About this beer

Smuttynose Brewing’s Old Brown Dog is an American Brown Ale brewed and canned in Hampton, New Hampshire, Boston, Massachusetts, and Windsor, Vermont. Weighing in at 6.5% alcohol by volume, this 12-ounce offering presents a rich amber color. The label details no specific ingredients beyond its style, but the beer’s profile hints at notes of caramel, toffee, and a subtle chocolate malt character balanced by a gentle hop bitterness. It’s described simply as an “American Brown Ale,” suggesting a focus on approachable brown malt flavors rather than excessively roasty or hoppy characteristics.

The can’s artwork features a full-color portrait of a charming, golden-brown dog—likely a Labrador Retriever—occupying nearly the entire surface, conveying a rustic and approachable feel. The “Old Brown Dog” name and brewery logo are prominently displayed in a vintage-inspired font against a warm, red background, lending a classic aesthetic to the packaging.
