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.

Cask Third Thursday in West Seattle : 02.18.10

Plan to swing by our West Seattle pub at 3:00 PM TOMORROW for the tapping of this month's CASK beer : Burien Birthday Beer #3, an Imperial-strength IPA utilizing Bravo, Cascade, Amarillo, Simcoe, and Columbus hop varieties.

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!

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.

Picking Evergreen Tips

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.
