While we often focus our efforts on bold and popular craft beer recipes here at Mr. Beer, we’re not so terribly highbrow. We can all admit to consuming some Old English, Colt 45, Steel Reserve or Mickey’s at a backyard kickback at one time or another. So we thought we’d craft our own malt liquor recipe for homebrewers who want something strong and malty to drink. Since we all recognize that 40 oz. malt liquor bottles are handed to you in a brown bag, we thought we’d name this one the Brown Bag Special.

STORY:
While we often focus our efforts on bold and popular craft beer recipes here at Mr. Beer, we’re not so terribly highbrow. We can all admit to consuming some Old English, Colt 45, Steel Reserve or Mickey’s at a backyard kickback at one time or another. So we thought we’d craft our own malt liquor recipe for homebrewers who want something strong and malty to drink. Since we all recognize that 40 oz. malt liquor bottles are handed to you in a brown bag, we thought we’d name this one the Brown Bag Special.
PROFILE:
A result of a Mr. Beer experiment, this clear, golden-colored beer was intended to be a close representation of the classic “malt liquor” style, but it ended up drinking like a top shelf craft beer. The liberal addition of corn adjuncts gives this beer a malty grain aroma and sweetness that is slightly balanced by the addition of Nugget hops. While this beer is easy to drink, a slight warming from the alcohol will remind you to please drink it in moderation because this isn’t your average lager.
