Espiga English Brown Ale

English Brown Ale is one of the best-known and most popular beer styles on the island The classic brew has a long tradition and is roughly divided into two styles: The version from the north of England is characterized by its rather dry, roasted malty character, while the examples from the south are sweeter and more uncomplicated Both variants share the deep brown body and the wonderfully full-bodied richness of different malts The plus of grain in different roasting states gives the brown ale a potpourri of nut and chocolate notes and a grippy, velvety-soft texture In contrast to American beer creations, the brown ale contains significantly less hops and is prepared with special ale yeasts from England

Like many beer styles from times long past, English Brown Ale is currently experiencing a small renaissance: craft brewers are taking up the traditional style and catapulting it into the present using the latest brewing technology and unconventional ingredients

A contemporary interpretation of the British favorite is the English Brown Ale from Espiga Their version brings a good 6.0% alcohol content into the glass and combines the malt variety with an extra portion of hops The brewers from Barcelona have a whole range of trendy craft beers in their range, but with their English ale they prove that they are masters of both contemporary beers and tried-and-tested classics
