This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 20A - American Porter.

This recipe is closely inspired by Denny Conn's famous porter recipe. Using all New Zealand malt, the hops are Tettnang and a bit of US Cascade (it's an American porter after all). The result is dark chocolate and coffee flavours balanced by caramel leading to a full body - the perfect brew for a cool evening.

Target ABV: 6.3%

This recipe is an American spin on the New Zealand Pilsner 2021 BJCP Style guide X5, created specifically to showcase the newly arrived American hop Alora.

Green Card is a recipe created for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

Alora hops boast an abundant and unique oil profile. They deliver flavour and aroma of peach, apricot, sweet melon and yuzu, and are just begging to be unleashed on a hoppy NZ style Pilsner.

It is built upon a pale slightly bready malt base of Gladfield pilsner and wheat malt, with moderate bittering and herbal and citrus notes from the use of US cashmere hops in the boil, followed by generous late additions and dry hopping with Alora hops. It’s likely that you will want to drink this beer as soon as you can, so to put an additional new spin on things a cool hybrid lager strain, NovaLager, is used. The finished beer will pour a pale golden colour with a frothy white head. It will drink dry, with a malty perception of sweetness, and an abundant and unique hop profile. You might just end up brewing and drinking this one all summer long.

This recipe is designed to be in keeping with the 2021 BJCP Style guide 5D - German Pils.

A German Pils should be a pale, dry, bitter German lager featuring a prominent hop aroma. Crisp, clean, and refreshing, with a bright golden colour and excellent head retention”. German all the way by design, Betsmalz Best pils makes up the bulk of the grist, with a touch of chit malt to ensure that a big fluffy head lingers to the bottom of your pint. Conforming to the Reinheitsgebot (German purity law), acidulated malt takes care of the pH adjustment of the mash, dialled in precisely to help deliver a crisp dry finish. Firm bittering with Hallertau Magnum hops and finishing with floral, herbal and spicy Tettnanger hops makes for maximum thirst quenching drinkability. Prost!

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 05D - German Pils.

Now here's a style not many have heard of before. No, this is not Peroni clone, this beer actually has flavour! This beer is inspired by Tipopils - a beer made by one Italian craftbrewery - and like other obscure beer styles has become a darling of some major US craft breweries.

So what makes it different? Simply put, it's similar to a German pilsner - but with a big difference: it's dry hopped with noble hops. This makes this beer very unique, instead of the tropical fruit bombs you get mostly these days, this is crisp like a pilsner should be - but also floral and a little background spicy. The perfect summer beer!
