This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 18B - American Pale Ale.

We are hop heads, we can't deny it. This pale ale bursts with tropical aromas & flavours.  The recipe has been updated recently to highlight an exciting new American hop Meridian, supported with Citra and NZ hops Nectaron and Pacifica.

This recipe has been designed to be consistent with the 2021 BJCP Style guide 25B - Saison, but with a twist. It’s dark.

Dark Star is a recipe created for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery, at the special in-house request of Dan Hagenaar! You can expect all of the classic attributes of a saison – it’s dry, effervescent, firmly bittered and refreshing with fruity, spicy and peppery esters.

In order to create a dark saison with the classic drinkability that the style is typically known for, this recipe is carefully built on a base malt bill of Pilsner, Vienna and Wheat Malt, with just enough Caraffa Special II, Redback and Crystal Malt, to provide added colour and depth, without being either sweet or roasty. East Kent Goldings and Saaz hops add earthy, spicy, herbal and floral notes accentuated by the warmer fermentation with the saison yeast.

The nights are dark and starry, time for a Dark Star we think. Santé.

SMASHadelic is a Single Malt And Single Hop IPA recipe designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

SMASH IPAs are an ideal way to get to know the character of a hop, so we thought what better way to celebrate the recent release of New Zealand Hops’ exciting new variety Superdelic™. This recipe allows the hop’s unique oil character to shine by incorporating just enough supporting malt character from Maris Otter, with a clean crisp fermentation profile.

Coming in at 6.6% abv, this recipe provides the perfect backdrop for experiencing the range of flavours and aromas of red fruit, candy, citrus and tropical fruit, characteristic of this new hop. So go on, grab yourself a kit and smash it out of the park.

Sunshine of your Love is a cream ale designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

The sun is shining fiercely, it’s hot as hell and you have sweat running down your back after mowing the lawns. What is better than a classic lawnmower beer such as a cream ale? An easy drinking ale, well attenuated and refreshing with more character than typical American lagers.

This beer is all about balance, being subtle and restrained with med-low bitterness and low malt sweetness. Coming in at 5.0% abv, it’s light and crisp, with maize and sugar to lighten the body and soft spicy (herbal and floral) notes from the Willamette hops. High levels of carbonation will make it super refreshing. Suggested music pairing: Cream, Sunshine of your Love.

ABV: 5.0%
