Beers similar to Grind-N-Shine

Cream Ale·United States·5.3% ABV·One of 34 Cream Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Grind-N-Shine's creamy and malty character. A light-bodied coffee cream ale that brings coffee beans and vanilla together, pairing early-morning flavor with a late-night finish. German noble hops and Brewers, Munich and caramel malts form the base. The brewery collaborated with local artist Toonky Berry on a Grind-N-Shine mural that can be seen at its taproom, and it calls the whole combination an enigma.
