What I am drinking right now. I picked up a six pack of Brooklyn Pennant Ale '55 from Brooklyn Brewery - Brooklyn, NY - USA on Sunday and I am trying one right now.
Info. from Brooklyn Brewery Web site:
As Brooklynites, we revere the memory of the 1955 World Champion Dodgers baseball team, so we had to name a beer in their honor. Brooklyn Pennant Ale is a honey-colored pale ale with a brisk malt palate and finely balanced hop character. Pennant is a traditional English-style pale ale. The pale ale style developed in the early 19th century and was called pale because it appeared so in comparison to the darker ale styles of the day. Brooklyn Pennant Ale is brewed from Scottish Maris Otter malt, which is justly prized for its toasty, biscuity flavor and the round smoothness it imparts to beer.
Brooklyn Pennant Ale is great with pizaa, roasted and grilled meats, burgers, barbeque, robust fish, shellfish, falafel, crab cakes and spicy food. Caramel malts lend it the ability to work nicely with steaks, but just as well with grilled vegetables.
Malts Used: Scottish Floor-malted Maris Otter Malt, Belgian Aromatic malt, British Crystal Malt from East Anglican.
Hops Used:Hallertauer Perle, Willamette, American Fuggle, Cascade.
