welcome friends we are back with big
drop brewing and now we're going to move
into some of the darker beers this is
your brown ale yeah brown ale so tell me
all about the brown ale so the brown ale
is brown ale came about because we
wanted to make it Christmas beer okay
and we made a spiced brown ale okay and
this is the base and then we added
cinnamon nutmeg ginger and cloves and
actually it's delicious I think it's
brilliant but it was only intended it
was only intended to be a seasonal thing
yep but we sent some samples across to
Finland at the time this was a couple of
years ago okay and the export agent at
the time said this by accident to the
Finns it was never intended to be a long
term line turns out to finish love it so
the Finns said yeah we'll we'll take the
spiced tail and the stout I was like I
mean want you to take the spice nail
because nobody else is taking it
long-term it was a deli it's great so we
still do it for the Finns but we don't
do it for anybody else but what we
wanted to do one of the sort of goals a
big drop going right back to the
beginning about why I set it up is to
provide choice so you don't have to
drink they're not very nice out offer a
lager
if you drink dark beers if you prefer to
drink dark beers yeah I've got a dark
beer for you if you like pale ales and
IPAs I've got those for you as well it's
got a really nice nose it's very malt
forwards yeah you know as you would
expect it's you know it's an English
Brown aisle really so it's very malt
forward a little bit of sweetness
good body
we are good good mouthfeel good out of
here so with the pestle Actos that's the
lactose kicking in yeah
lots and lots of different grains in
there so one of the ways that we achieve
that the flavors that you may not find
in other alcohol-free beers is that we
put lots of different grains in so
you've got lots of different flavors
being pulled out so you're building
you're building up a big grain builder
to build that point we call it backbone
yeah it gives it backbone yep
makes it bit more robust than it would
be if we were just using one or two
grains in here so Scott I as I was
saying to you a moment ago I love all my
children yeah some of them I love more
than others and this is one of my
favorites was it's it's some there's
some really nice roast beef flavors in
there mmm it's like a coffee undertone
and yeah a little bit of coffee there
yep I quite like it because it's not
it's not bitter at all it's a lovely
change for me from those bits of Pale
Ales it's not bitter but it's not sweet
no no no there's no there's no sweetness
there no I think sometimes when people
hear that there's that it's not bitter
they assume that it's that it's sweet
but it's not it's quite it's quite dry
in that respect yes joy yes good work
yeah definitely and goes really you know
this is this is your classic probably in
Canada as well you know autumnal yeah
drink Waring log fire yes I will have
the meat pie and the mashed potato thank
you very much I'd love to taste the
spiced version despite I know and maybe
we'll go to Finland okay in Finland so
where is this available no I say that's
just available in the UK okay
because it is quite it's a very popular
style in the UK this is this is what my
dad drinks so that might be you know
that my dad is seven seventy yards and
he likes English bitters you know he
does like to go to the pub and have the
cascais old pulled they have the foaming
head on a point of not brown ale you
know yep great English tradition but he
and his mates
police it there don't happen and essence
drink that yeah as will i but it's not
style of beer that would necessarily
translate I think to some of our other
markets and that's fine it's it's it
truthfully it is not a huge style here
look
there's a specialty stock yeah yeah and
that's fine because but it is a it's a
great beer thank you very much
yeah and just like just like the fact
that not all bears appeal to all people
not all beers appeal to all markets but
we've got now I would say enough
expertise in producing beers at this
level of ABV enough that we can do now
almost any styles down yeah this is this
is a fantastic beer and again I've drunk
the whole thing I really I love the
brown ale I think is pretty ok so if you
can find this one give it a try
thanks for stopping by see you guys soon
you
