- Brooklyn Brown Ale ABV 6%
- Born in Brooklyn, this American brown ale's roasted malt flavor is the perfect complement for posole's savory browned pork. Its mild hoppiness dances with the lively flavors of radish and cilantro, and its subtle hints of stone fruit and chocolate add a degree of warmth to this quintessential Mexican comfort food.
