The smell of burning wood, the crackling embers, the warm glow of the fire. Whatever your favorite part of a bonfire is, take it all in with every sip of Bonfire Brown. This classic American Brown Ale is a perfect example of tradition; from it’s malty, rich body to the touch of light smoke in the finish.

Several bottles in various glasses. Nice American brown ale with a bit of smokey character to help it stand out from others.

12oz bottle. Currently categorized as a"Smoked". Not really accurate, as this is a pretty straightforward Brown Ale. I’m really having to search to find any smoke among the brown sugary caramel malt tones. Approaching full bodied, rather rich and heavy with its unfiltered body. Respectable offering for sure.
