10 Most Popular Beer Recipes Round-Up

Sometimes in a blog format older articles get lost – judging by the amount of traffic they get, these are worthy of a bump up to the front page again.  If you’re looking for something tasty to brew, give one a try.  They all turned out great, even if they didn’t go exactly to plan.

The List!

1. Denny’s Rye IPA – This recipe already has something of a cult following with internet home brewers.  Mostly because its freakin’ good!  Lots of hop flavor as you’d expect from an IPA and the Rye adds an interesting character.
2. Blonde Ale - A bit of a surprise at #2, but still a good, clean, drinkable beer.  You could also try it as a lager with a clean lager year.  Makes a good base for a fruit beer!
3. Belgian Witbier – Hoegaarden, Blue Moon, Allagash White, Mothership Wit – there are a million examples of this style.  With good reason, it’s apparently quite popular at #3.
4. Classic American Pilsner – Pre-Prohibition American Style Lager.  Really hard to find a commercial version these days – so brew your own.
5. California Common – A.K.A. Steam Beer.  The most common version is Anchor Steam, but there are many others now.  If you’d like to brew something lager-esqe but don’t have the equipment, this might be for you.
6. American Lager - The modern-day fizzy, yellow lager.  Quite tasty when you brew your own though!
7. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone – This was the first beer I ever tried to brew at home.  Unfortunately it wasn’t using this recipe, otherwise it might have turned out better.
8. Watermelon Wheat – The perfect summer beer?  Inspired by Hell or High Watermelon Wheat from the 21A.
9. SchwarzBier – Let’s take a pilsner and make it black!  Hardly a new invention, serve this classic to your friends who think “all dark beers are thick, heavy and icky”!
10. American Amber Ale - Hop-head session ale.  Big hop flavor at low gravity – so drink a few!

Now get out there and brew something!
