CASK RELEASE : 11.30.09 : Organic Riot X
Today in Burien we brewed a special batch of our perennial favorite ORGANIC RIOT ALE in time to release it on 11.30.09 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the WTO riots in Seattle.
We adjusted the hops a bit this time around, making 10 additions throughout the brewing process, including one infusion of hop pellets in the fermenter for an aromatic boost.
Varieties include: Magnum, Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe, and Amarillo and ABV should wind up about 7.25%.
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!
Sound enticing? Release date = Nov. 24 in W. Seattle
Who said nothing ever happens around here but rain in the winter?
Join us Thursday, November 19 (tomorrow!) at our West Seattle pub for our monthly tapping of a cask-conditioned beer produced at our sister pub in Burien.
This month we’ll pour a keg of dry-hopped HOP SCOTCH.
The naturally carbonated keg will be pouring from the bar top starting at 3:00 PM.
Tickets are going fast for the 2009 Winter Beer Festival. Get yours NOW.
The event takes place in Fremont @ Hale’s Palladium on Friday, Dec. 4 (5:00-10:00) and Sat. Dec. 5. (1:00-10:00). If you’re a WABL member, doors open an hour early each day, but remember your passport!
We’ll be bringing a special dry-hopped version of our Noäle Holiday Ale and Demolition, a Strong Pale Ale.
It’s that time of year again when we throw open the doors of both our pubs to some of the wonderful and hearty beers of the season.
Normally we serve only guest beers from our fellow Washington brewers, but during November and December we’ll be casting our net a bit wider to include some of our favorite holiday creations from Oregon, California, Colorado, and beyond.
These taps will change frequently throughout these last two months of the year, so check in often to see what’s currently on tap.
Our own Noäle Holiday Ale will be released the week of Thanksgiving and will (hopefully) last until the end of the year.
HOP SCOTCH, our strong dark amber ale, has been brewed in Burien.
The batch is now aging for a while in a conditioning tank, preparing for its release. This year’s batch was dry-hopped with Cascade, Amarillo, and Chinook to help boost the hop aroma of a beer that is already rich in hop flavor.
Get the first taste of HOP SCOTCH this Thursday in West Seattle, when we tap a cask-conditioned keg on the bar top @ 3:00 PM.
