Ten Penny Ale

[nelstrodomus]

One of my favorite beers, brewed right in East Hartford CT. Anyone familiar? If so, anyone ever tried to clone it?

I like Ten Penny Ale too. Have you tried the reserve, its good. I have not tried to clone Ten Penny Ale. I have only been brewing a couple of years now, still extract, will get into AG next year.

Old Burnside hasn't excited me. And many of their latest releases in the 1L swingtops have been quite overpriced. I'll enjoy a Ten Penny on draft if that's a bar's craft beer stand-by, but other than that.....rarely.

It appears as though Olde Burnside is a 50/50 regarding people's experiences with them. Personally, I love the beer and intend on having it as a guest tap at my house at all times, I find it incredibly drinkable as a session ale, plus my girlfriend likes it so it's a good idea to make the SWMBO happy.

I find their dirty penny to be good, but nothing special, however, I'm a huge fan of their Christmas Ale that they put out every year.

Back to the original question, does anyone have a recipe or a similar ale that they've made?

In case you do not get BYO. The recent issue has a clone recipe for Ten Penny Ale. I have not tried it yet but will once my wife and I move in a few months and my brew equipment comes out of storage. I was looking at the Olde Burnside site the other day and you can buy well water there for $.50 a gal. If I make the clone I plan on buying some of their water to make the clone.
