-New Beers-
Aslan Brewing Co.
Hook’s Stash
This beer was brewed in collaboration with Mt. Baker Ski Area to celebrate the life of former Pro Patrol and Mt. Baker Legend, Randy Hook. An easy drinking, light bodied classic pale ale, this beer was brewed with American 2-Row barley, hard red wheat, and hopped exclusively with Nelson Sauvin. The dryness of this beer accentuates the dank white grape notes that dominate the flavor and aroma. This beer is best enjoyed at a ski lodge after a long day on the mountain. Cheers to Randy!

Boundary Bay Brewery
Bretta Whiskey Fever
This barrel-aged funky brew started out as part of the regular 2015 batch of Cabin Fever. For eight months it sat in Whiskey barrels, aging gracefully until we decided throw it a little curve ball testing how it would react. That’s where Brettanomyces, a strain of yeast culture, joined the party and things started getting real funky- in a good way!
Chance the Raptor
This rich and malty dopplebock comes from the freestylin brewers of Loowit and Boundary Bay. When North meets South to throw down a brew, it is nothing but straight fire. With notes of dark fruit and caramel with a warming heat, Chance the Raptor delivers a flow that can only be followed by a mic drop.

GRUFF Brewing Co.
Bird Lips Maple Oatmeal Stout
Bird Lips is an Oatmeal Stout made with locally produced big leaf maple syrup. GRUFF used 100% @skagitvalleymalting to keep everything about this tasty beer as local as possible. Neil’s Big Leaf Maple Syrup is produced in Acme in conjunction with our pals @valleyfarmstead. We will also have a very limited quantity of the syrup for sale in our taproom. Seeing how Neil is the first guy to produce Big Leaf Maple Syrup commercially in the U.S. you are definitely going to want to try a glass and a bottle.. Or two glasses and a bottle… Or have a glass of Bird Lips as a breakfast beer while drenching your pancakes and waffles with Neil’s Big Leaf Maple Syrup!
6.1% ABV
Kulshan Brewing Co.
Bonanza Blood Orange + Cranberry Brut IPA
Dry, effervescent, and fruity, Bonanza is the fourth beer in Kulshan’s Cascade Peaks IPA series. With no residual sugars remaining, this beer is crisp and clean allowing the hops, cranberry, and blood orange to shine. Tart cranberry notes are accompanied by accents of melon, strawberry and blood orange, a beer reminiscent of a mimosa. Unique and refreshing, Bonanza is appropriate for any occasion, especially a holiday brunch.
