Denny Conn’s Cream Swill (Cream Ale)
Denny says, “This turns out so well as a mini-mash beer that I’ve never been tempted to come up with an all-grain version.”
Springfield Brewing Co.’s Mueller Wheat
Our wheat is dry, crisp and refreshing — and has a certain ‘snap’ from the malted and raw wheats used, as well as a spicy hop nose from the Liberty hops. The foam has a rich, creamy and rocky appearance. Our wheat beer has been our number one seller since we opened in December 1997 and won a gold in the American-style wheat beer category at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in 2003 and a bronze in the same category in 2004. — Ashton Lewis – Springfield Brewing Co.
Bronze Ale
In the March-April 2007 issue of BYO, I used a beer I called my copper ale as an example in an article on balancing beer recipes. This is a slightly reworked version of that beer that features Vanguard hops.
Red Queen Ale
In Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking-Glass,” Alice encounters the Red Queen, who needs to keep running as fast as she can just to stay in place. Like the Red Queen, brewers will be doing some scrambling just to hold their ground in 2008. due to the hop shortage In my Red Queen Ale, I tried to come up with a recipe that made the most of some ingredients that should be plentiful, and of high quality, this year. I chose Santiam and Sterling hops because I liked their spicy character. This year, the US crop of 6-row barley was excellent, whereas 2-row barley crops around the world were variable. This beer is dry and the Nottingham yeast leaves a refreshing crispness.

Copper Ale
Copper ales generally tend to lean toward balancing maltiness with hoppiness.
Rockyard Brewing Co.’s Double Eagle Ale clone
From Rockyard Brewing in Castle Rock, Colorado, according to their website, “Our Multi-Medal Winning Double Eagle Ale is an American-Style Filtered Wheat. Brewed with 30% wheat, this light bodied ale is bright golden in color with a crisp but smooth aftertaste. This beer is excellent for relaxing on a late summer evening, or dreaming of warmer weather.”
Pelican Brewing Co.’s Kiwanda Cream Ale clone
Pelican Brewing Co. from Cannon Beach, Oregon created the first modern beer recipe I heard about in which the first hopping addition was after flameout. This is the perfect summer beer to enjoy on the water.
Flying Fish Brewery Farmhouse Summer Ale clone
Just a touch of sourness adds an extra crisp layer for this summer beer. The Styrian Golding hops provides a slight earthy and spicy character to the beer.
Outback Amber Ale
A smooth, easy drinking copper-colored ale with Willamette hops provided a nice floral and herbal character.
Yukon Brewing Company’s Arctic Red clone
According to Yukon Brewing Co., “Full malt body takes over the palate; not sweet, but bold, fruity and persistent. A snap of clean hop bitter grabs the back of the tongue and springs into the sinus cavity, blending with the caramel flavours that have wafted back with the nectar that is this ale. But the swallow goes down clean, almost dry, and leaves only a slight lingering presence of the abundant flavours that were just there, and now gone!”
