BrewCraft Heather n Honey Deep Brown Kit
A variation on an American style of brown ale, this beer is heavier and darker than typical English brown ales. It also has the unusual addition of wild-harvested Scottish Heather tips in place of flavor and aroma hops, for a unique floral/herbal twist. Heather was once used for both medicinal and flavoring purposes in ancient Scottish and English ales before hops were readily available. Nowadays it is used to create a stand-apart brown ale by brewers in both the UK and US. We include rare Meadowfoam honey which has a “caramel-marshmallow” flavor and aroma; we think it’s ideally suited to complement the flavors and aromas of toasted brown malt and heather in this beer.
