Anchor Brewing pays homage to its long standing history with "Brekle's Brown". Gottlieb Brekle was the owner and brewmaster of a brewery, which in 1896 would come to be known as Anchor Brewing. This is a very unique yet simple beer. An all malt based beer which is then single hopped using a relatively new hop called Citra. The rich roasted malt blend of Two Row Pale, Munich and Caramel malts are wonderfully offset by the lemony citrus and peach character of the Citra hop. As expected Berkle's is all malt up-front with a hop tinge on the finish. Very sessionable at 6% ABV, I found this beer to be very reminiscent of an old school English Brown Ale, with a tad more character.
Relatively new to the Anchor portfolio, Brekle's was first brewed in 2010 by Brewmaster Mark Carpenter in celebration of the 140 year history of Anchor Brewing Co. This is defiantly one of best the Brown Ales in the market. So hunt it down, you won't be sorry. Cheers!
