What is a clone beer recipe?

A clone beer recipe is designed to closely replicate the flavor, aroma, and appearance of a popular commercial beer. You can brew your favorite brew yourself without needing a corporate budget.

Can I really make my favorite commercial beer at home?

Yes! Clone extract beer kits include the ingredients and steps to match your favorite beer’s taste. It’s the closest you can get to a side-by-side pour, and you’ll never have to stand in line at the store.

Are clone beers legal to make and sell?

They’re absolutely legal to make at home for personal use. Just don’t try to sell your batch using the original brand’s name, because trademarks still apply.

Do I need special equipment to brew a clone recipe kit?

Nope! All our clone kits are extract-based and designed for standard homebrew gear. If you’ve got one of our basic beer equipment kits, you’re good to go.

How close do these clone recipes get to the original?

Very close! We test and refine each recipe until the difference is barely noticeable. Some of our brewers even say they like the clone better. This makes sense, because when you brew it, the beer is at its peak freshness.

Want to try your first clone brew? Start with the Snowy Mountains American Pale Ale Extract Beer Recipe Kit, our tribute to the iconic Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It's piney, citrusy, and as refreshing as a hike through (no, not the desert) snowy mountains.

Pro Tip: Want to get even closer to the original? Brew the kit as-is, then take notes and tweak future batches, like adjusting hop additions or trying a different yeast. Clone brewing is your chance to dial in your perfect version. The fun part about tweaking a clone recipe is that many brewers will like their version better than the actual commercial beer they're trying to clone.

What food goes with clone beers?

Whatever you ate last time you had the original! (Of course we had to cop out, or else we'd have to list every food imaginable!). Or skip the pairing and enjoy it with your finest late-night decisions. Nostalgia pairs with anything in a beer glass.
