Recipe Type: All Grain
Tropical Punch Red Ale
You maybe drinking the Kool-Aid after this one (don’t worry, there is no artificial drink mix required in this recipe, only fresh tropical fruit). Tropical fruit paired with tropical hops make for a complex beer with lots of fruit aroma and flavor going on.
Blueberry Porter
This brew is a seasonal one for me based on blueberry harvest. Those of you not within fresh blueberry territory will have to make do with frozen blueberries from your grocery store. Four pounds of our local berries (the size of chick peas, roughly) give a noticeable blueberry flavor and aroma, even in a porter.
White Russian Imperial Pale Ale
I believe that The Dude would abide by drinking this beer.
Maple Marzen
A märzen beer is the perfect base to highlight the earthy qualities of maple sap and syrup. Alternatively, you could try fermenting with a clean ale yeast if you are not equipped to ferment a beer at lager temps for several weeks. Birch sap and syrup can also be used if maple sap and syrup are not available in your region.
Chocolate Porter #47
"I’m a big porter and stout fan, and I think that I finally found the perfect porter recipe. It has a real full chocolate flavor and is quite creamy smooth."

Norwegian Christmas Ale
Christmas beers are a long standing tradition throughout the Scandinavian countries. Generally dark and malty, they are often usually brewed in the late summer, early falls months for consumption during the holiday season. Feel free to kick this recipe up a notch or two with more extract or belgian candy syrups if you want to up increase the alcohol percentage.
Cranberry Cream Ale
For a tart twist on a cream ale, the addition of cranberries will provide an astringency and acidity and can play nicely in this style.
Bavarian Hefe-weizen
For those looking for a classic bavarian-style hefeweizen, you’ve come to the right place. You can trying altering the fermentation temperature to try to bring out either more banana-like esters or more clove-like phenolics.
Otter Creek Pale Ale clone
Discontinued in 2014, Otter Creek Pale Ale was a classic for its clean, crisp body and Cascade hop profile.
Cherry Witbier
Add a nice twist to a classic witbier recipe by adding a fruit like cherries instead of orange peel. This recipe is a great starting place to build your own unique witbier recipe.
