Breweries 7 Seas Brewing Company

Anacortes Brewery

Rude Parrot

Oktoberfest

Description: Loud, sassy and relentless, the Rude Parrot has an insatiable appetite for hops! Brewed with Vienna, light crystal and a touch of honey malt, this golden hued IPA is aggressively hopped with Simcoe and Citra hops. A big juicy, tropical fruit, citrusy hop aroma yields way to an off dry, pleasantly bitter finish.

Description: Anacortes Oktoberfest celebrates the traditional Bavarian festival with a malty, full-bodied brew hopped for balance and lagered for six weeks in one of Washington’s most authentic cold storage cellars.

Gig Harbor Style: IPA

Life Jacket

Style: Session IPA

Description: Brewed for the warm, stunning, long days of summer in the Pacific NW, Life Jacket Session IPA will refresh and quench your thirst like no other. Concocted with pale ale and pilsner malts, Life Jacket produces a light golden hue and provides a crisp, clean and dry malt base for the Yakima Valley grown Amarillo and Nugget hops to emerge from. Stay cool with powerful hop notes of citrus, tangerine and muted bitterness.

American Brewing Company Edmonds

American Summer Saison Style: Saison

Description: This Saison is a beautiful straw color that is a bit hazy because it is unfiltered. Nice bready malt flavors balanced by lemony esters and just a hint of clove and pepper spice from a house blend of farmhouse yeast. This is an easy to drink beer and finishes with just a bit of tartness.

It is the perfect beer for working the fields or just sitting on the porch on a hot, sunny day. The brew is inspired by the farm that head brewer, Adam, grew up on and is a beer he would gladly share with his father while bringing in the hay. It is the first in our “Farm to Farmhouse” series and will be the base beer for our new sour program.

Anacortes Style: Lager

Pumpkin Ale

Style: Pumpkin Ale

Description: Aromatic, bisquit, rye, triricale, crystal wheat and Munich malts compliment the 80 lbs of pumpkin puree in this strong fall seasonal brew. Conditioned with fresh wood-fired pumpkin and spices, this beer will keep you warm through the brisk autumn evenings.

Aslan Brewing Company Bellingham

Oktoberfest Style: Fest Bier

Description: Oktoberfest bier, also referred to as Märzen, is a traditional German lager that is brewed in March, then enjoyed in the fall season for the Oktoberfest celebration.

This style is smooth, clean and malt forward. We make it strictly with Vienna & Munich malts to accentuate its smooth malt character and beautiful orange hue.

Batch 15 IPA Style: IPA

Description: This hoppy creation is everything a Northwest IPA should be. It showcases the amazing resinous and piney characteristics of Simcoe, the crisp citrus of Citra, and the bitterness of Summit hops. Pouring a beautiful opaque orange, this beer is juicy, unfiltered and delicious!

Palegater Session Pale Style: Pale Ale

Description: The color of wildflower honey and bursting with tropical fruit and citrus aromas. With a mosaic of hops up front, this beer has a round and open flavor, like biting into a mango, with lingering grapefruit citrus bitterness. Palergater is balanced nicely with lightly toasted and caramel malts.

This beer finishes smooth with enough lingering bitterness for NW hop heads but not too much to drive off folks who just want an easy drinking beer.

Description: Part of our ongoing Meridian Expedition.

A Belgian Witbier in appearance and malt bill, the Lost Meridian Wit has a cloudy and opaque white color and silky mouth-feel from the use of loads of wheat and oats.

Birdsview Brewing Company Concrete

Cardiack Arrest

Description: A bold, flavorful, strong brown ale brewed with crystal malt, molasses, local organic honey, Belgian candied sugar and licorice. Always a fall favorite with a portion of sales going to the Heart Center at Children’s Hospital.

Ditsy Blonde Style: Blonde Ale

Description: This crisp and refreshing blonde ale hits you with an alluring lime aroma. Right away you will taste a faintly sweet lime note, compliments of the lime peel in the brew.

Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro Bellingham

Harvest Rye Style: Rye Ale

Safety Break Style: IPA

Description: The IPA-drinker’s go-to ‘session’ beer! The Safety Break experience starts with straightforward, golden-straw color and a bright, tangerine-orange hop aroma. The taste is imminently bitter up-front and flows immediately into a truly NW hop experience with minor hints of musky pint and cool melon. Safety Break IPA is balanced with the lightest touches of biscuity malt character (from small amounts of crystal malts), culminating in a classic refreshing NW ale that will leave you feeling “safe”, refreshed and hop-satisfied. And, at just under 5% alcohol, feel free to enjoy a Safety Break just about any time.

Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen Bellingham Fest Bier

Style: Oktoberfest Lager

Description: Golden, crisp, rich malt, balanced.

In the early days, the beer consumed during Oktoberfest was the rich, copper-colored lager known as Märzen. But in recent years, the official Oktoberfest lager has morphed into a lighter, golden lager with a moderate malty sweetness and a clean, balancing bitterness. Chuckanut Oktoberfest this new style Oktoberfest emphasizing the use of Vienna malts for a smooth, quaffable fest beer. This medium-bodied golden beer finishes crisp with ABV 5.8% and 22 IBU’s.

In the mid 1800’s in Dusseldorf the tradition of Alt Bier got started. Alt “old” (German) is similar to ales found in Belgium and England, but with a German personality. The Alt Bier is a well-rounded German deep amber ale with crisp bitterness in the finish. Our Alt is fermented warm but matured cold, producing a very smooth beer. Chuckanut Alt won Bronze at the GABF 2011 & NABA Gold 2013. ABV 5% and 33 IBU’s

Farmstrong Brewing Company Mount Vernon

Farmhouse Ale Style: Saison

Stackin’ Hay Style: IPA

Enjoy this refreshing malt-balanced rye ale with spicy Mexican or Caribbean cuisine, lamb or other pungent, spiced meats or spiced desserts like carrot cake!

Proptoberfest

Description: Here is the full-bodied seasonal ale that brings meaning to “Winter Warmer.” With a snappy hop character, this isn’t just another brown beer masquerading as a seasonal. This is hearty fare brewed for the season of celebrations. Enjoyed at ease with friends and food.

Winterfish will put a glow in the cheeks and warmth in the veins. Pale and honey malts provide an abundantly deep foundation. Then, for bittering, flavor and aroma, we use 100% Yakima Chinook hops in the kettle. For additional flavor and aroma, it’s more Yakima Chinooks in the hop-back.

Perfect for a festive feast, this is the hoppiest winter ale we know of! Savor a pint and you’ll know why Northwesterners agree: An ice cold Winter never sounded better!

Description: Our take on the classic Fall Oktoberfest style.

Slightly malty with a clean lager character and smooth finish.

Description: A true session cider. Smooth and lightly carbonated session cider with notes of clean apple and pineapple. Low residual sugar for a dry taste, but a touch of sweet to soften the acidity. Bright and clean and SO easy to drink. This is the one that was 2 years in the making and the one that started it all.

Description: Scotch character, with smokey cinnamon, clove & vanilla with an extra smooth finish.

Auburn

Style: Dry Cider

Dark Cherry

Style: Fruit Infused Cider

Description: The “sweetest” cider in the Locust lineup, blending fresh sweet dark cherries from Washington with our dessert apple blend for a tart, full-flavored, but still not overly sweet cider. Started as a special in the tap room only, but due to huge demand is found around town.

Style: Cider

Mischief Maker

Style: Pomegranate Cider

Description: Made with California pomegranates and Washington cranberries, this cider is beautifully dark & fruit forward. The added tartness creates a crisp, highly refreshing cider.

Spire Mountain Cider Olympia

Sparkling Pear Style: Pear Cider

Description: Festive and light, Spire Mountain Pear Cider is alive with delicate flavor. A blend of Bartlett, Bosc and Anjou pears gives this hard cider a gentle zest. Complemented by a soft sprightly sparkle, the scent of sunny orchard beckons from every glass. Enjoy this genial refreshment at your ease.

Dark & Dry Apple Cider Style: Apple Cider

Description: Savor this refreshing glass of complexity. Dark & Dry’s assertive tartness is pleasingly balanced by a hint of molasses and brown sugar. More rounded and intricate than its sister ciders, this potion will appeal to beer aficionados, wine devotees and cider enthusiasts alike.
