Pub Ale for the Autumn and Winter.
A continuation of Blackjack's fascination with the classic beer styles of the UK pub, Brown Ale sees our stock hop Bramling Cross nestle in a nutty and sweet malty body.
A style born of the Victorian industrial revolution its place on the bar has mainly been lost to history thanks to the dominance of the Best Bitters and London Porters that came to dominate the brown adjacent beers of the UK. Resurrected in parts of the UK you'll find regional enclaves of dedicated followers.
Manns Brown Ale is often seen as the archetype and was first made in the early 1900's as a divergence away from the IPA's and Stouts already dominating the taps and stores of London. We've brought this attitude up to date with a more modern ABV but keeping that original design of a nutty, sweet brown ale to act as a point of difference in a world still dominated by the IPA.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 17th October 2023. Deep reddish brown with pale tan foam and full lacing. Rich, nutty malts aroma. Malty in-mouth with caramel and nuttiness - hazelnut. A finish reflecting the liquid drain. Full bodied with a velvet smooth mouthfeel. Superb.

Cask @ Port Street Beer House, Manchester. Dark clear amber with a creamy head. Good roasted aroma, more 'brown ale' in its taste.
