Recipe Type: All Grain
Gruit Ale
Leave the hops in the freezer for this brew session…welcome to the adventurous world of Gruits!

Something akin to the historic Burton ale, this Celebration Beer recipe has plenty of support from the hops to balance out the beer to provide a strong and complex, full-bodied beer.
Belgian Wit
Belgian wit had all but disappeared when Pierre Celis began his brewing career in the 1950s. Celis is credited for reviving the style in Belgium during his stint at the Hoegaarden brewery; then he moved to Texas, launched his own Belgian brewery and kick-started the style in the United States.
Dortmunder (German Export)
A pale lager named after the city it originated in.
Moylan’s Brewery’s Kilt-Lifter Wee Heavy clone
The recipe for Kilt-Lifter, the wee heavy they pour at Moylan’s, was developed in 10-gallon batches during Paddy Giffen’s days as a homebrewer. It’s unusual because it uses German hop varieties that are not traditional to this style.
American Amber II
Here is a nice, subtle version of an American Amber Ale that is good to pair with foods.
American Amber I
This version of American Amber Ale is moderately hopped and balanced by a moderately high gravity.
Traditional German Bock
A great Bock recipe for a traditional, triple decocted German Bock(bier).
Cherry Brown Ale
A fun-to-brew Brown Ale with some home toasted malts and a lot of cherries!

Dixie Cup Boardwalk Belgian Quadrupel
This was the beer that was given to each of the attendees of this year’s Houston Foam Ranger’s Dixie Cup Homebrew Competition. The theme was Fredopoly, based on the board game Monopoly and in honor of our annual speaker and homebrew pioneer, Fred Eckhardt.
