Black Rye IPA
Reader submitted recipe — from Gary Fortin out of Biddeford, Maine.
Weizen Trippelbock
Inspired by The Livery’s Trippel Weizenbock. Steve Berthel told us that, “Most lagers do not use black patent, chocolate, or roast barley in the recipes. I favor a two-hour boil with dark crystal malts to achieve the raisiny, toffee flavors.” He combines extra dark 155–165 °L English crystal malt with bready German base malts (malted wheat, Pilsner, Vienna, and dark Munich). Moderate hopping with Perle and Tettnang provide the balance. Mike’s second attempt to dial in this recipe is currently resting in a 5-gallon (19-L) malt whisky barrel from Balcones Distillery in Texas.
Rye Saison
A Rye Saison recipe by Steve Fletty,from St. Paul, Minnesota
Stockholm Syndrome Baltic Porter
One style that’s making a comeback here in the United States is Baltic porter. Although it can be brewed as a lager, many breweries have adapted to fermenting with ale yeast, which works well for this style.
Sebastian God Damn
A 100% Brett fermented beer recipe from Michael Tonsmieire. Brett beer is one of the three styles in the new American wild ale category of the 2015 Beer Judge Certification Program style guide and is wide open to interpretation.
Milwaukee Brewing Co.’s Louie’s Demise Ale clone
A traditional German altbier. Owner Jim McCabe’s goal was to have a malt-forward, but well-balanced beer with complex flavors. The blend of Munich, honey, and caramel malts accomplishes this nicely and add earthy and caramel notes.
Three Floyds Brewing Company: Dark Lord clone
Dark Lord is a truly unique Russian imperial stout brewed with coffee, Mexican vanilla, and Indian sugar. It features notes of mocha and charred fruit, and has a “motor oil-like consistency.” Note the extended total boil time . . . this is not your typical evening brew session.
Terrapin Beer Company’s Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout clone
This imperial oatmeal stout is brewed using “Wake-N-Bake” beans from Athens, Georgia’s Jittery Joe’s coffee. If you want to brew it the way the Terrapin brewers do, source the beans directly from the source at Jittery Joe’s (which you can do online).
Speakeasy Ales & Lagers Scarface Imperial Stout clone
This full-bodied imperial stout features notes of burnt caramel, coffee, and smoke.
Smog City Brewing Company The Nothing clone
Smog City’s winter seasonal double chocolate stout is named for the character, The Nothing, from the movie The Neverending Story. It is aged on raw cocoa nibs and should have the flavor of a high-quality, dark chocolate bar.
Freetail Brewing Company’s La Muerta Imperial Stout clone
Freetail describes La Muerta as, “A big, lush imperial stout . . . full of roast, smoke and chocolate flavors from an array of specialty malts.”
Carolina Brewing Company’s Groundhog Imperial Stout clone
This Russian imperial stout is part of Carolina’s rotating offerings. It pours a deep, dark color and features a roasted, malty profile.
