One of the flagship styles from Bill’s Brewing Co. in Wilmington, the Honey Drip Brown Ale received a gold medal at the 2023 US Open Beer Championship, and is a favorite of Mike Lyons, owner of The Corner Biergarten in Fuquay-Varina. “It’s malty, not hoppy like an IPA,” says Lyons. “A little sweet, but balanced. It appeals to a lot of people because it’s not too much in any direction.”
Brown ales often have toasty, chocolate, or caramel flavor notes and rich color.
Bill’s Brewing Co. is also known for their Pillow Talk pilsner and Electric Squeeze hazy IPA. Pick them up at The Corner Biergarten.
