Naked Sunbather nut brown ale is–well–nutty and smooth with bold roast character. Featuring delicate northwest hops, this earthy ale will satisfy year-round.<br><br>Silver Medal: Bull Creek Brown Ale – Springfield Brewing Co. – Springfield, MO<br><br> 5.0% ABV<br><br>Notes from Brewery : Bull Creek Brown Ale is a medium bodied brown ale with a nuttiness from the Brown malt used in the mash. A subtle caramel note from the Crystal malt and a subtle chocolate/roasty flavor from the Chocolate malt balance the overall malt profile. The malt profile is balanced by a significant but not overwhelming cascade hop finish. We named this beer for one of our favorite local waterways. Bull Creek is a pristine creek located between Ozark and Branson on the east side of Highway 65.<br><br>Craft Beer Storm Website: <a href="http://www.craftbeerstorm.com" rel="noopener">www.craftbeerstorm.com</a><br><br> <br>If your Company, Hotel or Restaurant wants to book a CraftBeer Weekend or Craft Beer Evening for your guests or employees send an email to <a href="mailto:Michael@craftbeerstorm.com">Michael@craftbeerstorm.com</a> <br><br>Linked In: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/craft-beer-storm-podcast-30776075/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/craft-beer-storm-podcast-30776075/</a><br><br><br>Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: <br><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2" rel="noopener">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2</a><br><br>*** A Top 20 Podcast in Food on iTunes ***<br><br>Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NH<br><br>*** Interested in starting your own brewery?
