Previously Brewed Beers

These are beers that I brewed but have been consumed by greedy beer drinkers who either visited or already live at the brewery:

• Archived Beers: 
  These are beers which I brewed, but most likely will not brew again... at least in the near future.  Currently, these are all recipes with Mr. Beer bases.
   


• Quarter Life Crisis Hoppy Red Ale
  Extreme American amber. Big, bold, lots of hops. Brewed it up using Jamil's West Coast Blaster as sort of a basis of the recipe.
  
  
• Leprechaun Stout
  A nicely balanced Irish Stout with just the right amount of peppermint to make this a minty treat.
  
  
• Tommy Hawk APA
  This was an attempt at replicating New Belgium's Brewery's Mighty Arrow APA. It turned out into a very tasty APA, but was a bit darker and more to the amber side than I really intended. It was also probably heavier than intended. The next attempt will be similar without the help of Mr. Beer. Have to get this brewed in time for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
  
  
• Phat & Tyred Amber Ale
  Might be the SheppyBrew "flagship" beer.
  
  
• Girly Berry Blonde Ale
  Early in my brewing career, I thought it would be a good idea to make a raspberry beer. It wasn't. I did think that if the raspberries were not there to ruin the beer flavor, it would be a good beer. As it turned out, I was right.
  
  
• Fox Sox Knox Rye Pale Ale
  Based mostly on a Can you Brew It recipe for Terrapin Type Pale Ale, this is my first recipe using rye.
  
  
• Blackhawk Black Ale
  Inspired by New Belgium Brewery's 1554, but it is not really the same at all. But, I love this beer. It has a nice citrusy hop flavor in a black chocolate backbone.
  
  
• Whisky Wife Wit
  Well, as part of my quest to start moving away from Mr. Beer ingredients, I have decided to brew up 2 versions of WWW. Both will be attempts to get closer to Blue Moon or Shock Top. This one will be completely free of Mr. Beer ingredients. The other one will use the old Mr. Beer formulation for the base.
  
  
• Dragon Spit II Brown Ale
  And still another beer I want to redo with my own recipe rather than using Mr. Beer ingredients. This uses mostly the grain bill from a Moose Drool clone I got from a combination of The Brewing Network and D-Rock's Moose Drool Clone. I am hopping similarly to my original dragon spit and keeping the brown sugar and cinnamon. This may end up being my most original recipe.
  
  
• Whisky Wife Wheat
  Mr. Beer version of a Belgium Wit for my wife.
  
  
• Wetta Blonde Ale
  A nice blonde ale for those of you who prefer to drink those lighter beers.
  
  
• Mr. Cowboy Gold Ale
  Nothing spectacular. Just using up some Mr. Beer UME / HME. Pretty standard blond / gold ale.
  
  
• X-Mas Ale 2010
  Dark, malty and spicy. Cherry flavor just below the surface to add some fun complexity. Merry Christmas to me.
  
  
• 15 Year Anniversary Amber Ale
  The beer model and I have been married for 15 years (as of 9/2/2010), and this is a little bit of a celebration ale.
  
  
• Bluefield Chocolate Ale
  Experimental brew. Trying to make something Chocolaty that my sister would like. Doomed for failure, but the worse that could happen is that I would have to drink it.
  
  
• Gringo Cerveza Jalapeño Cream Ale
  A summer-time "cream" ale with jalapenos added. Hoping this will be a great thing to try on Cinco-de-Mayo.
  
  
• Fat and Stoopid Amber Ale
  An attempt at make Phat & Tyred gone horribly wrong.
  
  
• Summer Lovin' American Wheat
  My beer model wanted to brew a beer like New Belgium's Sunshine Wheat on the 2011 National National Home-Brew Day.
  
  
• X-Mas Ale 2011
  Continuing the tradition of brewing special X-mas ales.
  
  

Future Brews

Beers that I am planning on brewing in the future.

• Fox Sox Knox Rye Pale Ale
  Based mostly on a Can you Brew It recipe for Terrapin Type Pale Ale, this is my first recipe using rye.
  
  
• Blackhawk Black Ale
  Inspired by New Belgium Brewery's 1554, but it is not really the same at all. But, I love this beer. It has a nice citrusy hop flavor in a black chocolate backbone.
  
  
• Dragon Spit II Brown Ale
  And still another beer I want to redo with my own recipe rather than using Mr. Beer ingredients.

• Summer Lovin' American Wheat
  My beer model wanted to brew a beer like New Belgium's Sunshine Wheat on the 2011 National National Home-Brew Day.
  
  
• Pompously Illegitimate Red Ale
  In honor of, but not meant to be a clone of Stone Brewery's Arrogant Bastard.
  
  
• Rationalité Poison d'Ereeeek
  SheppyBrew's first attempt at a sour ale. Brewed with a sour mash rather than bugs in the fermentation. Aged on cherries.
  
  

Random Internet Recipe's:

I would like to try the following recipes someday.  Putting them here so I can easily find them.

• 1554 Clone
  rniles from the Mr. Beer forum posted this.  I think I might try it sometime.  It is all-grain, so I may just use the specialty grains and hops (and spices) part of the recipe.  We'll see.
   
• Killians Irish Red Clone:
  Came across this on the internet and thought I would mark it for later.
   
• Moose Drool Clone:
  From D-Rock on the Mr. Beer Forums.
   
• D Train Brewery Maple Nut Brown Ale
  Not sure if I want to try another Maple, but just in case I am putting the link in here.  Another one from D-Rock on the Mr. Beer Forums.  I have to say this guy is my hero.
   
• Big Dave's Sam Adams Clone
  He did this "all grain", which I am not ready for, but he also gives an extract suggestion. 
   
• HHB's Dark Hefeweizen
  Mr. Beer ingredients with some steeping grains plus some DME.  Looks interesting to me.
   
• Mai Tyre (Fat Tire Clone)
  Another D-Rock recipe.  Partial Mash with pretty good instructions.  Looks somewhat similar to the one from my LHBS, but is sized for a Mr. Beer size keg.  Probably try this one first.
   
• BeerSmith Recipes
  Sample recipes from BeerSmith.
