Recipes
Recipe-type: Extract with Grains
Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.’s Old Leghumper clone
According to Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.’s website, “This roust porter is dark brown in color and full bodies with a malty sweet taste. Deep roasted, yet silk smooth! Two types of roasted malts, included roasted chocolate malt give this beer its award-winning flavor. World Beer Cup Gold medalist in 2002 and Bronze medalist in 2000.”
“Veruyu” California Red Ale
This is a finely balanced, reddish brew with a hint of California-style aromatics.
Huckleberry Ale
An American-style pale ale, with a healthy heaping of huckleberries.
Williams Brothers Brewing Co.’s Fraoch Heather Ale clone
Heather can be found in abundance in Scotland, although not native to the region. Combining bittering properties and aromatic oils, heather can be used an alternative to hops to produce gruit.
Aventinus Weizenbock clone
Weizenbock is a strong, wheat-based Bock Lager.
Deschutes Brewery’s Black Butte Porter clone
Deschutes’ flagship beer — the one that started it all! A rich, creamy mouthfeel complements a layered depth, revealing distinctive chocolate and coffee notes.
New Belgium Brewing Co.’s Fat Tire Clone
An extremely popular beer, featuring “toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness.”
Sudwerks’ Hubsch Marzen clone
According to Sudwerk’s website, “Choice hops and five different specialty malts are combined to produce this rich, amber and copper-toned lager. Sweeter in flavor than Sudwerk’s other core offerings, the Märzen has a full robust character with a smooth, zen-like finish.”
Bitburger Premium clone
Ahh, Bitburger. It’s a long-time favorite of U.S. servicemen stationed in Germany. This beer is made in the town of Bitburg in the Eifel Lake region of Germany’s Rhineland. Bright gold in color, with a flashy carbonation and lasting pearly-white head, “Bit” is a classic northern German and Scandinavian style pilsner. All-malt Bitburger uses a proprietary yeast strain that gives the beer a super-clean finish.
Alaskan Brewing Co’s Alaskan Amber clone
This beer was first brewed commercially by Douglas City Brewing in the late 1800s and later by Geoff Larson, who in 1986 founded his Alaskan Brewing Company. His amber has won a slew of awards since then, including several Great American Beer Festival medals and a first-place finish at the 1996 World Beer Championships.
Alaskan Amber is an altbier, more in the Münster tradition than the Düsseldorfer (in other words, it’s sweeter, richer, less bitter and less dry).
Smoked Maple Brown Ale
“Kick Save, and a Beauty…” by Scott R. Russell I had a fairly athletic upbringing. All of my male relatives were sports fans, and I can’t remember ever not being one myself.
Rosemary IPA
I have an alter ego, a secret identity, in short a day job. I’m a high-school French teacher. Pretty mundane, sometimes, but that’s one of the reasons I make my own beer.
