Beer Review: Backdraft Brown by Hook & Ladder
A FEW MONTHS AGO I WROTE ABOUT A FLANK STEAK I MARINATED IN BACKDRAFT BROWN. IF YOU MISSED THAT POST CHECK IT OUT HERE. BACKDRAFT BROWN IS BREWED BY HOOK & LADDER BREWING CO. IN MARYLAND. WHILE MANY BREWERIES DO CHARITABLE WORK OR SPONSORSHIPS, HOOK & LADDER HAS PLEDGED A PENNY FROM EACH PINT AND A QUARTER FROM EACH CASE TO BURNED FIREFIGHTERS AND OTHER BURN VICTIMS. THE BREWERY IS RUN BY TWO BROTHERS. ONE OF THE BROTHERS IS A FIREFIGHTER, AND CLEARLY WANTED TO STAY CONNECTED TO HIS ROOTS. THE BROTHERS EVEN BREW NEAR WHERE THEY GREW UP.
TASTING NOTES:
POURED A DARK BROWN INTO A SHAKER PINT WITH A NICE OFF-WHITE HEAD. BACKDRAFT BROWN HAS A NUTTY AROMA WITH NOTES OF CARAMEL AND ROAST. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A HOP AROMA WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS PREVALENT IN BROWN ALES. FLAVORS OF MALT CHOCOLATE AND A SLIGHT HINT OF SMOKE COME FROM THIS LIGHT BODIED BEER. IT IS AN EASY DRINKING BEER THAT IS NOT OVERPOWERING ALLOWING YOU MORE THAN ONE.
PAIRING SUGGESTION: STEAK
