Cranberry Pale is a champion of fruit beers. As one would expect from this being one of the recipes from my sensei Steve Tillman, everybody loves this beer. Slightly fruity with a touch of tart, this beer shines during both christmastime and summertime. It’s great to brew around Thanksgiving and christmas when cranberries are super…

Continuing my fervent interest in fruit beers, I wanted to brew a hopefully simple, single fruit beer. Colorado peaches are famous for being absolutely delicious. The best peaches I have ever tasted in this world have come from Colorado. Why not get some amazing CO peaches and make a simple, delicious beer? Certain fruits, while…

This was an interesting beer with a fun story. After brewing a fruit lambic, I felt pretty good about how quickly I was picking up fruit brewing. I started thinking crazy thoughts and thought how cool it would be to brew a beer that like a pie. I love beer. And I love pie. Especially…

Ever since I started writing about the beers I have brewed, Sour Cherries in the Snow is one of a couple that I’ve really been looking forward to. This is an incredible beer. Sour Cherries in the Snow could be commercialized and on stature with Lindemans Framboise Lambic. The wonderful cherry flavor with a slight…

I will apologize up-front. This is the point in my brewing history where I made the smart decision to not really record many notes of the beers I made, opting instead to simply remember everything about all the beers I brewed. The memorable beers, sure, I remember a lot about. It is the recipes in-between,…

Honey Lemon Wheat is a beer for the people. So unoffensive and crowd pleasing that it attracts even most hesitant of beer drinkers. With the right combination of ingredient descriptors in the title create an image in your mind far away from a normal beer. This one has honey. And lemon. And is a wheat…

This beer solidified my transition from hoppy beers to the rest of the beers. It reinforced that beers can be so amazingly diverse, even between similar styles. As I was typing out this recipe, while looking at my Belgium Trippel recipe, I noticed how similar the amount and type of ingredients were. Similar to Trippels,…

I brewed this beer on 4/20/2012. Yeah I know, 4/20, blaze it. Not that I made this beer with marijuana or anything (although that has been idea I’ve wanted to try) but I distinctly remember myself thinking how ironic it was, with me being a bit of a stoner in the past, that I in…

Before I started brewing, IPAs were my main squeeze. I enjoyed other beers too, although I typically thought they lacked the complexity that many of the different hop varieties can offer. Yeah, I don’t like young me either. Anyway, this beer is a recipe from one of my all-time absolute favorite breweries, Dry Dock Brewing…

These early stages of my brewing history are incredibly exciting from my initial immersion in the culture to buying equipment that would look at home in a chemistry department and very much nurturing the beginning of an aspect of my identity. I was so entranced in having a new, culinary-esque avenue to express creativity that…
