Papa Bill's Brown Ale

97.08.23

This is yet another slight variation of our old faithful recipe. As usual, it produces a fairly light brown ale that wouldn't be identified as a Brown Ale if drunk with eyes shut. In that regard, it's likely what many people would call a North-American Brown Ale. As always, it is extremely popular.
