Digital and Plus Members OnlyDear Replicator, I have spent many days traveling for work to Elkhart, Indiana.

Brasserie Saint James’ The Wit Album: Replicator
Digital and Plus Members OnlyDear Replicator, We recently took some family and friends to the Brasserie Saint James in Reno, Nevada.

Eddyline Brewing River Runners Pale Ale: Replicator
Digital and Plus Members OnlyDear Replicator, My friends keep bothering me to make a clone of Eddyline Brewing’s River Runners Pale Ale, made in Colorado.

India Pale Lager Clone Recipes
Digital and Plus Members OnlyIndia Pale Lager (IPL) is a modern hybridization of the India Pale Ale (IPA) style and a (insert your own interpretation of the) “lager component” that has taken a craft beer industry foothold in recent years.

Peekskill Brewery’s Malt Balls Brown Ale: Replicator

Dirty Hands Brewing Company’s Liberty Ship Stout: Replicator
Digital and Plus Members OnlyDear Replicator, I used to live in Vancouver, Washington but I took a job transfer to Southern California. This was a mistake as I moved from a beer-laden area to something much less. The only good news is that I started homebrewing after I moved down here. I like dark, malty beers. Just before I
Kodiak Island Brewing Co.’s Oktoberfest: Replicator
Digital and Plus Members OnlyDear Replicator, A couple of years ago my dad decided to take my brother and I on what he called an “extreme guys fishing get away.” I wasn’t too excited about the fishing or the location — Kodiak, Alaska.

Big Horse Brewing Company’s McStallion Scotch Export Ale: Replicator
Digital and Plus Members OnlyDear Replicator, I’m hoping to convince my husband to brew something other than the super bitter beers he likes. I normally just drink big red wines.
