Fall is always close by when Bell’s Best Brown is nearby. Cooler weather and brown ales are a match
made in heaven.
A smooth, toasty brown ale, Best Brown Ale is a mainstay in our fall & winter lineup. With hints of caramel and cocoa, the malt body has the depth to stand up to cool weather, but does not come across as heavy. This balancing act is aided by the generous use of American hops.
Style: Brown Ale
Taste Expectations: Caramel & toffee. Earthy hops, brown sugar. Some cocoa, and nuts. Leaves changing and cool evenings anyone?
Availability: 12oz/6pks. 5 Liter Mini keg. Draft. Fall seasonal.
5.8% ABV
Cigar City Brewing’s Improvisación got a shorter name and a much longer description. AND since I took the time to write out the description, I think you should take some time to read it. Improv is a brown ale, IPA, rye beer, with oatmeal. It’s a hot mess.
Label:
What you have here is an Oatmeal Rye India-style Brown Ale. Now you might be thinking oatmeal, rye, brown ale, India-style; isn’t that a lot to be going on in just one beer? Well, yes it is. But that is the point. Layers, Flavor elements building on and playing off of preceding elements, like a building wave; a growing crescendum of taste bud temptation; a wall of sound expressed through flavor a channeled toward your mouth. This beer isn’t for everyone. In many ways it is more than a little weird. It is certainly doesn’t fit into any category. It isn’t a brown ale, not just a brown ale anyway. It certainly isn’t a n IPA. Calling it a rye beer would be selling it shortIn the spirit of great things that are conceived in the moment, but perfected through passionate repetition it started life as an improvisation and grew from there and it might not be for you. But if the though of big spicy rye notes, a wallop of a hop punch, multitudinous layers of caramel, sweet almost, and a respectable balancing gravity sound intriguing then you might want o wing it and give Improv a try.
Style: American Brown Ale (-ish)
Availability: 750ml bottles. Seasonal, varying release dates.

Last Thursday, The Bruery opened up about their current capacity, lineup changes, & their future. Something I didn’t quite understand at the time (and overlooked) was that the title of the email I received was called “Project Quercus Maximus.” Nothing else was mentioned about the peculiar title, but I went with it. Now this little number has shown up, “Acer Quercus” a collaboration brewed with Sean Lawson of Lawson’s Finest Liquids.
Lawson’s is a small brewery based in Warren, Vermont. Every beer is brewed in very small batches, sold in a few select places in the Mad River Valley of Vermont. Acer Quercus is a collaboration that spans nearly the length of the United States in a maple and oak laden concoction.
A collaboration between The Bruery and Lawson’s Finest Liquids, this complex ale is seeping with Vermont maple syrup & maplewood smoked malt.
Maple Syrup & oak cubes. Sounds like a great fall release, or a pancake pairing. Oak cubes are literally little cubes of oak available at different toast levels (how bold the oak flavor expressed.) Vermont produces some of the best maple syrup in the world.
Style: Brown Ale
Availability: 750ml champagne style bottles. Areas TBD
Cellar? Yes
9.5% ABV
Lawson’s has an award winning small batch (less than 400 bottles) annual release each year around April. Sounds like Acer Quercus might have a little in common. Label below…
