Beer Style: IPA Family
Firestone Walker Brewing Company: Wookey Jack clone
This black rye IPA from Firestone Walker’s Proprietor’s Reserve Series was recently retired from the Firestone Walker regular lineup, so you’ll definitely want to brew your own!
Fortside Brewing Company: Black RyePA clone
This is a black IPA that is enhanced with some rye malt. It pours a very dark brownish-black color with a nice billowing light tan head. Big tropical fruit and citrus rind aromas mix with sweet brown sugar and subtle rye notes. Lots of silky body creates great mouthfeel that showcases the rye and roasted malts. The silky body of this beer also delivers loads of tropical hop flavor with slight pine resin to the middle of your tongue. It finishes very balanced with a soft bitterness that goes well with the dark malt framework.
Grumpy Troll Brew Pub: Belgian IPA clone
This is a big bear that rings up close to 10% ABV. Belgian characteristics from the yeast blend well with aromatic Pacific Northwest hops for a complex, yet satisfyingly drinkable brew.
Trillium Brewing Company: Sleeper Street clone
Trillium brewers describe this beer on their website as, “Opaque orange-yellow in color with floral aromas of lime zest, grapefruit peel, pine sap, and candied orange.”
Tree House Brewing Company: Julius clone

Firestone Walker Brewing Company: Union Jack clone
According to Firestone Walker’s Brewing Co.’s website “This aggressively hopped West Coast IPA showcases stunning pineapple, citrus and piney aromas along with exceptional dry hop flavors of grapefruit and tangerine. This intense brew finds its balance in hone-like pale malt sweetness. The name Union Jack is a nod to the colonial origins of the IPA style, and to the British expatriate who co‐founded our brewery.”
