Czar's
Star
Russian Imperial Stout |
After several tries, I think I finally got
this one right. It's a strong, dark, hoppy stout, but quite smooth instead
of harsh and bitter. |

Soiled
Kilt
80/- Scottish Ale |
That means "80 shillings," which
used to be both the price of the beer and an indication of its strength.
This is not a very powerful beer, but it is malty and has a good body. |

Hubble
Dubbel
Belgian Dubbel |
This is a strong, malty Belgian ale. Because
of the use of authentic Belgian candi sugar, it is not as heavy
as all-malt strong ales. |
|
|
|
Tiger's
Claw
India Pale Ale |
This is a hoppy beer, but it still has a good,
rounded malt profile to back it up. This uses English hops, as an IPA should.
If you want Cascades, see the APA. |

Seamus
O'Shit's
Irish Stout |
Since this does not have any sourness to it,
it is closer to Murphy's or Beamish than Guinness. It is a very light beer
than even non-stout drinkers enjoy.
This beer won first place in the Stout category at the
1996 Capitol District Open.

Beat
the Heat Wheat
Weizen |
This is a great summer beer - light and refreshing.
It also uses Bavarian wheat beer yeast, so it has the banana and clove
flavors some don't like in weizens. |
|

|
Reunification
Weisse
Berliner Weisse |
I refuse to label this a "Berlin-style
wheat beer." It's just too darn good. I used an authentic sour mash
to create a 3% alcohol beer with a tart, tangy taste that only lactobacillus
can provide. Another great summer beer that people really like if you don't
tell them how it's made. |

Merkin
Pale Ale
Amercian Pale Ale |
I made this beer in a large part for all the
people who thought I didn't like APAs, just because I don't like it when
they're labeled IPAs. This beer is full of Cascade hops, right up front,
bold and delicious. |

Black
Cow
Milk Stout |
This was my first try at a milk stout. While
the recipe needs some work, it got a lot of compliments. I'm brewing it
again later this year, so an improved version will follow. |
|
|
|
Bit
O' All Right
Bitter |
This is an "ordinary bitter," just
slightly over 4% alcohol and not hoppy. Maris Otter malt extract and Kent
Goldings hops give it that British pub ale flavor. |
|

|
Red
Reign
Glühkriek |
It's a little difficult to try to brew a Glühkriek,
since I've only ever found one example of these Belgian spiced cherry ales
imported. Expect this tricky recipe to go through many revisions. |
