Vendome Liquor in Toluca Lake had that out for me to look at but I passed on it because it's a brown ale, which isn't my cup of tea. I'll give it a go next time I visit that place, if they have it.

I don't like brown ales either. Mitchrock actually convinced me to try it. Them calling it a brown is a bit deceiving. It's literally one of the best beers I have ever had

Brown Ales are hit or miss, same with red/ambers. Although, I'd take a brown ale over a red any day of the week.

Dogfish Head's Indian Brown Ale is phenomenal.

Here are some other great browns that come to mind:

Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale
Rogue Hazelnut Nectar
Greenflash Nut Brown Ale
Sierra Nevada Brown Ale

I picked up a Nogne O Brown Ale from Holiday Wine Cellar last weekend in Escondido, and will report back once I have consumed it.

Hey did you ever try the Palo Santo? I try to keep up with this thread but might have missed it......

Also how is the Sierra Nevada brown?

Sierra Nevada Brown is great. Definitely go to Pizza Port Solana Beach since they have it on tap. I am pretty sure that beer isn't bottled anymore.

Still haven't come across the Palo Santo yet.....

Beer makes me feel all funny inside!

**DougW8** · October 9th, 2008, 12:35 PM

Brooklyn Brown is probably the best brown ale I've ever had, but it's only available back east.

I just went to a BBQ for the LAist in Echo Park hills and besides all the amazing foods and tasty dips and some bartender sent by a booze company to make some Brazilian drinks, they had a keg of Craftsman beer from Pasadena. I've never heard of it but it was a quality dark golden brew with a nice taste and just enough bite. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed a few cups.

I wonder if they sell it in stores? Anyone seen it?

Craftsman Brewing Company, Pasadena California Micro Brewery

their beers are ok. it's just a pub brewery.

edit: actually, Luck Baldwins would be the name of the pub that exclusively serves Craftsman beers, as far as I know. http://www.luckybaldwins.com/

Fooferah would have more info about them.

Just picked up a 6er of Road Dog Porter yesterday. Good stuff.

This stuff friggin rules! I just buy random beers sometimes to see how I like them. I've tasted a lot of crappy stuff in my day but Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale is wonderful!

This week I tried Red Rocket Ale and it sucked. My roommate bought Anderson Valley Brewing Boont ESB and that was actually really good.
