Here's a "live action" shot of Dan Ashley, brewer at our West Seattle pub, picking evergreen tips in Lincloln Park this past Monday morning. He took them back to the brewery and added them to kegs of Pinetop Red Ale that will be cask-conditioned.
We collected needles from a downed Western Hemlock limb and fresh green tips from a live Western Red Cedar, chopped them, crushed them, and steeped them each in a keg so we can determine which flavors and aromas we appreciate the most. The Hemlock definitely screamed "Tannenbaum" and the Cedar was much more lemony.Keep an eye on these pages for word of when these beers will be released.
Brewer Dan at the West Seattle pub is brewing a new recipe TODAY that we're calling Pinetop Red Ale.
It aims to infuse the fairly malt-forward beer with a robust blend of both piney and citrus hoppiness using the Chinook, Ahtanum, and Northern Brewer varieties.
Look for it on tap in just a few weeks in both our locations. We'll also be pouring a dry-hopped and cask-conditioned version at the Friday night session of the WA Brewers Festival at St. Edward State Park in Kenmore on June 19.
We'll be selling tickets too or you can buy them on line.
DEMOLITION, our medal-winning Strong Pale Ale, is back on tap in the Burien Brewhouse.
Hopped with a blend of SIX different varieties, including Northern Brewer, Magnum, Simcoe, Chinook, Cascade, and Amarillo, this amber-ish ale is roughly 7.25% ABV and over 120 IBUs.
Swing by Burien for your after-work beer and enjoy the in-your-face hoppiness atop a mellow malt background. It'll do ya good, 'cause it's ORGANIC!
JUST RELEASED : The list of beers that will be available at the North American Organic Beer Festival taking place in Portland, OR on the weekend of June 26-28.
