Fugglemania Pale Ale

FREE

Looking for a Fuggle-focused English pale ale recipe? Well this maybe what you are looking for.


British Golden Ale

FREE

This recipe is a bit of an unorthodox take on the style in that it uses Vienna malt and some lighter crystal malts, and mixes in some Czech-like hops. But the final flavor profile is very much in line with the better examples of British golden ale that I’ve tried, and it helps show that you can do a bit of fusion of different brewing styles and cultures to create a modern beer. Coming in on the smaller side of ABV, it’s a great beer for the summer or when looking for a session beer.


Firestone Walker Brewing Company: Double Barrel Ale clone

FREE

Double Barrel Ale utilizes the Firestone Union system, which will be very difficult to duplicate at home. But here is our best attempt at getting a Double Barrel Ale clone.


Deschutes Brewery’s Bachelor Bitter clone

FREE

This is a traditional-style English pub bitter that is only available on tap at the Bend brewpub. Features notes of caramel and is very earthy.


Timothy Taylor Brewery: Landlord clone

FREE

According to the brewery’s website: “A strong classic ale with a golden amber colour. It has a scent of caramel, light fruits and roasted malt hints.”


Timothy Taylor Brewery: Boltmaker clone

FREE

Formerly known as Best Bitter, this classic English bitter was renamed in 2012 but retains its classic copper/amber color, citrus and fruity hop character, and a roasted, malty bitter finish.


Coach House: Post Horn Premium Ale clone

FREE

This extra special bitter pours a gold color and features a light, floral hop aroma.


Anchor Brewing Company: Anchor Small Beer clone (2nd Runnings)

FREE

This beer is brewed using the second runnings from a batch of Old Foghorn. Estimating the efficiency in such a scenario is quite challenging so be prepared to make some gravity adjustments upwards with dried malt extract or downwards by dumping some wort and topping off with water.


Archers Golden Bitter clone

FREE

Archers Golden is a superb ale that has won a number of awards. Sadly, at the time of writing, Archers is under administration so the future of their Swindon brewery is in some doubt. We can only hope that a buyer is found for the brewery so that brewing of their fine ales may continue.


St. Peter’s Brewery’s Organic Best Bitter clone

FREE

According to St. Peter’s website, “A traditional best bitter ale brewed with Pale and Crystal malts and Goldings aroma hops, resulting in a full-bodied amber coloured ale. Distinctive caramel notes, with nutty and roasted aromas lead to a bitter, but sweet taste.”


Speedway Brewing Co.’s Speedy Kiwi 5.6 ESB clone

FREE

Speedway Brewing closed its doors in 2010, but we do still have the recipe for their Speedy Kiwi ESB. While it is based on the English style, it comes with its own American twist.
