Recipes
Recipe-type: Clone
Carolina Beer Co.’s Cottonwood Frostbite clone
“It is a hoppier beer, (but) is very drinkable and heavier for the season.” — head brewer, Nikki Koontz
Big Sky Powder Hound clone
“Powder Hound is traditional in style, but as far as a winter beer, it is still something that could be considered a session beer. In keeping it around six percent ABV, it remains much more drinkable.”
—Matt Long, head brewer at Big Sky Brewing

First brewed by Harpoon in 1988, this beer has become a New England seasonal classic. Cinnamon and nutmeg dominate the aroma. The taste is a rich combination of the holiday spices and the hearty malt backbone. There is a mild sweetness to the finish along with the lingering flavor of the spices.

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout clone
Description of Guinness’ website describe their classic FES as “Fruit and caramel flavors begin, smoky notes and a vibrant bitterness follow. Where extra hops and a stronger alcohol percentage were once used to preserve the beer, allowing it to survive and thrive during long sea voyages, now they yield its bold taste and unique flavor profile.”
Otter Creek Mud Bock Spring Ale clone
A Bock that has a nutty, chocolate malt flavor with mild hopping.
Yukon Brewing Company’s Arctic Red clone
According to Yukon Brewing Co., “Full malt body takes over the palate; not sweet, but bold, fruity and persistent. A snap of clean hop bitter grabs the back of the tongue and springs into the sinus cavity, blending with the caramel flavours that have wafted back with the nectar that is this ale. But the swallow goes down clean, almost dry, and leaves only a slight lingering presence of the abundant flavours that were just there, and now gone!”
