This brew is named after Norman Miller, the MetroWest Beer Nut and author of Beer Lover’s New England. Ever since we opened our doors in 2010, Norm had been peskily suggesting we brew a coconut beer. In 2012, we relented and named it “Norm”. Norm is an oatmeal stout brewed with ten specialty malts, cacao nibs, and one pound of organic toasted coconut per gallon.
