Drew’s Open Fermentation Experimental Mild

Big Island Brewhaus’ Golden Sabbath clone
MEMBERS ONLYStylistically, Golden Sabbath can be considered a slightly fuller-bodied Belgian golden strong ale. The use of local Hawaiian honey in place of traditional Belgian candi sugar provides body, a silky texture, and an inviting aroma.
Gordon Strong’s Scottish Export
MEMBERS ONLYThis recipe can easily be scaled down to make a Scottish heavy, say at 3.5% ABV, or scaled up to a stronger but still export strength 5.2% beer. Pick the alcohol level you want, and let your recipe software do the work for you to scale it.
Denny’s Generic West Coast IPA

Gordon Strong’s German Helles Exportbier
MEMBERS ONLYThis beer is bolder than your typical lawnmower beer, but it is meant to reward a hard day’s work. So go cross something off your to-do list, then grab a cold one, like life was meant to be.
Gordon Strong’s American Amber Ale
MEMBERS ONLYThe challenge in this style to me is restraint, and keeping the flavors in balance. If you do that, this could be a choice as one of your regular house beers.
