Although founded in the early 1900s, Beaverdale remains one of the most distinctive neighborhoods in the entire Des Moines metro area today. It’s known for well built, neo-Tudor “Beaverdale brick” homes and its active, neighborhood-minded residents. We built the Beaverdale Brick Amber Ale to be as distinctive and beloved as its namesake neighborhood by using English two-row barley malt and English caramel malt with American Simcoe hops for bittering. Zythos hops (a Hop Union blend) were used for late kettle (close to the end of the boil), whirlpool and dry-hopping. The result is a neighborly amber brew with fairly dry, biscuity flavor and medium bitterness with notes of tropical fruit and pine on the nose.

Made "using English two-row barley malt and English caramel malt with American Simcoe hops for bittering. Zythos hops (a Hop Union blend) were used for late kettle (close to the end of the boil), whirlpool and dry-hopping." IBU = 32

Clear red-amber; small but durable head.

Aroma of caramel and light malts with a hint of golden raisins.

Excellent sweet/bitter balance with a touch of sweet malt up front and a mildly bitter (and hoppy) finish.

Slightly more hoppy than usual for style.
