Recipe Type: Extract with Grains
Yarrow Pale Ale (YPA)
This recipe for a YPA came to me one summer afternoon after mowing the lawn. Yarrow, thyme, and savory have spilled out of my wife’s herb garden to become part of the lawn in one place, and they inevitably get mowed along with the dandelions and weeds. The aroma was amazing, and so is the beer.
Black Steam
A steam beer seems like the perfect style to schwarz-up. Here is a recipe to get you there.
Helles Belles (pistachio helles)
A bright lager, fortified with nuts and grain alcohol… who knew?
Winterbock (Wintergreen Doppelbock)
The bright flavors from wintergreen combined with a solid Doppelbock recipe…you’re welcome.
Milk Chocolate Marzen
Chocolate-shake Marzen? Why not? Lactose sugar and a healthy dose of cocoa powder and fat free chocolate syrup provide plenty of milk chocolate experience.
Black Forest Lager (chocolate-cherry lager)
Chocolate and cherry are one of the great pairings in culinary history…so why not make a beer to pair them up? Author Scott Russell thought a European amber would be a great base to lay the foundation for this beer.
White Chocolate Pale Ale
An lightly hopped pale ale with white chocolate hints.
Bitter Chocolate Imperial Stout
The bitter chocolate in this Imperial Stout accents the hops and grain.
Highland Holiday Ale
A smoky, herbal holiday ale for those looking to experiment with this kind of combination. There are some options and advice available with this recipe if brewers want to tweak this recipe to their taste.
Blueberry Porter
This brew is a seasonal one for me based on blueberry harvest. Those of you not within fresh blueberry territory will have to make do with frozen blueberries from your grocery store. Four pounds of our local berries (the size of chick peas, roughly) give a noticeable blueberry flavor and aroma, even in a porter.
White Russian Imperial Pale Ale
I believe that The Dude would abide by drinking this beer.
Maple Marzen
A märzen beer is the perfect base to highlight the earthy qualities of maple sap and syrup. Alternatively, you could try fermenting with a clean ale yeast if you are not equipped to ferment a beer at lager temps for several weeks. Birch sap and syrup can also be used if maple sap and syrup are not available in your region.
