Recipe Type: Clone
Rabbit’s Foot Meadery’s Sweet Mead clone
This mead is sweet… just like you (awww). And it’s award-winning!
Founders Brewing Co.’s Breakfast Stout clone
Founder’s describes this as “the coffee lover’s consummate beer.” Brewed with flaked oats, bitter and imported chocolate, and two types of coffee, this is indeed like the strong, dark cup of joe you’ll want for breakfast—or anytime!
Bend Brewing’s Hophead Imperial IPA clone
Bend Brewing Company’s 2007 GABF winning imperial IPA. The secret to a good Imperial IPA is dry-hopping. It can make or
break this style. It is very important to have a huge aroma that leads you into the beer, complementing the inherent bitterness.
— Tonya Cornett, Brewmaster
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.
Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company: Schlitz Gusto (circa 1960’s) clone
1960’s-style American Pilsner, a clone of “The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous”
Salmon Creek Brewing Brother Larry’s Belgian clone

Fredericksburg Brewing Co.’s Porter clone
Fredericksburg Brewing Co.’s Porter clone (5 gallons/19 L, extract with grains) OG = 1.054 FG = 1.012 IBU = 15 SRM = 23 ABV = 5.5% Ingredients 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) golden
Lindeman’s Lambic clone
Lindemans was founded in 1822 and has a solid reputation as a blender and brewer of traditional, authentic lambics. The brewery produces four fruit lambics: kriek (cherry), cassis (black current), peche (peach) and framboise (raspberry). This same basic recipe also can be used to emulate other fruit lambics, from fraise (strawberry) to druiven (muscat grape).

Hoegaarden Original White Ale clone
Brouwerij De Kluis, Hoegaarden
This is the standard by which all witbiers are measured. Hoegaarden Wit is cloudy and very pale golden in color, with a restrained white head and aromas of coriander and wheat that are impossible to ignore.
Corsendonk Monk’s Brown Ale clone
Corsendonk is an Abbey beer, not a Trappist beer. This designation means the beer is brewed not at an abbey, but under license from — or at least in the style of — a Trappist monastery. In the case of Corsendonk, the name is taken from an Augustine priory that produced beer from the 1600s until the 1780s. Whether the Augustine brothers brewed anything remotely resembling modern Corsendonk is debatable, but they have licensed their name to the beer since 1982.

Brouwerij Westmalle’s Abbey Tripel clone
The quintessential Trappist tripel, Westmalle is very pale, very strong, and wonderfully smooth. One of the brewhouse techniques that makes the Westmalle beers unique is the use of direct gas flames on the copper kettles. This creates hot spots that may caramelize the wort slightly, giving a faint burnt-sugar taste to the beers. The beers are also brewed with very hard water, which certainly contributes to the character of the tripel.
De Koninck clone
A smooth, easy-drinking amber-colored Belgian Ale.
