Big Year Brown Ale

A lot of things happened in 2014 but due to America's attention deficit disorder only one thing is remembered.  That was the release of our Big Year Brown which took the drinking world by storm in January 2014.  After that it was pretty much down hill for the rest of the year, that is until Big Year Brown 2015 was released.  The eternal optimist in me knows that 2014r was just the beginning of our big years.  We won a GABF gold and many local accolades.   We brought it back in 2015 and, guess what, we didn't do what everybody seems to do and make it bigger.  Nope.  Not us.  This is the same Big Year as our last Big Year and we are as equally proud of this Big Year as we were of our last Big Year.  So this is big, not bigger. In honor of our Big Year coming up and in honor of the Big Year we just had, we are releasing our Big Year Brown, the first in a series ranging from 6.5% to 7% abv. We decided it would be fun to make a big version of our American Brown Ale. Everything you know and love—malty, bready, chocolatey, tart and toasty, balanced by grapefruity American hops—but even more so. -Jake Hafner, owner

Beers in our "BIG SERIES" are slightly higher priced than our other beers.  But we kept it marginal as most of these beers will end up on tap at bars and restaurants that pour our beer throughout the year.  So the "Big Series" is a big "thank you" to everyone for being supporters of our beer all year round.
