I really like this beer from Double Mountain (Hood River, OR). I think it is in the ESB style, but I am not quite sure! I am an extract+steep brewer, and I have never written a recipe from scratch, so I am thinking I will start with a generic American ESB recipe? I am not sure if I should use all pilsner base malt and then steep with some dark munich malt, or what. Also not sure which yeast to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do people have good luck asking breweries directly?
Here is the description from the website:

Created specially for Mount Hood Meadows’ 40th anniversary in 2007, Alpenbrew features a beautifully nutty maltiness, buoyed by spicy/herbal hops and fruitiness from the yeast. Look for this one at the Alpenstube, The Finish Line and the Mazot up on the slopes this winter, and at a select number of wholesale accounts.
Brewed with organic Pilsner and Dark Munich malt; Newport, Perle and Mount Hood hops. 5.0% ABV, 40 BU
