The following beer recipe is featured in the September/October 2013 issue of Zymurgy magazine. Access this issue along with the archives with Zymurgy Online!

In London, the brewing industry is growing quickly, just like ours here in the United States. New breweries have transformed London's beer scene, and many of their brewers share a significant trait: they started as members of the London Amateur Brewers (LAB) before going pro. Graham O'Brien, along with other friends from LAB, launched Pressure Drop Brewery at the end of 2012. They started on a 13.2-gallon (50-liter) system in O'Brien's house but soon began to look for a location that would host a 6 to 10 barrel system. Stokey Brown, one of their flagship brews, combines the maltiness of a brown ale with some added hop punch.
