A big juicy, tropical fruit, citrusy hop aroma yields way to an off dry, pleasantly bitter finish.

This NW Pilsner pays homage to those local brewers who came long before us, a shout-out to our home, the 253. Our NW spin on a classic pilsner-style lager.

Lantern Brewing-Seattle

1) Gyrophare (“jee-ro-far”) (ABV 6.2%)

Last summer we placed whole, fresh Washington Montmorency tart cherries in oak wine barrels and extracted all the sweet and sour goodness through a second fermentation on our rustic wheat and barley ale base.  It is aromatic, colored rosé red, and spins through 360° of flavor from the cherries (fruit, skin, and pit), finishing with a balanced and lightly sour touch. (Gyrophare is French slang for the old-school rotating red siren formerly used on the roof of police cars…)

2) Pearplexity (ABV 7.3%)

A unique stout-cider hybrid, created by barreling our darkest ale with cider freshly pressed from Honeycrisp apples and d’Anjou pears.  We allowed this to work in oak wine barrels for 8 months, building a complex set of flavors and aromas: starting with sweet apple and pear skin aromatics, the flavor then builds caramel and toffee notes with a hint of roasted malt but instead of finishing either sweet or roasty the cider acidity and barrel notes pull it back to a light and dry finish that begs for another taste.

3) Joliefolie™ (ABV 7.5%/ IBU 44)

2) Turtle Teeth Hazy Session IPA (ABV 5.6%/ IBU 5.6%)

Our newest hazy session IPA is loaded with Motueka, Azacca, and Citra for a tropical explosion of citrus and guava. With a malt bill of Marris Otter alongside flaked oats and wheat, this smooth, hazy beer is the perfect beer to beat the summer heat. A small addition of Lemondrop gives a little citrus lift to every sip.

2) One London Standard Ale (ABV 5.7%)

Any time of day, any time of year, any food & any occasion: if I could drink only one beer for the rest of my life, this is the one. An everyday drink with toffee and bready flavors.

Postdoc Brewing–Redmond

1) Lemon Lime Lager (ABV 5.5%/ IBU 35)

Lemon Lime Lager is a bright twist on a summer staple. With just a spritz of lemongrass, lemon zest and lime zest, it’s just enough to liven up a classic bbq companion.

2) Blueberry Blonde Quencher (BBQ) (ABV 3.9%/ IBU 13)

Blueberry Blonde Quencher is just what you expect with a name like that: A sessionable blonde ale with the fresh taste of blueberry juice to add just a bit of fruit and a tinge of tart. It’s far from sour but it’s a perfect compliment to summer’s tastiest food.
