Brown Ale made with Ingredients Inspired by The Lord of the Rings

There's only a few references to beer in The Lord of the Rings, but with this recipe, i'm aiming to make (and sometimes really reach for) connections that result in a Brown ale that old Barliman Butterbur of the Prancing Pony would be proud to serve at his tavern.

    "The beer that Barnabas Barliman Butterbur served to Gandalf in Bree" has been my brewing goal for the past twenty years

    I like Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale. I always think about this when I have it haha. Very nice nutty flavor. Works well with cheeses and sliced meats

    Mine came with my RO system, so I'm not sure the exact name but you can find similar products by searching "faucet diverter valves" with a bunch of different output options!

    You likely are aware or have even been inspired by John Palmer's "'Belladonna Took's Oaked Mild" - he brewed it on talked about in a classic Brewing TV episode - kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGx21aiimcaqqLA.html

    "Oh you can search far and wide, You can drink the whole town dry, But you'll never find a beer so brown, As the one we drink in our hometown, You can drink your fancy ales, You can drink them by the flagon, But the only brew for the brave and true... ..Comes from the Green Dragon!"
