Bodacious Brown

Brown Ale

Bodacious Brown

More character than its name suggests. More drinkable than its color implies.

5.6% ABV
41 IBU
On Tap Availability

Bodacious Brown defies the brown ale stereotype. This isn't a flat, forgettable middle-of-the-road beer — it's packed with chocolate and coffee notes from melanoidin and chocolate wheat malts, yet drinks with an unexpected lightness and smoothness that keeps you reaching for another.

The name is part personality, part warning. Once you try it, you'll understand why it's earned a loyal following at the taproom. 41 IBU keeps the malt in check and adds a dry edge that works perfectly with the roasty character.
