	Hefe Weizen For those that prefer the traditional clove, vanilla, phenolic character found in fine European wheat beers. Original Gravity: 1.052     IBUs 23		Scottish Ale Slight smokiness, a mild caramel flavor, and hops grown in the UK brings about a classic Scottish ale Original Gravity: 1.058     IBUs 38
	Summer Ale A light refreshing ale, with mild European hops.  Perfect for those who like Mexican, Australian, and Canadian Styles Original Gravity: 1.044     IBUs 24		Belgian Ale Brewed with Belgian candi sugar this beer has a deceptively light body which conceals it's high alcohol content.  Special yeast gives this beer the classic Belgian flavor profile with banana, clove, and vanilla like flavors coming through. Original Gravity: 1.063     IBUs 21
	English Bitter Despite the name our English style bitter is very mild in flavor.  With a hint of caramel and the spiciness of English hops this beer reminds some of Fullers and Bass ales. Original Gravity: 1.052     IBUs 33		4th St. Porter Dark and chocolate malts make up this selection. Well balanced with a very slight sweetness. A commercial example is Sierra Nevada Porter. Original Gravity: 1.058     IBUs 38
	American Pale Ale This pale ale is fashioned after some of the classic California pale ales.  Brings to mind Sierra Nevada Pale ale and Red Tail. Original Gravity: 1.054     IBUs 44		Dry Stout Designed in the style of Guiness Stout. Barley flakes and roasted barley give this beer wonderful roasted flavors and a creamy head. Original Gravity: 1.062     IBUs 44
	Amber Ale This is a recipe from the now defunct Central Coast Brewery. It has a blend of spicy and floral hop character with a clean finish. Original Gravity: 1.054     IBUs 23		Barley Wine Approach with caution! This one really packs a wallop, both with alcoholic strength and a very high hopping rate. Expect to wait a few months for this one to mellow out. Patience pays off. At a year this beer is truly awesome. Original Gravity: 1.122     IBUs 86
	India Pale Ale IPAs were originally brewed to survive the long ship voyage from England to India. Slightly higher in alcohol and hops to survive the long journey. This one is true to style. Original Gravity: 1.064     IBUs 62		Cerveza Negra For those who like a dark beer with light bitterness and without roasted flavors. Original Gravity: 1.056     IBUs 24
	American Red This is for all of the hop heads out there, with a double dose of Centennial hops. Original Gravity: 1.054     IBUs 44		California Lager A true California classic. A special lager yeast that works very well at ale temperatures gives this beer its unique flavor. A commercial example would be Anchor Steam. Original Gravity: 1.055     IBUs 46
	Brown Ale American version of a classic British brown ale.  Malty and lightly hopped with northwestern hops.  A good commercial example is Big Sky Moose Drool. Original Gravity: 1.054     IBUs 25		Pilsner Light and crisp, this pilsner is fashioned after the European pilsners.  A commercial example would be Pilsner Urquell. Original Gravity: 1.051     IBUs 25
