McKenzie’s Brew House’s Saison Vautour clone
his is the recipe for McKenzie’s Brew House’s multi-gold-medal-winning rye saison from head brewer Ryan Michaels. It’s a good example of how a very simple recipe can result in a beer of extraordinary complexity. The clean version has a wonderful rustic character from the rye and yeast, while the barrel-aged version adds some tartness and funk.
Dirty Hands Brewing Co.’s Liberty Ship Stout clone
This beer has a nice bittersweet chocolate and coffee profile, with just enough hop presence to offset any cloying sweetness. Unfortunately Dirty Hands Brewing closed their doors in 2016, but their legacy can live on.

Dick’s Brewing Co.’s Bottleworks IPA clone

BrewDog’s Hardcore IPA clone
The Scottish brewery continues their unabashed style of brewing with this beer teeming with American hops and UK malts.
The Alchemist’s Holey Moley clone

Ballantine carried the hoppy torch for many years with their Ballantine IPA. You can try to recreate that classic amber-colored beer with this recipe.
New Belgium Brewing Co.’s Ranger IPA clone
