Hoppy May Day Brewers, Distillers and Drinkers!

May is well upon us—the sunsets are drawing earlier, the rain is rolling in, and it’s time to reach for the firestarters and rug up for the daily commute. It’s the exact time of year we naturally start seeking out darker, richer, malt-forward flavors to take off the chill. And just as the real Eastern Brown Snake vanishes into its burrow for winter brumation, it is the perfect moment to bring a different kind of beast into your brewery with our Eastern Brown Snake American Brown Ale recipe kit.
