Oatmeal Stout & Coffee Stout

We are finally getting around to brewing our winter seasonal stout. Since it's well into spring, we decided to split the batch between oatmeal stout and coffee stout.

Best Bitter

As much as we love hoppy beers, it is nice to get some practice with more malt forward beers. British best bitters are great malt-forward beers that you can drink a lot of. We like to keep more sessionable beers in our keg fridge in order to have quicker turnover between beers. This recipe is mostly based off of our friend Roy's recipe, which we tasted and really enjoyed recently.

Black IPA w/ Simcoe and Amarillo hops

We have been wanting more and more hoppy beers to drink so we decided to make an IPA. We went with a black IPA as it is getting colder and colder outside. Recently we have been using exclusively citra and mosaic hops but it is starting to get old. Decided to switch it up with one of our favorite hops (simcoe) and it's classic partner (amarillo).

Rustic Rye Saison w/ American(ish) Hops

Kayla and I have been thinking about experimenting more with Brettanomyces. We did ferment our Berliner Weisse with brett but that also had other bugs. After researching through the various homebrew blogs, this is what we came up with for a first try. Our hope is that we get a rustic saison that has equal parts funk and hops.

Coffee Stout

As the summer heats up, Kayla and I thought "What better way to beat the heat then a nice refreshing coffee stout?". Obviously we are crazy.

Hoppy American Brown Ale

We had open containers of cascade and willamette, in addition to several crystal and dark grains on hand. Obviously we decided to make a brown IPA! Recipe is loosely inspired by Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale.

Citra American Wheat

As the "Throwback" IPA kicked, we thought it would be good to brew a light hoppy beer to drink as it starts getting unbearably cold. We just received a pound of citra hops and thought that an American wheat could be quite thirst quenching. As it is our style, we decided to ten toward the hoppy side on this brew.
