Love Shack Brewing English Brown

Brown ales were a relatively common sight in Australia during craft beer's early days but, as beers have become leaner and hoppier, breweries haven’t always found a way to connect the drinking public with the humble English brown.

But Love Shack is no ordinary brewery and much of their appeal lies in the way they offer a glimpse into days gone by, when life was simpler and more beer was brown. Their regularly returning Brown Ale is enough to transport you from Castlemaine to Newcastle (and not the Australian one either), thanks to the way it combines chocolate, coffee, hazelnuts and raisins to create a truly classic British beer.
