O’Shea Brewing’s Hop Monster Double IPA
This West Coast style double IPA is a topseller. It weighs in at 8.1% ABV, and, with over a 1/2 lb. of hops, the IBU’s register in at a whopping 141 IBU’s. This beer is very smooth with a nice hop punch and a great citrusy aroma. Let this beer age and you will want more!
Blanche de Ballard (Belgian Witbier)
To duplicate the authentic slightly sour tang of this style, using the Belgian liquid yeast strain is recommended. There are no finishing hops so that the aroma and character of the spices and yeast can surface. The best results can be obtained from the coriander by buying the whole seed and grinding it fresh on brew day. A complex and refreshing treat to savor in any season.

Dark Horse Brewing’s Thirsty Trout Porter clone
According to Dark Horse’s website, “Thirsty Trout is a rich, robust American Porter that will have you yelling “CHOCOLATE!” after the first whiff. Dark brown in color with medium to heavy body and hints of light roast. Aromas of chocolate leave way to a full mouthfeel and somewhat sweet finish to make this porter a desirable companion.”
