Essential Beer Making Starter Kit Recipe Options:
Pale Ale
For fans of craft beer, a recipe like this one is likely very familiar. The classic American Pale Ale gave rise to what we consider craft beer today, and many define it to be the original American craft beer style. Perfectly balanced malt and hop character paired with a clean fermentation profile gives this recipe rich flavor, moderate bitterness, and an approachable alcohol content while maintaining supreme drinkability and satisfaction.

American Brown Ale
If big flavors are your style, look no further! Overlapping layers of elaborate caramel, dark chocolate and faint coffee malt flavors satisfy the palate and relent to an unexpected hop presence characteristic of American ales. This beer finishes with an impressive balance of flavor and refreshment making it perfect to pair with nearly any dish. View recipe instructions.
