Aslan Brewing
Floyd the Barber Nordic Pale Ale
Brewed with Pilsener, rye, and raw wheat, and hopped in the kettle with Strisselspalt and Hersbrucker. Floyd then spent eight weeks in the foeder, just enough time for the native Brett Brux to work in notes of canned pineapple, which are on full display in this beer. The final touch was a hefty dry hopping of fresh and wet Centennial hops from @growingveterans.⠀
5% ABV
Boundary Bay Brewery
Oktoberfest
The original Oktoberfest lager was created more than 200 years ago in Germany to celebrate a royal wedding. This recipe, brewed by Boundary Bay, is a delicious modern rendition utilizing local malt from Skagit Valley Malting. A generous amount of Munich malt blends the robust, medium-bodied lager with flavors of toasted pretzels, toffee and honey-caramel sweetness.
5.7% ABV
Gruff Brewing Co.
The John Oliver
Introducing The John Oliver (4.7%), an American take on an English Pub Ale. This beer was brewed with English yeast and is our take on the classic style.
Nitro Mocha Milk Stout
Made with lots of Tony’s Coffee organic Esspresso Noir beans and coco nibs for extra chocolate goodness.
6% ABV
Stones Throw Brewery
SMASH 009
This Single Malt And Single Hop (SMASH) beer features Cascade Hops and Violetta Malt. Cascade has a citrus aroma and grapefruit flavor, well-supported by a light bodied malt like Violetta.

Structures Brewing
Soft Spoken DIPA
Soft-Spoken, a double IPA brewed with Galaxy and Citra. Made for a rainy September day.
Wander Brewing
400 Cents Fresh Hop
400 pounds of freshly picked (we’re talking like 5 hours fresh) gorgeous cones of centennial from @cls_farms made it into this very special extra pale ale, the first of our two fresh hop beers this super fresh season.
Raspberry Champagne Toast
“Our Berliner Weisse, Champagne Toast, spent a productive year souring and maturing slowly in an American oak foeder. After aging, 350 pounds of local raspberries were added to a portion of the sour beer for another month of conditioning. The raspberries intensely transformed the base beer in flavor, aroma, and color.”
