Description: This beer is another creation that is a bit of a wild one, yet uniquely balanced. After souring our browns we decided to shift back some to a more classic American brown ale utilizing Belgium yeasts and a new chestnut barrel for aging. The approach was to balance the toast/roast of the barrel with the roasted malts in the grain bill while protecting the aromatics of the yeast, no easy task. After utilizing some winemaking techniques and careful handling, the result is a beautiful beer that combines in harmony both New and Old World styles. Our Belgian Brown Ale with a unique twist. This base comes from a more classic American brown ale using Copeland 2 Row from Fallon, NV (will shift to Thoroughbred 6 row from Carrol County, MD in 2016) some crystal and roasted malts then utilizing a Belgian Yeast and a New French Chestnut barrel for aging. The approach was to balance the toast/roast of the barrel with the roasted malts in the grain bill while protecting the aromatics of the yeast, no
