Chuckanut Brewery

10 Degree Czech Pilsner

This beer was made in collaboration with Wayfinder Brewing in Portland. This Czech style Lager is light bodied, but full of flavor. 10 degrees refers to the original gravity or total amount of sugar of the wort before it is fermented. Historically in the Czech Republic, beers are commonly named by their original gravity and the 10 degree Pilsner is popular in bars and restaurants across the country. Burnished gold and sparkling straight through the glass, this Pils goes through cold fermentation leaving the beer clear and bright after its long aging process. High levels of natural carbonation and healthy amount of Saaz hops create a dense pillowy white head on top of the golden liquid. The use of Bohemian Pilsner malt and 100% Czech grown Saaz hops make this is lager tasty and traditional. If you’re a lager nut like Chuckanut and Wayfinder’s brewers are, do not miss this beer!

Illuminati Brewing Co.

Crop Circles Fresh Hop IPA

Kulshan Brewing Co.

Fresh Hop IPA

This year’s Fresh Hop IPA was brewed with over 1,000 lbs of Citra and 400 lbs of el Dorado and was carefully shepherded by our brewers from farm to brewhouse. It’s citrus fruit forward followed by a touch of pine and finishes with crisp orchard fruits and subtle bread. Fresh Hop is a homegrown hop explosion that will both dazzle and delight.
