are quite a number of choices of Homebrewed Beer (55k each) here: the IPA or Indian Pure Ale is hoppy tasting, the Russian Stout is dark, with hints of chocolate and coffee, the Wheat is just like a summer ale, accented with a bit of zest, the Porter is malty, dark, with a hint of smokiness, and the Duvvel is, yes, just like the real brand. The Cider is not your mom and pop apple “juice”, and the Jakarta Pride tastes like British bitter. Each has its own characteristics, there’s something for everybody.
