-Ninkasi Brewery

[humann_brewing]

Then why do you live in Springfield?

Ninkasi beers used to be incredibly variable. One batch would be great, another so loaded with diacetyl that you'd think you were eating movie popcorn. Their new system has helped their quality a lot.

good to know they could do that and still be so successful. Must be something in the water

the believer is a double red ale not brown

"I have been working on a brown ale that tastes very close to Believer (IMHO)"

Emphasis on the bolded words!

I found 10C-Amercian Brown Ale, I could not find a category for Double Red though!
