Recipes
Beer-style: Specialty and Experimental Beer
Are You Teff Enough? Cream Ale
The subtle flavor of teff is quite nice in a cream ale, and you may choose to actually throw teff in the oven (spread evenly in a shallow pan, baked at 300 °F/148 °C for 15–30 minutes) to bring out a more nutty flavor and some color as well.
Kickin’ It Khorasan Style Saison
For the most part, khorasan functions like any other raw wheat, and can be used in any recipe or style where a small amount of malted or unmalted wheat is called for.
Your Turn Maibock
A bock recipe with maple syrup and vanilla added to make it a breakfast maibock.
Easy Tesgüino
This recipe is easy to reproduce in a modern homebrewery. In the recipe for easy tesgüino, the fermentable sugars are derived from sugar rather than corn.
Westbrook Brewing Co.’s 4th Anniversary clone
A coconut, almond, imperial stout.
Catharina Guajava
A Brazilian kettle-soured fruit beer.
Rogue Ales: Marionberry Braggot clone
Rogue’s Marionberry Braggot draws big from the proprietary ingredients being produced at Rogue Farms. Two proprietary honeys, more than a handful of Rogue Farms Malts, Rogue Farms Rebel hops, and (of course) lots of Rogue Farms Marionberries are jam packed into this flavorful honey-forward beverage. Marionberry Braggot is a sipper to be shared responsibly amongst friends!
Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!: Route des épices (Spice route) clone
This is a malty rye ale spiced with peppercorns. It features rich chocolate and rye grain flavors, a medium body balance and a peppery finish. If you want the peppercorns to stay in the fermenter, you can bag them with the final hops addition. If you follow that process, the cooled wort with the peppercorns can go right from the kettle into the fermenter.
Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!: Rosée d’hibiscus (Pinkish hibiscus) clone
Very pink, very floral, very crisp and light bodied — very drinkable! This beer’s color and aroma are quite eye-catching and aromatic. Look for dried hibiscus flowers at your local food coop, health food store or from any local or online dried herb retailer.
Närke Kulturbryggeri: Tanngnjostr & Tanngrisnir clone
Berith Karlsson, from Närke Kulturbryggeri, said of this smoked doppelbock spiced with juniper twigs, “being a double bock lager, (it) is named after the two goats pulling the wagon of Thor, the god of thunder.”
The Mitten Brewing Company: Label Up clone
Co-owner Chris Andrus wants to make it clear that “this is NOT a novelty beer.” Label Up is “first and foremost a brown ale.” The maple and pecan flavors are not intended to create an overly-sweet palate and should not prevent anyone from enjoying multiple pints of it!
Free Will Brewing Company: C.O.B. (Coffee Oatmeal Brown) with Coconut & Chocolate clone
According to Free Will Brewing Co., this is a “Coffee, oatmeal, brown ale. Incredibly rich undertones of brown sugar, caramel and graham cracker. One pound of Speakeasy coffee per brewery barrel added post fermentation creates a prominent nose and taste of coffee.” This clone recipe includes a variation on the base C.O.B. beer with the addition of coconut and cocao.
