  Lost Coast Raspberry Brown – Fruit gone wrong. 

  Fruity beers can go one of two ways. An awesome brew of fruity flavor, ala Stumptown Tart, or a nasty, syrup tinged nightmare like Lost Coast Raspberry Brown. I mean this stuff is terrible. What would possess them to make something that tastes like Raspberry Syrup poured into Brown Ale is beyond me. I assume there is a Brown Ale in there somewhere, but its hard to tell past the pucker.

  Because Lost Coast’s Downtown Brown is so good, I will chalk this one up to the brewers having too many evenings over in “herbal” Aracata. Now that i think about it, I guess that explains the wrappers.

    Hmmm. I had this ale last night at the bullpen and thought it was very refreshing! although I only had a few sips and gave the rest to my girlfriend who enjoys rasberry sweet stuff. Anyway, this deserves 2 mugs at least!

    To be fair, the bottle I drank looked like it had been sitting around for a while. For a reason maybe?

  Downtown Brown is dark goodness 

  Humboldt is cool. ANd right next to Humboldt is the Lost Coast Brewery. They make Downtown Brown Ale, and damn if it isn’t the best easy drinking winter beer I’ve had this season. I won’t be wordy, other than to say ignore the goofy wrapper and drink it anyway.
