Beer Style: Pale Ale Family
1904 Pale Ale
Terry Foster provides homebrewers a historic recipe for a turn of the century American Pale Ale.
Honey Kölsch
Recipe from professional chef and culinary consultant Mark Molinaro. Pairs with the Honey Cured Bacon.
Sucro-licious Belgian
Sugar selection can completely change the impression of a Belgian beer. Some dubbels are little more than Belgian blondes with dark candi syrup instead of pure sucrose. This recipe from Michael Tonsmeire leaves it up to the brewer to decide which sugar-type to determine the final beer’s character.
Astronomical American Pale
An experimental batch with several new hops in my freezer. It proved to be a pungent/grassy mix with a healthy citrus and tropical fruit kick to the nose.
A Stroll by the Wandle
This recipe is inspired by the wonderful time I had visiting Sambrook’s Brewery in London to meet with the London Amateur Brewers club. I based this recipe on information Head Brewer Sean Knight shared with me about their Wandle ale.
Stone Pale Ale (1.0) clone
This is a recipe for the original Stone Pale Ale. According to the farewell post to the 1.0 version, Stone Brewing Co. posted this about the beer, “Maltier and more full-bodied than most American pale ales—not to mention tons hoppier than most beers at the time—it was a bold direction to go with the only beer in a fledgling portfolio.”
Spencer Trappist Ale clone
The first beer released by the first and only American Trappist brewery, The Spencer Brewery located in Spencer, Massachusetts. This beer was designed to mirror the patersbiers (“fathers’ beer” in Flemish) found in Belgium. They have since released a full line-up of beers, but their original Belgian-style pale ale is something to be savored. Find the recipe here.

Anita Johnson’s Kölsch
Anita Johnson, owner of Great Fermentations of Indiana, in Indianapolis says, “This Kölsch recipe is a crowd pleaser. We have served it at homebrew club meetings, public beer festivals and in the Indy Runners’ recovery tent at the Indianapolis 500 Festival Mini Marathon (the country’s largest 1/2 marathon). I like this beer because it has lots of flavor but is light and thirst-quenching. The Wyeast 2565 leaves a tartness that I really like. So simple but yet so good!”
