Brown Ales

Rich, Malty, Nutty, Smooth, Toasty

Brown ale originated in England in the 18th century, initially brewed as a darker, malt-forward alternative to pale ales. Characterized by rich flavors of caramel, toffee, and nutty sweetness, brown ales often feature a balanced bitterness and smooth finish, making them approachable and versatile for pairing with various foods.

Bigelow Brewing Brown Ale - 6 Pack

It pours a hazy chestnut brown, with gold and orange highlights beneath a thin tan foam. The aroma is sweet, nutty with a hint of cocoa powder. Complex with notes of nuttiness and chocolate. A little caramel, a hint of roastiness, and some very subtle leafy hops. A mild bitterness keeps things balanced, starting off slightly sweet before drying out on the finish. It’s got a touch of earthiness, and that roastiness hangs around. The body is light to medium, with a crisp, clean feel. ABV: 5% City: Skowhegan Region: Maine

$14.75

Boothbay Brewery Ken Brown Ale - 4 Pack

This is our take on an all-American brown ale. We blend Mid-west 2-row, caramel, black, and specialty malts to create a rich malt backbone, then balance the sweetness with English hops. While dark in color, it’s lighter in body and alcohol. Brewed specifically for Brown’s Wharf, this beer is a tribute to our longtime friend and owner of the Wharf.
