BITTESCHLAPPE
Brown Ale

Our traditional Munich-style brown ale features a medium body, with brisk carbonation and a malty sweetness that carries the beer to a soft finish.

- Medium-bodied, smooth, dark ale
- Flavors of caramel, toffee, and cocoa in the finish
- Robustly malted with lots of Vienna malt, lightly hopped with German hops
- Very easy drinking—brown is a color, not a flavor

Suggested pairings:
Hearty foods: Roast pork, smoked sausage, grilled salmon
Cheese: Aged Gouda, crumbly Cheshire
Dessert: Almond or maple-walnut cake, pear fritters, cashew brittle
