PBC’s Super Trooper English Brown Ale
Bottoms Up
By Eric Cox | Sept. 21, 2019
Petoskey Brewing Company’s Super Trooper English Brown Ale (7.3% ABV, 12 IBU) not only serves a beer-hungry gullet but also protects a discerning palette, sheltering it from other, perhaps more felonious brews. In keeping with honorable police traditions, Petoskey Brewing Co. brewers add to the brown mash a paddy wagon full of crushed cake donuts, the muted sweetness of which smooths this brown ale’s crispy finish. Handcuffed to Super Trooper’s front end is a smack of coffee, whose flavors rise gently, like latent fingerprints in a some amber-colored, malty crime lab. Perfect for a backyard stakeout or a covert fall bonfire operation, Super Trooper is a stout public servant worthy of praise and respect; Petoskey Brewing Company (PBC) pledges 10 percent of each Super Trooper to Michigan C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors), an organization that assists the surviving families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. For a satisfying autumn snack, pair Super Trooper with PBC’s delicious Bavarian-style pretzel sticks. But beware … such actions can be construed as violations of the Good Diet Act, Section 1, Article Ate. Find Petoskey Brewing Company at 1844 M-119, between Petoskey and Harbor Springs.
