KOLSCH

German Blonde Ale 4.7%

For all you Kölsch fans out there that keep asking for it to come back, we got you. We went back to the Kölsch yeast from a tiny yeast bank on the east coast that we used for the very first batch of this bier almost 3 years ago. It truly is our favorite yeast for this style as Kölsch, unlike a lot of German bier, is a very yeast driven style. Kölsch yeast is know for its light white wine or pear esters and this particular yeast might deliver our favorite ester profile of all the yeasts we’ve used for this style. Probably the easiest drinking beer we make and the definition of Bier Flavored Bier.

Hops: Magnum, Lorien

Pale Lager

German Style Pils 4.7%

New Batch of Pale Lager is here and we think it’s the best batch to date. Traditional German ingredients, including malt that has never been imported into the US until just this spring, long cold fermentation, and natural carbonation deliver a level of authenticity that we’re never been able to achieve in the past. We’re incredibly excited about the progress we’ve made in our lager program over the last four months. This particular batch does have a bit more hop presence than previous iterations in both flavor, aroma, and bitterness.

PNW Pils

American Pils 4.7%

PNW Pils returns this week. The goal with this beer is to use traditional German lager brewing techniques but instead of using imported malt and hops we’re using ingredients grown a little closer to home. Each batch of this beer will be slightly different with the goal of showcasing different malt and hops from the Pacific Northwest. For this batch 80% of the malt is grown and malted in Idaho and all the hops are grown and processed in the Willamette Valley of Oregon by the fine folks at Indie Hops. We used the same exact hotside process, hopping schedule, yeast, fermentation profile, and lagering times as our Pale Lager which is made with traditional German Ingredients. We even chose hops that were similar to the hops in our Pale Lager and used them at the same points in the boil.

Malt: Pure Idaho Pils Hops: Sterling, US Tettnang, Crystal

table bier

Dry Blonde Ale 4.5%

Table Bier doesn’t really fit into any specific category or style. It takes inspiration from some of our favorite low ABV blonde biers and kinda mashes them all into one that’s not inheriting like any of them. Dry and bitter like some of our favorite low ABV biers from Brasserie de la Senne in Belgium but fermented warm with our favorite Kölsch yeast for a little extra fruitiness, and dry hopped with a classic low alpha American hop that’s bred to mimic the character of European Noble Hops. An incredibly refreshing bier that pairs well with food, conversation, or your favorite outdoor activity.

Hops: Sterling, Crystal

DOPPELBOCK

Whiskey Barrel Aged 10.5%

Introducing our latest barrel aged offering, Doppelbock. Brewed at the beginning of May 2023 this traditional strong German lager spent a little over 13 months in Vanilla Toast wheated whiskey barrels from Alpine Distilling. We’re incredibly proud of how this bier turned out. Most barrel aged biers these days are much higher in ABV and final gravity than this. Often times a smaller bier like this can get overpowered by a spirit barrel and come off as thin and hot and honestly not that enjoyable to drink. Thankfully this beer is none of that. The whiskey character is very present in flavor and aroma but we’re blown away by how soft and supple the beer presents. Notes of caramel and dried fruit are complimented by soft flavors or vanilla and baking spice. The drinkability of this beer will help it pair well with a hearty meal on the cool fall evenings that are just around the corner.
