Brooklyn Brewery: Brooklyn Lager clone

Boulevard Brewing Company: Pop Up Session IPA clone

Base Camp Brewing Company: In-Tents IPL clone
This is a labor-intensive beer to produce, utilizing a triple batch sparge, kräusening, a three-week bulk lagering period, and oak chip aging. The result is a malty and firmly hopped, oak-aged lager softened by some natural carbonation. The lager yeast allows the piney and floral aromatics to shine while the oak chips heighten the maltiness of the brew.
