Notes

It's President's Day; a perfect holiday to brew on, especially since many of our founding fathers used to brew their own beer too. At one point, in early American history, brown ales were as popular as commercial lagers, like Budweiser, are today. I created and brewed this recipe this morning. It's is a solid Northern English style brown ale. The use of the brown and victory malts will contribute the nutty flavors and the use of 12 oz of honey and crystal malts will add subtle sweet flavors that will make this a very delicious beer. Cheers, Washington!
