What type of beer can I choose to make?
Pale Ale: This easy-drinking beer is sure to please any beer lover in your life. It’s light in body, slightly sweet, crisp, and has a nice balance of malt to hops. This simple beer has notes of pine and grapefruit paired with a toasty caramel base.
Milkshake IPA: A milkshake IPA is not your average IPA. This style is sweet, fruity, and creamy. The hops add flavors of melon, papaya, and nectarine. The lactose sugar creates a silky sip to complement a sweet biscuity base. This beer finishes dry to prevent it from being too sweet.
Black IPA (Cascadian dark ale): The black IPA is a robust brew. This medium-bodied beer is dark, but not quite as heavy as a porter or stout. It has notes of coffee and chocolate to accompany flavors of pine and berry from the hops.
Wheat: The wheat beer is a classic recipe that produces a bready beer with creamy head. Lemon peel and citrusy flavors from the hops brighten each sip.
