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.

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."

We'll have a limited amount of each beer on hand, so consider getting to the pub early for your best chance of getting in on this unique tasting opportunity.

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.

Topping Off Barrels w/ Batch #1000

Another memorable day in Burien!

Today we filled two wine barrels with what remained of West Seattle Batch #1000. Both oak barrels pictured at left formerly housed Washington red wines, but now they're being re-purposed as aging vessels for our once-in-a-brewer's-lifetime batch 1K.

Eventually beer from four different oak wine barrels will be blended together, but we can't say exactly when. You'll just have to keep reading this blog to find out when you can get a taste!

The Barrel Runneth Over

Here's a shot of Batch #1000 on day two of fermentation. We pulled out 60 gallons and fermented it in this second-run wine barrel from Woodinville. As you can see, the yeast was quite happy!

Next week we'll bring over the remainder of the batch, which is still fermenting in West Seattle, and split it between three other red wine barrels we've been saving for this project. One barrel will be just the beer and the wood; one will get an infusion of fruit; and the third will undergo a secondary fermentation with a strain of Brettanomyces, in hopes it will pick up some additional sourness. Big fun in B-town!

Batch #1000 Brewed in West Seattle!

We reached a milestone at our West Seattle pub, where we brewed our 1000th batch on 02.19.10. The recipe, based on our Red von Boorian, will undergo a number of different "treatments" while in our care, including fermentation with three different yeast strains and aging on fruit in red wine barrels.

Pictured here are a few stages along the way during the brew day.

/Filling a barrel in Burien with West Seattle wort/

We'll actually ferment in this sixty-gallon barrel, eventually blending-to-taste with beer from three other oak barrels. We're not certain when any of this will be ready for release, but rest assured readers of this blog and folks tuned in to our Twitter and Facebook feeds will be the first to know!

Burien Brewhouse Birthday Bash : Sat. March 6

In less than a month Elliott Bay Brewhouse & Pub will celebrate its THIRD birthday!

Be sure to drop by on Saturday, March 6 and raise us glass with us to commemorate this special occasion. We brewed a special beer too, a double dry-hopped IPA style that is sure to satisfy the many hop heads among us.

Dub Lounge will be in the house performing their unique blend of reggae-inspired music. Have a listen.

See ya there!

Cask 2nd Wednesday in Burien : 02.10.10

Join us at tomorrow at 3:00 PM in Burien for the tapping of this month's special cask-conditioned release.

The keg of Hoppus Callosum, brewed in West Seattle, was dry-hopped w/ Chinook and Simcoe pellets.

Hoppus Callosum : NOW ON TAP

Yep...here it comes again...our HOPPY and STRONG Double IPA

Brewed in West Seattle with Columbus, Chinook, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops, Hoppus is no wallflower. Rather, its in-your-face goodness reaches up to grab you then slaps you about the face with a big helping of 7.6% alcohol-by-volume. This is your brain on hops!

NOW pouring at both pubs. Cask-conditioned version on tap in Burien @ 3:00 PM Wed. 2/10/10.

BREWED THIS WEEK : Pinetop Red Ale

Brewer Dan at the West Seattle pub brewed Pinetop Red Ale YESTERDAY.

It aims to infuse the fairly malt-forward beer with a robust blend of both piney and citrus hoppiness using the Chinook and Ahtanum hop varieties.

Look for it on tap in just a few weeks in both our locations. We'll have a cask-conditioned version on tap in Burien on Wed. 2/10.
