Remember going to a Jack’s Abbey tap takeover in the late 2000s or early 2010s and they had a small variety of “Berliner Braun” beers. Some with fruit, some barrel aged. https://jacksabby.com/beers/berliner-braun/
I've usually found "Braunbier" pretty similar to Franconian "Dunkel",which are usually lighter in Colour than Munich-style Dunkel.
Never apologize ever ... I clicked on the thread to scroll down as quickly as possible to find your historical answer. (No offense to the OP nor any of you other beautiful BAs. ) Thanks for all you do. Cheers!
I saw this post you made in the German vs. Local thread, but it answers one of the original questions I asked in this thread about any other American breweries labeling beers as Braunbier. Looks like Schilling is a brewery that does, which for them to be referencing a more obscure European style or sub-style does not surprise me.
