Aslan Brewing Co.

Winter Warmer Red IPA

Malted with caramel and chocolate malt varieties, this deep amber version of Aslan’s annual winter warmer was made with their house ale strain, Mosaic, Cascade and Sterling hops. 6% ABV

Pecan Porter

This new London-style porter was brewed with blackstrap molasses, dried bitter orange peel and most importantly, roasted pecans. Gives notes of figs, chocolate and nuts. 5.7% ABV and 33 IBU.

Cucumber Lager (Helles)

4.8% ABV // light body + fresh cucumber + soft
A Helles style lager made with fresh organic cucumbers. The Pilsner malt used was grown and malted in Skagit Valley, making this German lager uniquely local.
