Old Nation – Electron Brown Double Brown Ale

Today I’m looking at Electron Brown from Old Nation Brewing in Williamston, Michigan.  You probably know Old Nation for their New England Style IPAs like Boss Tweed, M-43 or even Cart Horse and Greenstone.  But, Old Nation didn’t start off just doing NE IPAs.  I’m going to look today at a tried and true style, the Brown Ale, and in the case of Electron Brown, it’s a espresso brewed double brown ale.  Does this brown ale stay mild and smooth, or does it have another trick up it’s sleeve?  Watch and learn!

Behold, a 9.3% double New England style IPA from the Michigan masters at Old Nation. Haze is good, and this beer is a testament to that. The sweetness of M43, and the balance hoppy bitterness of Boxer NE IPA had a love child, and that love child is Boss Tweed. Prepare to be hazed.

Malt Liquor – it’s not just for 40oz anymore. Old Nation Brewing and Dark Horse Brewing Company have collaborated on “The German Hobo” – an 11.9% ABV Malt Liquor that is deceptively smooth. This one had me laying on my couch for a while after I was done. (more…)

Old Nation Brewing’s Boxer NE IPA Review

I’m back again with yet another Old Nation Brewing New England IPA.  I can honestly not get enough of these.  I think this is probably the most excited and interested in a beer style since I stopped drinking IPAs the first time around.  I feel like I’m going out of my way to get my hands on as many NE IPAs as possible – is Boxer going to make me want to change my ways?  Watch the video below to see!
