Amber and brown beers offer a rich malt character with varying levels of caramel, toasty, nutty, and chocolate flavors. These styles have roots in both European brewing traditions and modern American craft beer, providing a balanced profile that ranges from malt-forward to subtly hoppy.
Our Amber & Brown Beer Recipe Kits include both extract and all-grain options, developed by SoCal Brewing Supply and our close collaborators. These proven, award-winning recipes allow homebrewers to craft full-flavored, complex beers with ease.
Amber and brown ales typically ferment in the mid-60s°F range, ensuring proper yeast performance and balanced malt and hop expression.
