Yep, we’re getting a bit of a head start this year on brewing our popular seasonal recipe, Organic Mashing Pumpkin Ale.
We have specific plans for some 50 gallons of the spiced strong ale, namely sending it into a freshly-emptied Heaven Hill bourbon barrel.
Additionally, we’re going to experiment with blending some with a couple of our aged dark, strong, and maybe even sour barrel-aged beers.
The ultimate showcase for these projects will be the Great Pumpkin Beer Festival at Elyisan Brewing on October 16-17. Stay tuned for further details as they emerge.
Given that we’re making twice as much this year as last, we should be able to spare some for sale at a few of our favorite “better beer” bars in the Seattle area.

This one is pretty self explanatory: It’s RED.
A judicious amount of Honey Malt gives this beer its distinctive honey/cherry sweetness. The malt also contributes to the slightly sour/acidic taste of this beer.
There are some hops in there, but the hop flavor and aroma is practically non-existent. This also helps accentuate the sweet character of this beer.

ABV: 6.3%

Description:
Hops do not dominate this style. Instead a smooth creaminess lingers as a result of the use of flaked oats in the mash.
Part of the bitter character of this beer comes from the roasted barley. Rich, robust, and silky smooth, our stout sports a malty aroma and mild bitterness.
Stouts are black ales that owe their character to roasted barley. They originated from England, Ireland, Russia, and Scandinavia and are found in “dry”(Guinness), “sweet,” ‘imperial,” and “oatmeal” varieties.
Our stout is most like and oatmeal stout. Most stouts, aside from the “imperial” type, are not the thick, syrupy, high-alcohol beers that many people believe them to be
Malt Varieties: Organic Pilsner, Organic Wheat

OG: 11°P
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: 23
Description:
This pale yellow, slightly cloudy American Hefeweizen is brewed with 40% wheat malt, which imparts a distinct citrus flavor and aroma.
Our version is more accurately a “wheaten ale,” a beer in which wheat is used to lend a distinct flavor, but at a much lower percentage of the total grain (40%).
Also, we use our house yeast. German Weizen beers, on the other hand, are brewed with a special strain of yeast which gives the beer a unique spicy and fruity flavor, like cloves and bananas.

A beer for the hop-head and the Belgian lover alike.

Description:
Our deep golden, classically hoppy (but not especially bitter) India Pale Ale is brewed in Burien.
Originally, IPA’s were brewed in England for consumption by the troops occupying India in the 1700’s and 1800’s.
Beers traveling such great distances were brewed to high gravities so they could slowly ferment on the journey.
They were also quite highly hopped, since hops, a natural preservative, helped protect against infection in the beer.
