what to brew for BMC lovers?

Ok so when I brew it pretty much ends up being for myself and my neighbor up the street. And my friends if they are lucky enough to come visit while any is still left. Anyways mom has been pestering me for some time now to brew her something she will like. Her favorite beer is Michalob Light - at least it isn't ultra....right?

So I wanted to start a compendium of recipes I can brew for her enjoyment.Unfortunately Lagering is out for me as I don't have a temp controlled freezer/fridge unit as of yet.

I have come across this recipe, but am looking for more to add to my recipe book. Anymore have some good recipes that your friends with not so quite refined palates love?

Cream ales and blonde aleas are a good place to start, in that order.

yeah I figured the cream ale would be a good starting platform. I should mention she hates hops the taste smell and everything in between. So she is more of a malt lover...although I'm pretty sure she doesn't really know what true malt tastes like

Try Northern Brewer's Patersbier recipe. It's light colored and not bitter, so it doesn't scare off the BMC crowd. As it ages, I've had dark fruit flavors develop. I just harvested yeast from my last bottle of the first batch, so I can brew it again.

I have seen California commons work well on my friends/family that are BMC lovers. Along with cream ales and blondes.

Because everyone loves a blonde...

American wheat beers usually will work with the BMC crowd.

Belgian White

Second on the american wheat with a neutral ale yeast.

Koelsch!!

I second Kolsch. Easy drinking, perfect for summer cookouts.

I third the Kolsch. Just started drinking my first Kolsch. Great crisp, beautiful beer.

I brewed a combination of EdWort's and Yooper's pale ale recipes for a gathering last summer that I knew would have a lot of non-craft brew drinkers. Both are fairly malt-forward pale ales, and not overly hoppy, and the resultant ale was very well received by the crowd. I left with a tiny fraction of what I arrived with!

Go for the Kolsch. It's a great gateway beer.

I've found that any well balanced ale will suit the BMC drinkers at my brewery. Anything that is not too roasty or too bitter always has pleased my crowds. May Mojave Red has turned some opinions with people saying they usually done like dark beers. I just tell them that it is not a dark beer. I usually have a dark beer to let them taste too. I've made some dark American lagers that really impress those lighter beer drinkers too. It's all about balance.

It might be a stretch, but a petit saison might not be a bad idea. No over-the-top hops, and sort of spritzy and wheat-y. The stretch part may be the yeasty flavors.

I find the even a Kolsch can have too much noticeable hop presence for the BMC crowd. Believe it or not, I've had more success with Belgian styles, particularly Wits, Saisons, and, amazingly, Triples.

Fruit beers also go over well.

I brewed this several weeks ago and cracked one open yesterday. I think it will fit the bill. Not too heavy but not a "lite" beer either. No hops taste.
Definately be drinking this one at the lake on the hot summer days. Thanks Yooper!
