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.
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.

A golden blonde ale with just a hint of raciness in the hops. Follow the instructions closely and this will come off without a hitch.
