Recipe Type: Partial Mash
Goose Island’s Honkers Ale clone
Inspired by visits to English country pubs, Honker’s Ale combines a spicy hop aroma with a rich malt middle to create a perfectly balanced beer. Immensely drinkable, Honker’s Ale is not only a beer drinkers can trust but one they’ll look forward to.
Redhook Ale Brewery’s Redhook ESB clone
This Extra Special Bitter is a deep copper-orange color, with an off-white, creamy head. The aroma is a judicious blend of fruity hops and toasted malt. Medium in body, it is full and round, with a nice blend of malt balanced with gentle hop character. Redhook ESB ends with a sweet malt finish.
Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale ’55 clone
Pennant is a well-crafted pale ale brewed as a tribute to Brooklyn’s world champion baseball team of 1955. (That would be the Dodgers, who actually beat the Yanks in that crosstown series.)
Pennant pours with a dense light-beige head that sits on a chestnut-colored beer. The aroma is complex and malty, with a hint of freshly baked bread. The full malt flavor is balanced with a clean hop background. English hops provide a moderate bitterness that complements the smooth mouthfeel. The aftertaste is dry with a hint of hops.

Copper Ale
Copper ales generally tend to lean toward balancing maltiness with hoppiness.
Peanut Butter Cup Sweet Stout
I used peanut butter extract and cordial oil, but you could also use 6 oz. of natural peanut butter that you pour off the oil and add it at intervals during the boil just like the cocoa powder is added.
Cactus Milk Stout
Nothing like a tall, cold glass of cactus milk . . . so refreshing during hot times.
