% ABV
An original 18th century recipe brewed with Frank Clark. A traditional colonial-era Brown Ale built from a blend of roasted grains – including Roasted Barley, Cherrywood Smoke Malt, and Murphy & Rude Cimmerian Brown Malt. Then aged in Oak Barrels with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and Native Virginia Wild Yeast. A result worth the wait, and as complex as it sounds: hints of oak & smoke – warmly malty with notes of toasted breadcrumbs – and a luscious funk fused into a palatably dry finish.
