Beers similar to Fat Squirrel

Brown Ale·United States·5.8% ABV·One of 129 Brown Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Fat Squirrel's malty and nutty character. Hazelnut notes and a malty character mark this bottle-conditioned, unfiltered nut brown ale. Eight barley malts give it its toasted tawny hue, Pacific Northwest hops and aging on toasted oak provide the structure. The name comes from Brewmaster Dan, who came home one deceptively spring-like winter day talking about the fat squirrels running around the neighborhood. 5.8% ABV, 30 IBU.
