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.

On draft at the brew pub. Of the three beers I had this night, this was my favorite. The biggest plus was that it had relatively more flavor than the other two (stout, common). A little too fizzy, but other than that a slightly average ale.

Tried this again recently at the St. Louis Park location in MN. I liked it a little more. On tap at the brewpub. The body was medium brown with no head. The aroma was light toffee with some chocolate and sweet maple. The taste was toffee with some iced tea. The body was light with some woody character. This had no life and seemed filtered to hell.

Tap at the brewery (KC). Golden color, wouldn’t have guessed this was a Brown Ale in a blind tasting, but as it was, a nice malty / hoppy ale. One of the better beers I sampled at McCoys.

Average brown ale. Light roasted malty aroma. Brown with smallish head. Slightly sweet and roasted flavor. Drinkable but not very memorable. Average.

Strong toasted maltiness, a light bit of fruit and some roasted nuttiness, with just an afterthought of coffee beans. Bittersweet flavor, mild to medium bodied mouthfeel, but very full and filling texture. Rich but smooth and enjoyable to drink.

Dark Brown Coloring with White Head. Toasted Nut Aroma. Medium Mouthfeel...Nice Balance of Malt and Hops, Toasted Nuts..With the Toasted and Sweet Malt Notes, It Actually is Reminiscent of Peanut Butter. Easiest of the Regulars to Sit Back and Enjoy.

Sampled on draft at McCoys. Pours clear copper with a thick white head and nice lacing. An American hop aroma is followed by a nicely bitter, hoppy flavor. Good malt backbone. Medium-bodied, moderately carbonated. Quite drinkable.

St. Louis Park, MN location. Dark brown color wtih no head. Very solid nut aroma, but with the alcoholic tint that seems to be common to brown ales. Slightly dry malt taste up front with what I believe is a chestnut taste. The alcohol is still there, but fades to the background. Tasty enough.
