Honey Brown
Lager
I’ve long been a fan of J.W. Dundee’s Original Honey Brown beer. It’s a nice beer and almost always available at a low price. This beer is brewed by High Falls Brewery and their website has this to say about Honey Brown:
JW Dundee’s Honey Brown is the Original Honey Brown lager. First brewed in 1994, Honey Brown satisfies consumers looking for a fuller flavored but easy to drink beer with a crisp clean finish.
In brewing Honey Brown, we use a dark pilsner style lager and add just the right amount of Manitoba Wildflower Honey. This creates a smooth Honey flavor that fades to a crisp dry finish. We use just enough hops to dry out the honey’s sweetness without lending any unpleasant bitterness to the finish.
I’d have to say I pretty much agree with their description. The beer is extremely easy to drink, not that this is a beer made for chugging, on the contrary. There are a plethora of flavors in this beer worth savoring. It is very smooth and not very bitter; so if you’re a big fan of uber-bitter IPA’s this isn’t the beer for you, Dan. There are, however, enough hops to keep this beer from becoming a girly beer (aka Berry Weiss).
Overall this is a great beer and I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s enjoyable to drink. This is the kind of beer one desires after a long day of working hard out in the heat. Then, when you’ve got it in your tired fist it more than lives up to your expectations.

I am currently have the first beer of the last case I will every buy at $24.00 a case. Three weeks ago I paid $17.25 for a case of Honey Brown. That is a 40% increase. I love the beer but will not pay that price for a case.
Who do you think you are going to sell this beer to at that price?????

— j lake Apr 8, 05:06 PM #j lake, I don’t work for Honey Brown so I can’t tell you if anything operationally has changed with their distribution chain. I do know that their packaging and label design has changed recently so you want to try taking a closer look at your local beer store.

— rick May 7, 12:32 PM #rick, I’d try a local liquor store. Since I don’t live in MN and I have nothing to do with Honey Brown beer, other than occasionally drinking it, I’m probably not much help to you.
