Recipe Type: Partial Mash
Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing Co.’s Funnel Cake clone
MEMBERS ONLYForgotten Boardwalk Brewing Company, located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, describes their Funnel Cake sweet cream ale smelling like “old-fashioned Nilla wafer” and tasting like classic Jersey Shore boardwalk funnel cake.
Conshohocken Brewing Co.’s Glazing Saddles clone
MEMBERS ONLYThis is a creamy, blonde “krapfen-style ale” (from the German word for “donuts”) recipe that includes donut as an ingredient!
Zoc’s Traditional Lambic
MEMBERS ONLYA traditional lambic from Paul Zocco.
Sommerbier
MEMBERS ONLYThis beer that lands somewhere between a German Pilsner and a pale Kellerbier.
Perpetuum Sour
MEMBERS ONLYAuthor Michael Tonsmeire provides a recipe he utilizes for his home solera method to produce funky beers.
Perennial Artisan Ales Anniversaria clone
MEMBERS ONLYSt. Louis, Missouri-based Perennial Artisan Ales’ anniversary ale, Anniversaria, is blended via solera. Their goal isn’t to release the same beer each year, but as brewer Jonathan Moxey put it, “create a thread that will run through each year’s release.”
A Beer to Guard
MEMBERS ONLYRecipe author Horst Dornbusch states of the style, “The brew is not refined, but it is not coarse either. Instead, it is full-bodied and hearty, slightly fruity, unabashedly strong in alcohol and has a medium hoppiness — but with a powerfully malty, almost Port-like, finish. Bière de garde is clearly a sipping, not a quaffing, beer. I simply love bière de garde . . . but when it comes to beer, I’m a hopeless romantic!”
Choc clone
MEMBERS ONLYThis beer has had many different variants. This clone recipe is close to the current version, which is a cloudy, unfiltered wheat/barley beer with some funky ale flavors, 4.0% alcohol, lots of fruitiness from a warm fermented Hefeweizen yeast. Choc is bottle conditioned, and not filtered prior to bottling, so it can have large amounts of sedimentation at the bottom of the bottle. There is also a bit of lemony flavor to Choc, typical of a wheat beer.
Dixie Brewing Co.’s Dixie clone
MEMBERS ONLYDixie is an American Pilsner style beer, with adjunct levels a bit lower than most of “Grandpa’s beers.” This extra maltiness gives a bit more robust flavor to it, and a slightly darker color. Its yeast flavor leans more toward the Pilsner style, but uses American hops so that their characteristic citrus flavor comes through.
Olympia Premium Lager Beer clone
MEMBERS ONLYOlympia has a very clean flavor, a little malt flavor, a little corn flavor and a little rice flavor, with just a bit of citrus from American hops. There is debate whether the “new” version brewed in California is as good as the original version brewed in Olympia, WA. Afterall, supposedly: “It’s the water.”
Not-Quite-Amber Waves of Grain
MEMBERS ONLYThe American wheats I’ve been tasting at competitions lately take the best of American pale ale, add some nice low-Lovibond character maltiness and wheat, and back off the IBUs so you can actually appreciate the flavors. This one was a silver medal winner at the Philly Homebrew Cup.
The BISness Belgian Imperial Stout
MEMBERS ONLYKyle Larson, Brewer at Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River, Oregon provides a recipe to BYO from his homebrew collection.
