-New Pints-
Aslan Brewing Co.
De La Rouge
Brewed in the same manner as our Mandarina Queen IPA, this version uses only Barbe Rouge hops. This new experimental variety from the French hop breeding program delivers stone fruit and red berry notes with a prototypical dankness. Singular usage of hops can either work very well, or be a complete disaster. This particular variety is great all by itself.
6.8% ABV
Satan’s Airport
The intense Imperial Milk Stout was brewed with over 30lbs of custom roasted, organic Guatemalan coffee beans with their friends from Primer Coffee.
9.99% ABV
Kulshan Brewing Co.
Hoppy Lager
Brewed using experimental lager hops from Indie Hops in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, this Small Batch lager is subtle, nuanced, and very sessionable. Wholesome bready malt flavors lay the foundation for this beer, while on the hop side there are pleasing floral and earthy notes, as well as light citrus and lemongrass. Clean, crisp, and dry, this hoppy lager is a darned tasty beer.
Three Fingers Imperial IPA
Named after Three Fingers Mountain near Darrington. Aroma notes of mango, peach, and orange dominate, while on the tongue grapefruit pith and pine lead the way.
Stones Throw Brewing
Structures Brewing
DopeThrone Double IPA
Brewed with a simple malt profile and hopped with Citra, African Queen and Simcoe (very generously). Not available in cans but definitely available in growlers.
Illuminati Brewing
Captain Brown Ale
Smooth Drinking Brown Ale. 5.6% ABV
