Our second attempt at the brown ale from Beer 2016.02. We didn't really secure a source of creeping charlie this time around, so we're going to make this one with some hops and do the same beer in a couple weeks actually with a creeping charlie so we can compare the taste of each. And by that I mean that we totally planned it this way because we always wanted to do the comparison. Yeah, right...
