830. 4204 Main St. Brewing – Pecan Brown Ale
My daughter is dancing in the nutcracker this weekend, and had a performance today. I had to leave work early to go pick her up. I’ve got a little bit of time to kill before my dad and sister get here to stay the weekend and watch her dance. My sister brought a six pack of this beer last weekend when she came for Thanksgiving. It sounded like a good beer to have on a cold, gray day like today. Location: Poured into a tall thin...
786. Triton Brewing – Nutty Professor Peanut Butter Brown Ale
It’s been pretty busy at work, and I’ve been looking forward to breaking this one open. So, when I got home and had dinner, I was ready for it. This is another beer from my friend Kevin from Indianapolis. Before his visit last week, he called and gave me a choice of several beers that were on tap. He suggested their French toast saison (which sounds awesome), but ever since I brewed a peanut butter cup stout a few years...
726. Ale Asylum – Madtown Nutbrown
I’m winding down my last few days at work, so my days haven’t been too bad. Tonight, we took the kids out to dinner. When we got home, it was such an awesome night outside, I decided to grab a beer out of the fridge, sit on the deck, and do a beer review. I picked up this beer on one of our trips up to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, when we stopped at a gas station in Wisconsin Dells. There’s no “Best enjoyed...
720. Mankato Brewery – Leaf Raker Nut Brown Ale
It’s a Friday night, and I got home from work and fell asleep. Since it’s already kind of late, we ordered a pizza and decided to watch some TV. While waiting for the pizza guy, I thought I’d crack open a beer for a review. I picked this one up last fall when we were up in Minnesota for a family event. It was part of a Mankato Brewery variety pack. Location: Poured into a curved pint glass at my home in Bloomington,...
661. Pennsylvania Brewing Co. – Nut Roll Ale Winter Ale
I just finished dinner, along with a great dessert my wife made with crescent rolls and marshmellows. I’ve got several beer reviews to catch up on from our Tales, Taverns & Towns tour of Chicago last weekend, but I didn’t want that to stop me from enjoying one tonight. This beer was given to me by my sister and dad, from their trip to Pittsburgh a while ago. I’ve been waiting to enjoy this until the holidays, and...
563. Illinois Brewing Co. – Big Beaver Brown Ale
As I mentioned in my last post, when I reviewed Illinois Brewing Co.’ s Big John Barley Wine, I’m at Illinois Brewing Co. today brewing a batch on their system for our homebrew club’s barrel project. We finally finished up our brew, and while the snow is really coming down outside, we sat at the bar and enjoyed a beer inside. Behind the barleywine, this was the next most interesting for me on their house tap list....
335. Broadway Brewery – Nut Brown Ale
After a great day yesterday, hitting 4 microbreweries in St. Louis, I’m in Columbia, MO today for a golf tournament. We’ve already had a long day with a ton of Bud Select on the course, and now we’re out for a few beers at Broadway Brewery. For my first beer, I had the Broadway Brewery APA, but didn’t realize that I had already done a review of that beer when I was in town for the same golf tournament last...
318. BJ’s Brewhouse McAllen, TX – Nutty Brewnette Draft
As I mentioned in my last couple posts, I’m in McAllen, Texas for work for a couple days. We were actually in McAllen almost exactly a year ago, and during that trip, we discovered BJ’s Brewhouse. That’s when I was able to try their Piranha Pale Ale and Jeremiah Red Irish Strong Ale. I remembered the atmosphere and food were nice and the beer was decent, so we decided to stop here again for dinner before heading...
313. Lazy Magnolia – Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale Draft
I’m in Nashville for work and went to the Flying Saucer for dinner to hopefully try a couple new beers. They had a ton of beers on tap (as you can see a small sample of their enormous tap wall in the picture here). The bartender was great, letting me sample 4-5 different beers before finally making my selection. After dinner, this sounded like a good one to have as a beer dessert, as the menu said, “Southern Pecan Nut...
269. Tommyknocker Brewery – Imperial Nut Brown Ale
I was at the liquor store several months back and found this one. I remember their Nut Brown Ale being pretty good when we stopped by the brewery several years back. So, when I saw an imperial version, and when I read that it was, “Brewed with pure maple syrup,” I knew I had to give it a try. I have no idea how old it was when I bought it, but it’s been in the beer fridge for about a year, so even from the outside...
