Recipe Type: Extract with Grains
The Mitten Brewing Company: Label Up clone
Co-owner Chris Andrus wants to make it clear that “this is NOT a novelty beer.” Label Up is “first and foremost a brown ale.” The maple and pecan flavors are not intended to create an overly-sweet palate and should not prevent anyone from enjoying multiple pints of it!
Timothy Taylor Brewery: Boltmaker clone
Formerly known as Best Bitter, this classic English bitter was renamed in 2012 but retains its classic copper/amber color, citrus and fruity hop character, and a roasted, malty bitter finish.
Coach House: Post Horn Premium Ale clone
This extra special bitter pours a gold color and features a light, floral hop aroma.
Anchor Brewing Company: Anchor Small Beer clone (2nd Runnings)
This beer is brewed using the second runnings from a batch of Old Foghorn. Estimating the efficiency in such a scenario is quite challenging so be prepared to make some gravity adjustments upwards with dried malt extract or downwards by dumping some wort and topping off with water.
21st Amendment Brewery and Ninkasi Brewing Company: Allies Win the War clone
This collaboration English strong ale came to be thanks to 21st Amendment’s Shaun O’Sullivan and Ninkasi’s Jamie Floyd, who had been friends since brewing together in the 1990s at Steelhead Brewery. Both brewers had won GABF medals for their versions of this style, and decided to brew one together using local ingredients.
Wicked Weed Brewing Co.’s Reticent Saison clone
Wicked Weed may be best known for its sour and hop-forward beers, but they also brew a wide variety of saisons. Reticent has a complex malt bill to build lots of character underneath the yeast-driven aroma.
New Belgium Brewing Company: Abbey clone
Abbey is one of the first beers brewed and released by New Belgium back in 1991. Since then it has been one of the brewery’s most award-winning beers. This Belgian-style dubbel is designed to represent the monastic beers of Belgium.
Brooklyn Brewery: Brooklyn Sorachi Ace
Brooklyn Sorachi Ace marries the overall structure of the modern saison style with the unique lemony/herbal qualities of the Sorachi Ace hop. Sorachi Ace is used throughout, and very complete attenuation gives refreshing, flinty dryness.
Brasserie Saint James: The Wit Album
This Reno, Nevada brewery’s witbier is a cloudy pale yellow and features spicy, fruity, citrus aromas.
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale clone
“First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic beer brewed in the barleywine style, meaning a strong, robust, bruiser of a beer with the refined intensity of a wine.”
Empire Brewing Company: American Strong Ale clone
“This ale is bold, hoppy, and complex with chocolate and roasted malts adding a full malty character. The strong American hops balance the beer with an aggressive bitterness, followed by a fruity hop flavor and a full hop aroma.”
Anchor Brewing Company: Anchor Old Foghorn (1st Runnings)
Old Foghorn is brewed using the parti-gyle method, which is brewing two batches of beer by separating the first and second runnings to create two distinct beers — one high gravity, one lower gravity. Old Foghorn is the beer made from the first runnings. Small Beer is the beer made from the second runnings.
