Recipes
Big Sky Brewing Company: Moose Drool clone
This is the beer that put Montana craft beer on the map shortly after Big Sky opened in 1995. Moose Drool has taken home many medals for its drinkability, with subtle coffee and cocoa notes balanced with a pleasant bitterness.
Elysian Brewing Company: The Wise clone
The first beer that Elysian Brewing Co. brewed, The Wise ESB is a classic British Special Bitter. The recipe was shared with Brew Your Own magazine in 2010 in honor of the 15th Anniversary of Elysian Brewing and BYO.
Weyerbacher Fifteen (Smoked Imperial Stout) clone
A smoked Imperial Stout to sip…and enjoy.
Ska Brewing Co. Kingpin Double Red clone
A malty English Scottish Strong Red Ale.
Parascalops Porter (Mole Porter)
Parascalops? Mole? What the hell!? Mole (pronounced MOH-lay) poblano is a sauce made with cocoa, nuts, chili peppers and other spices.
Teddy Porter (Coffee Porter)
No, not Taddy Porter, Teddy Porter — as in Teddy Roosevelt. In 1907, Teddy Roosevelt reputedly first uttered the words “good to the last drop,” which became Maxwell House’s slogan. Modern historians dispute this, however, claiming that the line was really written by an ad executive. One thing beyond dispute is that you’ll be sad to see the last drop of this beer go.
Cacao Puffs Porter (Chocolate Porter)
What goes great with chocolate? How about more chocolate? This beer combines chocolate malt, cocoa powder and cacao nibs for a massive chocolate flavor and aroma. A high mash temperature and relatively large dose of crystal malt yield a sweet, full-bodied beer.
Molasses-Kissed Vanilla Porter
A sweet porter accentuated with the aroma and flavor of vanilla. Recipe from James Spencer from Basic Brewing Radio and Video (www.basicbrewing.com).
New Belgium Brewing Company La Folie clone
A wood aged sour brown ale with lots of green apple, plum and cherry notes. According to Lauren Salazar of New Belgium Brewing Co., “Never turn your back on (the barrels). They like to change on you and right when you think you know what one will do, it does the exact opposite.”
Upstream Brewing Company Grand Cru Clone
What’s the secret to making a good barrel aged beer? “Good wood, great beer, a little imagination and lots of patience.”
—Zac Triemert
Stone Brewing Company’s Darth Porter clone
“Don’t be afraid to use a barrel that has already been through many uses. There is more to the barrel aging process than extracting wood and bourbon, brandy or wine flavors.”
— Mitch Steele
Jolly Pumpkin Brewing Company La Roja clone
“This one of our signature beers, if you will. It is loosely based in the Flanders sour red tradition.” — Ron Jeffries
