Winterbraun seasonal English Brown Ale from Lost Coast Brewery on Tap!

The Independent Bar Tampa keeps several Lost Coast brews cycling on tap, and Fall to Wintertime brings us Winterbraun, Lost Coast Brewry's take on an English Brown Ale. 

6.5% ABV keeps things reasonable, and roasted chocolate and caramel malts give it a rich taste. Czech Saaz Hops contribute to a spiced flavor and aroma.

But how does it taste? Excellent. An easy to drink brown ale, it lacks the cloistering sweetness that some of the higher alcohol content seasonal offerings tend to have, and finishes clean in the mouth, without a strong after taste.

The pour is medium brown, and sits lighter in the mouth than you would expect from this sort of ale, It has a nice light carbonation that pours a small white head, and adds to the taste, and the silky mouth feel. 

A very drinkable English Brown Ale. Available on tap while it lasts at the Independent Bar Tampa.

Evil Twin Cowboy, a "Smoked Pilsner" on Draft at the Independent bar Tampa

Smokey Pilsner: Evil Twin Cowboy now on draft at the Independent Bar TampaA Smoked Pilsner, Evil Twin Cowboy also comes with a sense of humor: 

I need to know what kind of beer cowboys drink, as I have recently become one. I want to be the best cowboy  I can be, and I think drinking the correct beer is important. I already have a cowboy hat and nice big shiny buckle. 

While we can't guarantee this beer will make your a bronco buster, it's a nice place to start. 

Style: Pilsner (Smoked)

Ommegang Scythe and Sickle Harvest on tap at Independent Bar Tampa

Ommegang Scythe and Sickle Harvest now on tap at the Independent Bar & Face Tampa. 

From Ommegang: 

Scythe & Sickle Harvest Ale is brewed with barley, wheat, oats and rye. Scythe and sickle is a seasonal brew that celebrates the richness of the grain harvest. Brewed with barley, wheat, oats and – in a nod to traditional upstate New York grains – rye, this fine ale is malty and creamy on the palate. The flavors of the grains and earth shine through. Enjoy the refreshment of the season and joys of fine brewing.

With the funk and wild yeast of saison, this primitive Ale is earthy and flavorful. 

ABV 5.8%
