Only info I've gotten out of them are the hops used in Hoppy Birthday - prob the best pale ale I've ever had...
Via Pat: Pacific Jade, Centennial, Amarillo, Columbus, Nelson Sauvin, Citra and Simcoe.
Hey,
I brewed a Duet clone back in January. Here's the link to my recipe (backbone of which is from Pat at Alpine), and there's a link there for the tasting as well...

It came out very tasty, but unfortunately I don't have a prayer of testing it against the real thing. I loved Duet when I tried it in SD last September, but haven't had it since. I have a few bottles of the clone left, and it's amazingly held up quite well, even now. It won a bronze medal and went on to the final round of the NHC this year as well.
Hi. Pat was actually very forthcoming when I emailed him about my Nelson clone recipe. For me, sending him something that I was working on and asking him how to get a particular element of the recipe correct led to him giving up a little more information.
My advice is to send Pat a recipe you have already worked out and see what he sends you back. Keep in mind that Alpine is brewing pretty much at capacity all of the time so Pat is a busy guy.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I dropped off a bottle of my beer for him at the brewery. That earned me a review of how close I had gotten I still have the email of Pat saying I had made a good Nelson clone!
