Hey all, so I was soaking the labels off of bottles the other night and had a bottle of Three Floyds Brian Boru Red Ale. So now I have to get ahold of a clone recipe. I saw a couple of other dead-end threads of others just like me that are searching for this elusive recipe. So if anyone out there has the means of attaining one, please post it.

The Amarillo hops is the one thing that we've got figured out (okay it's Three Floyds, do they make a beer that doesn't have Amarillo in it?). Anyone got a line on the other ingredients?

I'm wondering if I can't just mess with a red ale recipe and just add the Amarillo? Any advice is appreciated. It's dang good beer.

FInding a solid red and adding Amarillos sounds like a good place to start. Dialing in a clone recipe can often take a couple batches, you'll end up with a tasty beer that is in the right direction though. Some medium/dark caramel malts are certainly in there.

Their site doesn't have much, 5.5% ABV 40 IBUs, a bit of help anyway. Looking at some clone recipes for some of Three Floyds other beers can help as well, many breweries have similar malt/hop tendencies for many of their beers.

I'm with ya - I am planning on my next brew to be an Irish Red as I want something quaffable as we get into the warm weather here in Georgia. I however am a hophead, and many Irish Reds are very suppressed from a hop standpoint. I love several of the Three Floyds beers, but haven't had the Brian Boru. Does it have more hop character? If so that's what I'm wanting to make.

New to the site and looking to make a clone of the boru shortly. Anybody make any progress on a recipe?
