Brew Your Own

Cloning your favorite brew just got easier

If you’re into homebrewing, one association’s new guide is something about which to truly get excited.

This week, the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) announced the launch of a new “commercial clone” guide. The guide, which lists one beer for every state, features a wide variety of craft brews that can be reproduced in your home to the specifications of the original brewery. And the list isn’t just a bunch of obscure brands, either: It includes household names for craft beer drinkers, including Bell’s Two Hearted Ale (from Michigan), Brooklyn Brewery’s Brooklyn Lager (from New York), Left Hand Brewing Company’s Milk Stout (from Colorado), and Deschutes Brewery’s Black Butte Porter (from Oregon).

These beers—with recipes coming from the original breweries around the country—are often produced in large batches for commercial consumption, but AHA has done the hard work of narrowing down the recipes into more manageable 5 to 10 gallon batches.
