CASK Beer in Burien Today

On the second Wednesday of each month we release a keg of CASK-CONDITIONED beer at our pub in BURIEN that was brewed in West Seattle.

This month's selection is WEST SIDE BROWN ALE brewed with our house Belgian-style yeast and just a pinch of malt smoked over cherry wood. The combination of flavors work wonders together to produce a fine blend of malty sweetness and the faintest hint of hops.

New Logo for Our 13th Anniversary

Here's a look at a new logo being developed for our 13th Anniversary.

The beer, which we're brewing today together w/ guest brewer Jason Parker, will be called "Saison de la Chance" since it's a 'Saison' style and, as the logo makes clear, we're playing on the various symbols associated with LUCK (= 'chance' in French).

Look for the logo on t-shirts, tattoos, and maybe a few other items that will be available for sale beginning the week of July 5th.

We'll also be posting a few photographs from today's brew showing the boys hard at work in the West Seattle brew house.

Anniversary #13

This Friday, June 4th we're brewing "Saison de la Chance" to commemorate thirteenth years of brewing in West Seattle.

Each year we collaborate with a different brewer to come up with a unique recipe for our anniversary, celebrated during the week of the West Seattle Street Fair (a.k.a. Summerfest), July 5-11th.

This year's guest brewer is West Seattle-ite, Jason Parker. While he's been "retired" from the local brewing scene for a number of years, Jason was the original brewer at Pike Place Brewing on Western Ave., helped start Fish Brewing in Olympia, worked at Redhook when it was in Fremont and Pyramid when they still made beer on Royal Brougham. Suffice it to say, he earned his chops "back in the day" when craft brewing was in its infancy in Seattle. He's got lots of good stories to tell too!

We're very proud to have this local brewing legend agree to work with us to develop a beer for such a momentous and auspicious occasion. The recipe incorporates some unique ingredients, our Belgian yeast strain, and possibly some different hop varieties that we've not brewed with before. The resulting beer is designed to be a genuine thirst quencher for those sunny summer days that MUST be just around the corner!

Stay tuned for photos from Friday's brew day and a sneak peek at the logo being turned in to t-shirts, tattoos, and maybe event cycling jerseys!

Barrel-aged Beer for June

It's that time of the month again when we release another round of barrel-aged beers.

This month we've selected two beers aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels: West Seattle will pour Brewer Dan's Imperial Stout and Burien will serve our Duwamish Dark Lager.

The Stout is HUGE in both flavor and aroma, boasting a strong vanilla and cocoa smoothness from the charred oak.

The Lager spent 14 months on the barrel and comes across much more subtle compared to the Stout, but with a slight sour cherry "twang."

Barrel-aged Beer for MAY

It's that time of the month again when we release another of our barrel-aged beers.

This month we've selected our Sour Trippel. This beer was brewed by Anacortes Brewing using a our Belgian yeast strain. When the beer was done fermenting, they brought some kegs back to us and we aged them in the Brettanomyces barrels housed in our Burien brewery. A couple of months later, the beer had matured to a point where we liked the taste, and now it's ready to serve.

The beer is definitely sour, but with a faint layer of sweetness left over from the sugar remaining in the base beer. Be prepared for a wee bit of pucker, but that's the yeast talking, so listen up! Enjoy.

One small keg will be tapped at each of our pubs, so hurry in for your taste of this unique concoction.
