Great Divide Brewery’s Yeti Imperial Stout clone
According to Great Divide’s website, “Yeti Imperial Stout is an onslaught of the senses. It starts with big, roasty malt flavor that gives way to rich caramel and toffee notes. Yeti gets its bold hop character from an enormous quantity of American hops. It weighs in at a hefty 75 IBUs.” There are many variants to the Yeti base beer including the famed barrel-aged version.
Left Hand Brewery’s Twin Sisters (Double IPA) clone
A big, chewy, resiny, hop extravaganza. Not a brew for the feint of heart.

Doughboy Draught
American Pilsners were bigger and hoppier in the past, right? Well, not always. In 1917 — near the end of World War I — Congress passed the Food and Fuel Control Act (also known as the Lever Act), which gave President Wilson the power to set prices on and direct the distribution of food and coal. Wilson shut distilleries, limited the amount of coal breweries could use and capped the alcohol percentage in beer to 2.75% by weight (about 3.4% by volume). Here is a classic American Pilsner an American infantryman (or doughboy) might have drank during training, before being shipped off to the trenches in Europe.
The Schizlitz
This is a beer formulated with some information I received about how Schlitz was brewed in 1975. I simplified this formulation by using flaked maize and specifiying that the beer be fermented at working strength, rather than using high gravity brewing.
Blanche Oreiller
Jamil Zainasheff provides BYO his best rendition for a classic Belgian-styled witbier recipe to provide a subtly complex, yet easy drinking ale. The perfect beer for summer or anytime you need a refreshing beer on hand.
