Martin's American Pale Ale Recipe Kit

Brew shop-quality beer at home, no brew shop required. This American Pale Ale recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's American Pale Ale, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The American Pale Ale is the beer that taught a generation what American hops taste like. When craft brewers took the English pale ale template and dropped in homegrown varieties, the result came out brighter and more citrusy, with a pine and grapefruit snap the English versions never had. Sierra Nevada's take became the benchmark.

It pours light amber over a clean malt backbone that stays out of the hops' way. Warrior sets the bitterness, then Amarillo and Cascade layer on melon and orange with a floral edge in the late boil. At 5% and around 40 IBU, it hits the balance point the style is built on.

Recipe At A Glance

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Great Chit in place of the recipe's Carapils®. We stock dry yeast only, so LalBrew BRY-97 (West Coast Ale) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Northwest Ale (Wyeast Labs 1332).
