Janet’s Brown Ale is an American Style Brown Ale features Cascade and Centennial hops with chocolate and light caramel malts which combine for a toasty and chocolate-like malt body dry hopped with American hops for an elevated hop aroma.

This beer is a tribute to Mike "Tasty" McDole, one of the most prolific and well known homebrewers in the world. He passed away late last year after a battle with cancer. Janet's Brown Ale was an open source recipe he provided to home brewers and pro brewers and it has since been made all over the world.

”Tasty was always generous with his time, with his advice, his homebrew and with his treats. The way he would give feedback on beers was constructive, real and without fail, kind. He influenced countless homebrewers and probrewers through his time on the Brewing Network or just chatting at a beer festival or conference. He will be sorely missed around festivals and Bay Area pubs when we can all gather again.”

What’s the deal with all the Mellowwood beers? We’re glad you asked. The Mellowwood series kicked off last year with the release of Mellowwood Pilsner and since then we’ve released Mellowwood Rauchbier, Mellowwood Maibock and Mellowwood Festbier.

All of the beers in the Mellowwood series have one thing in common — each of them has been lagered for up to 60 days in oak barrels instead of in stainless tanks.

Every beer reacts differently this process but they all share mild oak characteristics without being too intense or overpowering the beer.

We’re thrilled with how the beers in this series have turned out and will continue to add more in the future

.Got a question for us? Leave it below and it might get featured in one of our future posts!

Q: I noticed you have a few beers that are called “Isolate”…what’s up with that? ⠀
⠀
A: Great question! We kicked off our Isolate series last year with the release of Isolate Strata. Each beer in this series uses the same recipe with a single hop variety. By changing the hop each time we are able to isolate, analyze and evaluate the characteristics of each hop. ⠀
⠀
This gives you, the drinker, a chance to taste the hops in all their glory and see how a single hop can impact the flavor of a beer. It also gives us the chance to provide feedback to the growers which helps them determine which hops will be propagated for future harvest and helps us determine which hops will be used again in our own beers. ⠀

Isolate Simcoe is the most recent release in our Isolate series and features 100% hand selected Simcoe hops. Pick up a 4-pack here at the pub or try it on draft next time you stop in.
