2 Brothers Grizz

Amber ale - 5.7% ABV

The Grizz is the new seasonal offering from the 2 Brothers lads and if they’re previous seasonals are anything to go by then there are some mighty bold shoes that are to be filled. 

This amber ale is a step back to normality. 

2 Brothers have got the ability to produce some really subtle and balanced flavours in their beers and this new seasonal is a shining example of that. 

In the past few seasonals such as the Voodoo, the James Brown and the Guvnor the subtlety was overshadowed by the sheer boldness that each of those beers presented. 

The Grizz returns to the delicate structure that makes the Growler such an enjoyable and sessionable beer. 

I had this beer on tap down at the 2 Brothers Beer Hall in Moorabbin and have since picked up a couple of bottles from Slowbeer and I find that this actually picks up some characteristics that it lacked on tap. I’ll be heading back down to the brewery to try it again and see if has settled down a bit. 

The Grizz starts off with a lovely, sweet malty mouthfeel and instantly shows some flashes of spice and toffee sweetness, but without being too much to process. 

This is a very solid amber ale that I would be happy to session, especially in the colder months. 

I would really like to see this beer become a regular beer in the repertoire of the 2 Brothers, but I really don’t have any influence in any industry let alone the craft beer industry. 

It’s just an idea.
