2 Brothers Growler American Brown Ale

Inspired by their recent collabeeration with Feral, we were quite looking forward to this one.

And for once our confidence was not misplaced as 2 Brothers have delivered a very pleasing brown ale here with a lot of character and complexity. Looking forward to trying the rest of their range given a chance now.. could be yet another strong Victorian producer to add to the crowd.

Shame about the confusing choice of title though - whoever heard of drinking a growler from a squealer, or from a bottle for that matter?

Dark body and tan head good to look at, dead brown dry but floral nose. It's pretty expressive from early on and doesn't let up. The big biscuit and buttery malt flavours that give this one a nice sense of presence and permanence for its 4.7%. Enjoyed this beer and would drink again in a flash. 7.5
