History
In the eighteenth century, British brown ales were brewed to a variety of strengths, but they died out around 1800 as brewers moved away from using brown malt as a base. Pale malt, being cheaper because of its higher yield, was used as a base for all beers, including Porter and Stout.
The term "brown ale" was revived at the end of the nineteenth century when London brewer Mann introduced a beer with that name. However, the style only became widely-brewed in the 1920s. The introduction of these beers coincided with a big increase in demand for bottled beer in the UK.
Tasting Notes
Gentle to moderate malt sweetness, with a nutty, lightly caramelly character and a medium-dry to dry finish. Malt may also have a toasted, biscuity, or toffee-like character. Medium to medium-low bitterness.
Matching with Food
Delicious with barbeques, Pasta, or even chocolate/caramel desserts
Summary
Something with a smooth rich flavour yet still incredibly easy to drink! Cheers!
