A close second to the
Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale in my opinion is the
Brooklyn Brown. A know a number of big fans of
Newcastle Brown Ale who rate the Brooklyn Brown as similar in
flavor and
consistency - although I find the Brown much
thicker,
richer and a better beer overall. If you're personally
fond of
porters I think you'll find the Brooklyn Brown slightly
closer to your tastes than the Newcastle.
Brewed at the Brooklyn Brewery.
