A few months ago I wrote about a flank steak I marinated in Backdraft Brown. If you missed that post check it out here. Backdraft Brown is brewed by Hook & Ladder Brewing Co. in Maryland. While many breweries do charitable work or sponsorships, Hook & Ladder has pledged a penny from each pint and a quarter from each case to burned firefighters and other burn victims. The brewery is run by two brothers. One of the brothers is a firefighter, and clearly wanted to stay connected to his roots. The brothers even brew near where they grew up.
Tasting Notes:
Poured a dark brown into a shaker pint with a nice off-white head. Backdraft Brown has a nutty aroma with notes of caramel and roast. Additionally, there was a hop aroma which is not always prevalent in brown ales. Flavors of malt chocolate and a slight hint of smoke come from this light bodied beer. It is an easy drinking beer that is not overpowering allowing you more than one.
Pairing Suggestion: Steak
