Frances Farmer 2019
2019 strikes a balance between the champagne like qualities of ‘17 with the dry mineral palate & more pronounced acid profile of the ‘18 vintage. As in the past, this is a solera project & pieces of all previous years naturally exist in each subsequent release.

Peach Dojo
This saison style ale comes from the same base that Blueberry and Raspberry Dojo originated from. The processes used for making the beers in the Dojo series are identical, stemming from the same initial brew. What differs is the fruit in which each is named after— in all cases the complexity of the fermentation is driven by the native microflora that naturally existed on the fruit. Peach Dojo is the most intensely sour of the three in large part due to the age of this beer which spent nearly 2 years in oak & about 8 months bottle conditioning. The fruit came from an organic orchard in Yakima, where the peaches were tree ripened. If fruit is removed from the tree too soon, the natural yeasts and bacteria present on the skins are not as strong. This is due to the fruit not being a great source of food, since the sugars are not fully developed. In this case, the fruit provided a wonderful layer of microflora which created all of the complexity in this beer.
7% ABV
Cosmic Dreams
This year the malt cosisted of only Vienna, Oats and Carahell. Singularly hopped sparingly on the hot side, and dry hopped at a rate of 4 lbs per barrel.
10° Pils
Another full Reinheitsgebot (1927) Czech style pale lager! Once again, literally only malt, hops, water & yeast went into this beer which means no water or pH adjustment additives were used. Brewed in the fully authentic Czech way— triple decoction mashed, with a three hour acid rest, hopped exclusively with ŽPČ (saaz), fermented at 8C, lagered for 6 weeks and naturally carbonated. If you enjoyed the authentic Czech flavor in Svetly, you’ll love its little brother. Warning, low levels of diacetyl— again, intentional and very much the Czech way.
4.2% ABV
Disco Lemonade
ts baaaack (almost)! And this year it’s slightly more sour, if that’s even possible? A few changes from last year include more wheat, a different strain of lactobacillus & a main fermentation with kolsch yeast. As this beer never goes through a full boil, it is very white in color. Aside from those little changes, it’s the same ol’ Disco Lemonade that has been signaling the start of summer for the last 5 years in Bellingham!
4% ABV
Rice Crispy
This IPA started with 20% rice which was cereal mashed– Pilsener malt was added and the whole lot was then decoction mashed. This beer features a cold fermentation with kolsch yeast from our favorite brewery in Cologne, cold dry hop which consisted of a stupid volume of Nelson Sauvin & Moteuka hops, natural carbonation & is far too thick to filter.
6% ABV
