4.75% ABV
Let's keep the ball rolling on the Patron Inspiration Series. In this exciting installment we bring you Halstead's Hearty Indian Brown Ale named for our good friends John and Lijana Halstead. The interesting thing about this addition to our collection is that John and Lijana don't drink beer.....or any liquor for that matter. Normally, you would think, "what in tar-nation are these guys doing hanging out Bashore BrewHaus?" The simple answer to that question is that we are just so cool, who wouldn't want to be around us?
In all seriousness, these are two of the best people that we have the privileged to be around. It goes to show you that its not about beer at the bunker, it's about good friends being goofy, dancing, joking and having good time and the Halstead's are at the top of the list when it comes to having fun. They never act like they are uncomfortable or out of place around all the drunken hooligans that are usually hanging around. They just go with the flow all the while injecting some of there own Halstead excitement into the place! (insert funny comment from John)
In honor of John and Lijana I made a dry hopped Indian Brown Ale. This beer looks like a regular sessionable brown ale right down to the lowish alcohol. That's where the similarities stop. This beer has an intense hop aroma and flavor with hints of chocolate and roasted malts that come from the grains. I really do think this beer is pretty delicious. I've only had samples of it warm without carbonation and I really enjoyed it.....which can't be said for most beers I brew. I know John and Lijana won't be drinking any of this ale, but they should be able to get a good idea about it from the smell.
Cheers to You Crazy Kids!
If it's Brown drink it down, if its black......send it back!!
