Tacoma

1) Ballz Deep Double IPA

A mash tun packed with Pale Ale Malt, medium crystal malt, and cara-pils malt provide a firm, slightly sweet malt flavor while copious amounts of resiny Yakima Valley hops go berserk on bitterness, flavor and aroma. Truly a Big, Bold, and Balanced double IPA. 8.4% ABV / 84 IBU

 

2) Water Chopper GOSE

Brewed with 35% malted white wheat and German Pilsner malt, Water Chopper Gose is dry, moderately sour, and extremely refreshing. Fermented with Lactobacillus (contributing a tartness) in conjunction with our house ale strain, we’ve also added sea salt, and a pinch of coriander. 4.8% ABV / 7 IBU

3) CDA

Conceived here in the NW, we’re proud to offer this intensely hoppy, black, yet velvety smooth unique ale. Brewed with de-husked black malt, caramel malt, and generously hopped with Columbus, Centennial and Amarillo. Our CDA achieves layers of hop character nicely balanced by a hint of roast and a smooth lingering finish. 7% ABV / 65 IBU

4) Kristal Dunkelweizen

A classic Bavarian style Dark-Wheat beer brewed with imported German malts and fermented with traditional Hefeweizen yeast. Deep amber, chestnut brown in color with a frothy white head, this creamy, lightly hopped ale showcases yeast driven aromas of vanilla, banana, and nutmeg like spices.  Medium bodied with flavors of toasted bread crust, slight chocolate, and malty sweetness. 5% ABV / 15 IBU

5) Winter Ale

7 Seas Winter Ale, brewed with seven different malt varieties, including crystal Rye malt and rich UK caramel malt, for a bold and dynamic maltprofile.  Hopped with NW grown Chinook and Santiam hops for some mild bitterness and moderate floral/fresh cut grass hop notes. Bold and full flavored with a slight alcohol warmth, but very drinkable. 7.7% ABV / 55 IBU

6) Chili Pepper Export Stout

Export Stout (Foreign Export Style), combines six different malt varieties to create intriguing flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and roasted barley. Nugget and Mt. Hood hops offer a soft floral nose and just enough bitterness to balance the creamy, smooth finish.

This particular batch was aged on a blend of 4 different locally grown peppers including Ghost, Golden Ghost, Trinidad Scorpion, and Caribbean Red. 6.8% ABV / 40 IBU
