Bravus Oatmeal Dark is part of the brand's dark beer series, the richer-styled end of a range that also spans IPAs, lighter ales, and specialty styles. Bravus, founded by Philip Brandes in Anaheim, California in 2015, positions itself as one of the first craft breweries in the United States dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic beer. The Oatmeal Dark is an alcohol-free oatmeal stout within that specialist lineup.
