This Mother Of All Beers has come a long way since its murky beginnings as the first beer style ever produced. A clear, brown, lightly malted beverage with nutty overtones, brown ale was originally one of the three beers, or three threads, blended together to make a beer that eventually inspired the creation of porter. While brown ale has all but disappeared in England, its country of origin, this beer style is riding a wave of popularity in the United States. Brown ale is a style that will continue to bring drinking pleasure and brewing challenges to beer lovers for years to come. 239 pages.
