Description

The second collaboration with our friends at WoodBurl Coffee Roasters, this Belgian Saison brewed with Cascara (dried coffee fruit) is hazy, gold in color with light orange highlights. The addition of Jarrylo hops during the boil provides some citrusy-orange notes and a bit of spiciness. The malt character is light and crisp. Finishes very dry. Additional highlights: Made with a special Franco-Belgian farmhouse yeast blend that provides a mild tartness to the finish. Also used Cascara (Cascara is the dried fruit from the coffee ëcherryí, the seed of which is the coffee ëbeaní) which imparts a mild spice quality that is reminiscent of green pepper to the flavor and aroma.

We really enjoy brewing with rye. It has a dry, spicy characteristic that plays very well with other flavors. In many styles of beer, a touch of rye can be used to bring balance to an otherwise one-directional taste. For this beer, though, we started with the rye and piled it on, ensuring it would play first fiddle. The rest of the ingredients - the base, dark, and caramel malts, along with the Czech Saaz hops - were selected for their ability to highlight the rye and play off of its boldness. Since large quantities of rye can sometimes yield an unpalatable harshness, the finishing touch on this brew was to nitrogenate rather than carbonate. The creaminess of the nitrogen pour smoothes the edge, making for very gentle, yet full-bodied beer. We hope you enjoy.

Brewmaster Brian took our Belgian Brown Ale, Behind Abbey Doors, and put it in a firkin with a bunch of fresh red raspberries. Traditionally served using gravity, this cask conditioned ale is a smooth, rare treat.

Brewmaster Brian took our flagship India Black Ale, Dr Pangloss, and put it in a firkin with a bunch of citra and comet hops. Traditionally served using gravity, this cask conditioned ale is a smooth, rare treat.

Brewmaster Brian took our flagship Porter, Eleanor, and put it in a firkin with a bunch of vanilla beans and cocoa nibs. Traditionally served using gravity, this cask conditioned ale is a smooth, rare treat.

It is a good clean hefe.

While traditional in British brewing methods, it is nontraditional in ingredients, using German malt and hops. Look for the classic British Bitter characteristics (dry, balanced, tastes like more), but with a German influence. In an era of bigger is better, Notch Bitter shows that subtlety still has merit. It's pretty damn tasty too.

Fourth up in the cask only series is a collaboration beer with Drink Craft Beer! This cask only beer is based on the idea of the Breakfast Stout, where a few in the AM won't curtail your activities the remainder of the day. A British Milk Stout serves as the base recipe, where a significant portion of oats and milk sugar provide a creamy sweetness. The beer is then blended in the cask with a lightly roasted, fruity Colombian coffee. The result is an extremely smooth, mellow stout with only a light roast from the coffee and barley. A real day drinker!

Light amber in color with berry, pink grapefruit, and lychee in the aroma. Called a "benchmark Northwest IPA" by the Tacoma Brews Tribune Blog. Heavily hopped, but well balanced. Hops include Amarillo, Centennial, and Simcoe. Rotating dry hop! Check with your bartender to find out what the most recent hops are. Currently, this is Columbus and Mosaic.

Throw your expectations out the window. We know Stouts are supposed to be dark, but what fun is that? Really. Casper White Stout is a white buffalo standing out from the herd – a diamond in the rough, white chocolate – you get it. Distinctively golden in color with big Pilsen malt flavor, and a touch of hops. Your next step? Pour it in your glass. Available in 6pack Cans and on Nitrogen Tap.
