COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the summer of 1858, Main Street in Kansas City was overrun by hogs. The city passed a "Hog Law" authorizing the city’s marshall to catch any of the porkers found roaming in the streets and throw them in a "Hog Pound". Hundreds of swine were apprehended and there owners had to pay fines for their release. A traditional English style Brown Ale, Hog Pound is a slightly sweet and mildly hopped with a smooth , pleasent flavor reminiscent of the Great Brown Ales from England.

Generic brown ale. Almost nothing to distinguish itself. It has some good flavors but too watery too recommend.

On tap. A foamy, off-white head and dark brown body. The flavor is light, with a light palate and nutty and slightly malty flavor. A very drinkable brown ale, but a little on the light side for me.

Sample at the brewpub. Comes a clear brown with a decent biege head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, caramel and hops. Taste is a nice balance of sweet and bitter. Very good.

Dogbrick (4531) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JUN 17, 2011
Sample at the brewpub. Pours an amber-brown color with a medium thin khaki head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lace on the glass. Aroma of brown sugar, toasted malt and mild hops. Medium body with a sweet roasted malt character and notes of light hops and nuts. The finish is roasty with a malty aftertaste. Pretty average overall.
