Brown and Amber Ale

From the colour of a tasty chocolate syrup to a sparkling dark amber, brown and amber ales are as delicious as they look. The English versions of amber, mild and brown ales tend to present themselves with a delicious malty subtlety whereas the American styles are more balanced and even somewhat hoppy.

Amber and mild ales from the likes of Brewdog, Tiny Rebel or Siren Brew Co are known for their drinkability and are fantastic partners for a wide range of food; they're essentially bigger session ales. On the other hand, brown ales run the gamut from nutty and malty to clean and moderately hoppy— Founders and Evil Twin each have a delicious example of the style.
