Beer 373 - Bear Republic Tribute Ale - Pete Brown (4.5 stars out of 5)
Brewed and bottled by Bear Republic Brewing Company, Healdsburg, Cloverdale, CA. Bought at HEB in Cinco Ranch and drunk at home in Katy, TX while chopping tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and sausage to enhance a DiGiorno four cheese pizza for dinner. Sofia and Patricia are working on Sofia's summer calculus home study class.

The web site says "Peter Brown Tribute Ale™, American Brown Ale, ABV: 6.3% IBU: 21 Color: Brown
Peter Brown Tribute Ale is malty American Brown Ale, brewed with molasses, brown sugar, and hopped with Cascade and Centennial. It's just the way Pete would have wanted it."
The bottle adds "In loving memory. Tribute Ale is our rendition of an American Brown Ale. This ale pays homage to subtle nuances of golden brown sugars and sweet molasses. Just the way Pete would have wanted it.... Here's to you Peter Brown, Sales Manager, our "million dollar man". Brew Masters notes - Keep cold, respect life, give more hugs, make beer not bombs, real ale is alive, yeast is good, serve at 45 - 50 deg f. Come visit us at our pub and brewery, Sonoma County Ales."
I enjoyed this beer, it had excelent flavor and a nice body. A very good example of an American brown ale.
People with much better taste buds than mine enjoy the flavor of this beer, the Beer Advocate web site (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/610/12531) gives the beer a B+, the Rate Beer web site (http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=24423&FanOfID=5356) gives it a score of 92 overall and a 97 for the Brown Ale style and the Beer Pal web site (http://www.beerpal.com/Bear-Republic-Pete-Brown-Tribute-Ale-Beer/12129/) puts it at 98.9 percentile in Brown Ales. - the eighth best out of 627 brown ales.
