What can “brown” do for you? Our latest Brewmaster’s Obsession Series ale turns your world upside down. The use of wild Brettanomyces yeast makes the beer more complex – yet magically more drinkable at the same time. The challenge to tame wild yeast is an obsession that drives our brewers, and fuels a passion for making great beer. Upside Brown has a dark amber,deep copper hue with good clarity and a slightly off-white head. Fruit-filled aromas are dominated by pineapple and cherry, rounded out with a touch of farmyard funk. Sweet malt character is balanced by brett tartness with underlying flavors of cherry and dark fruits. Lively carbonation, dry and tart with a medium-light body. This fine ale can also evolve - cellar for a dryer and more pronounced brett presence.

    WATCH OUT IF YOU GET THIS IN A BOTTLE!!! My sample popped and fizzed like champagne in the Broncos’ locker room after Super Bowl 50. Took me 4-5 minutes and two thirsty towels to clean up the mess. Well, at least my computer survived. When it settles down, it pours hazy chocolate brown with a thin buff head. Aroma features tempting fruity, toasted malt and funky notes. Flavor delivers more funkiness and a hint of caramel, as well as fruity and subtle malty character. Mouthfeel presents so-so body and typical fizz. Despite the drawbacks, enjoy. Upside down you’re brewing me, you’re giving beer instinctively!

    Bottle - 750mL corked and caged. Aroma is rather funky yeast along with soft toasted malt, and grains with some fruit mixed in. Taste is funky yeast, toasted malt, light grains and fruit notes. Body is medium with a strong, bubbly carbonation. Finishes with more funky yeast, toasted malt, grains, light fruit, cocoa and light earthy notes.
