-New Beers-
Atwood Ales
Bowlegged Blueberry Sour
This beer is… purple. Brewed with Lactobacillus, Brettanomyces, organic blueberry juice from Bow Hill Blueberries, and aged in oak barrels for four months. The resulting purple beer has mild berry, funk and oak flavors and an approachable level of sourness. Brewed in Whatcom County with 100% estate hops, 100% Skagit Valley malt and 100% Skagit Valley blueberries.
4.2% ABV
Brownton Morning Brown Ale with Coffee
Is it the beer, or is it the coffee? That is the question. A big, balanced, brown ale with roast, toast and caramel flavors from the… malts? Or are they from the coffee? What about the light, fruity notes from the… yeast? Or the coffee? Whatever the case may be, it tastes like a good morning. This beer features cold brewed “Bellingham Bay Blend” from Bellingham Coffee Roasters.
7.1% ABV
1918 Dubbel Centennial
Atwood’s farmhouse turns 100 this year! This also happens to be their 100th brew. To celebrate the “hundreds” of accomplishments of both our farmhouse and their brewhouse, Atwood brewed this “dubbel centennial” abbey-style ale, using Belgian and Skagit Valley malts, our estate-grown Centennial hops and a fresh pitch of Trappist ale yeast. 1918 is a malt-forward beer with dark fruit and caramel notes, light fruity esters and phenols, and a light, dry finish. Cheers to another 100 years and another 100 beers!
7.1% ABV
Chuckanut Brewery
Mai Bock
Chuckanut Brewery’s Maibock recipe was inspired by the blonde German style of spring Bock. Traditionally, every cold season would bring a new variety of Bock, with each beer carrying a different color and strength to vary in rhythm with the season. By May (Mai in German), it was still too cold for outdoor activities in Germany, but since the days were becoming longer and lighter, the beer followed suit. Chuckanut’s Maibock is a golden color but still full in body with lots of malt. The Maibock pairs nicely with roasted pork, potatoes, and even desserts such as crème brulee!
7% ABV
Kulshan Brewing Co.
Greenwood Summer Ale
With notes of citrus and tropical fruit, community favorite Greenwood Summer Ale is back on tap for the season at Kulshan. This pairs perfectly with their outdoor beer garden.
Stones Throw Brewery
SMASH 006
Brewed specially for their last block party, Stones Throw made this delicious brew with Mt. Hood hops and Violetta Pilsner malt. With a light, sessionable body, you may taste herbal notes and slight spice from the hops and notes of honey in the hazy straw body.
5.2% ABV and 26 IBU
Structures Brewing
Insomnia Coffee, Vanilla, Oat Porter
Brewed with their friends at Onyx Coffee and Caramel Triticale malt from Skagit Valley Malting, this rich and full bodied porter can now be found on draft at Structures. Get it before it’s gone!
