- Double Brown
-
Double Brown is a full flavored naturally fermented bitter beer with a distinctive malty character. It is produced by DB Breweries in New Zealand, composed of 4% alcohol by volume. It is considered an affordable beer since it is priced below mainstream brands owned by the company such as Tui, Export Gold and DB Draught. Double Brown is produced in DB's main brewery in Auckland. It is not marketed as heavily as the main brands, due to costs.
Double Brown is featured in the Lee Tamahori film Once Were Warriors, where bottles can be seen in the pub at the beginning of the film.
In 2004 Double Brown won the prestigious BrewNZ New Zealand Draft Beer of the Year Award [1]
In 2009 DB Breweries controversially reduced the iconic "20 box" to 18 cans whilst holding the price constant.
