Beer Style: Spice, Herb and Vegetable Beer
Crazy Ed’s Cave Creek Chile Beer clone
This recipe is an attempt to clone Cave Creek Chili Beer, which was originally brewed by Crazy Ed’s Black Mountain Brewing in Cave Creek, Arizona with a chili pepper placed in each bottle. This golden lager looks harmless enough (unless there’s a chili lurking in the bottle!) but if you’re not careful, that hot stuff will reach right out of the glass and tear your throat open!
Holiday Ale
Tis the season for celebrations…
Hot! Hot! Hot! Brewing with Chili Peppers
From jalapeno to habanero, how to make scorching chili beer at home.
Rosemary IPA
I have an alter ego, a secret identity, in short a day job. I’m a high-school French teacher. Pretty mundane, sometimes, but that’s one of the reasons I make my own beer.
Take Heart with Winter Warmers
These seasonal beers were traditionally served to warm the body and soul with their herbs, spices, and high alcohol content. Recipes included for spruce beer, wassail, and a brew to fight off Old Man Winter.
Brewing Hempen Ale
The brewer who developed Hempen Ale and Hempen Gold tells us how he created the popular and controversial beers.
Charlie’s Gouden-Plenty Pils
Licorice root provides a refreshing herbal spice for this Pilsner base beer.
Dubbel Trubbel
Here is my recipe for a spiced dubbel, not patterned after any one commercial example but rather an amalgam of several but with a bit of a twist. It is moderately strong, medium dark, spicy from both the yeast and the flavorings added. I recommend aging it well, trying it several different times over the course of a couple of years. In effect you will probably find that you have brewed several different small batches in one, as the flavors really evolve over time.
Haystack Wheat
A Belgian wheat beer base with equal parts coriander, cumin, ginger, wintergreen, and star anise; ground and mixed thoroughly to add just a hint of spice.
Yarrow Pale Ale (YPA)
This recipe for a YPA came to me one summer afternoon after mowing the lawn. Yarrow, thyme, and savory have spilled out of my wife’s herb garden to become part of the lawn in one place, and they inevitably get mowed along with the dandelions and weeds. The aroma was amazing, and so is the beer.
White Chocolate Pale Ale
An lightly hopped pale ale with white chocolate hints.
Bitter Chocolate Imperial Stout
The bitter chocolate in this Imperial Stout accents the hops and grain.
