Cask Third Thursday in West Seattle


This month's cask beer from Burien will be pouring in our West Seattle pub beginning at 3:00 on Thursday, July 16.

Patrons will be the first to taste, HELLMOUTH IMPERIAL IPA, the latest in our series of Imperial-style ales. It is essentially a dry-hopped version of our Imperial von Boorian, but brewed with our standard house yeast instead of the Belgian strain we use for the von Boorian series.

The name refers to "a focal point which serves as a portal between earth and Hell. The Hellmouth attracts demons and other supernatural creatures, becoming a "hot spot" for supernatural activity." We thought that was a pretty good description of what happens when we ferment a 7% ABV beer in Burien!

Dry-hopped with Amarillo and Cascade.
