Brooklyn Brewery in Brooklyn, NY
I almost forgot about this beer. As another one of the finds in the Midwest that is much harder to come by in Montana, the Brooklyn Brown Ale was another beer I took notes on upon tasting, liked quite a bit, but completely forgot about until now. And for as much as I loved Brooklyn’s Black Chocolate Stout, and for how I was just slightly above indifferent toward Brooklyn’s Local 2, I was curious to see how much I would enjoy the usually mediocre brown ale category entry. No matter how hard I try, finding a sessionable and unique brown ale is just really tough. It’s starting to look like it’s the equivalent of ordering a pale ale at the bar: I know what I’m getting into; I know I’ll most likely be disappointed; and I know that it will take something special in the flavor to blow me away. Yes, I’m a skeptic. Yes, I tried the Brooklyn Brown anyway.
