tilmans brown ale

Brown Ale is a traditional English beer style prized for its nutty, caramel-like malt notes and harmonious balance between soft sweetness and contrasting bitterness. While brews of this style were once found almost exclusively in the pubs of Northern England, they have now made their way into the craft beer scene and are being brewed in exciting interpretations around the world.

Tilman Ludwig provides an excellent example with his Tilman's Brown Ale – a contemporary version that combines English brewing tradition with American aroma hops. A classic English yeast strain ties in with the beer's roots, while Citra and Centennial hops from Washington's Yakima region add a modern touch. The ale, with its deep brown color of porcini mushroom caps, combines traditional craftsmanship, creativity, and the finest ingredients from regional and international sources.

Tilman's Brown Ale has reddish-brown highlights and a fine-pored, slightly tinted head. Fruity notes of orange, lemon, and a hint of pine unfold on the nose. The initial sip brings a delicate malt sweetness with hints of caramel, raisins, and roasted nuts to the palate. A tangy citrus note adds lightness before a clear, tart bitterness concludes the beer.

The delicious combination of traditional beer style, modern raw materials, and a contemporary approach gives us a drinkable beer that's fun to drink!
