Beers similar to Boomtown

Cream Ale·United States·4.5% ABV·One of 20 Cream Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Boomtown's bready and malty character. A cream ale built on Midwestern barley — one of the most under-loved American beer styles brought forward as a modern craft flagship. Light straw, gentle honey-and-biscuit sweetness, snap-dry finish, easy on hop character. Boomtown is Big Grove's answer to what a Midwest session beer should be. Sub-5% and quietly perfect.
