Bell’s Best Brown: Labor Day & New Art
Bell’s Best Brown Ale will arrive after Labor Day this year. For 2013, the iconic fall offering has received a little artwork tweak. Brown will be available in 12oz bottles, and draft, and mini kegs.
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
5.8% ABV
