-New Beers-

GRUFF Brewing Co.

Kolsch

Brand new KOLSCH on tap. This 4.9% beer is made with 100% grain from Skagit Valley Malting, so are the rest of their beers but this one looks extra delicious.

Kulshan Brewing Co.

Brett Saison

This beer has been aging for over six months in stainless to achieve the maturity and complexity it now possesses. Aromas of ripe peach and apricot are predominate, backed by mellow Brett funkiness and a hint of banana. On the palate, it is dry and clean up front, followed by a smooth bready malt character and slight orchard fruit sweetness that lingers pleasantly. A beer of true class and distinction, this Brett Saison is quite simply delicious.

Wander Brewing

Running on Empty West Coast Pale

Approchable, clean, refreshing, and made with Cascade hops, just for the Bellingham Bay Marathon.

300 Cents Fresh Hop IPA

300 pounds of freshly picked (we’re talking like 5 hours fresh) gorgeous cones of centennial from CLS Farms made it into the first of Wander’s two fresh hop beers. To celebrate, all pints of 300 Cents are 300 cents for the first 300 minutes today!

The Endless Summer IPA

Dry and bitter with a citrus and floral aroma, this IPA made specially for Stones Throw’s block party is loaded with Centennial hops.
