2 Brewers 1 Pint

Which came first, the beer or the name?

In this case the name came first over a few shared pints with the BBC brewers. For those unfamiliar with the reference, some might consider you lucky. After coming up with the name we needed to create a brew to match. So off we went to the Louisville Beer Store for some more brainstorming. The resulting creation is a German/Indian Bropwn Ale. The two Malts we selected were Golden Promise and Brown Malt. To make this Brown Ale unique we fermented it with a Berliner Weisse yeast and large late hop additions of German Hallertau Hops. The addition of Jaggery, a palm sugar from India, provides a nutty aromaas well as a dryness to the final product. Two batches of this beer were brewed, one each at Cumberland Brewery and BBC (St Matthews). Although brewed to the same recipe, it will be interesting to note the slight differences that come form the different set of equipment at each brewery.
