Dick's Brewing
Centralia
1) Dick's Mountain Amber
Classic amber ale; Dick’s style. Large quantities of two special varieties of lightly roasted malts contribute a deep
malt profile to this very drinkable and attractive ale. The bittering hop addition is designed to achieve a perfect
balance: not bitter, not sweet - just right. Larger additions of Northwest flavor and aroma hops give our amber its
delicious finish, which lingers on the palate. OG: 1.050 TG: 1.010 ABV: 5%
2) Dick's IPA
This beer starts out as a nice pale ale until it reaches the kettle. Throughout the 90 minute boil four massive hop
additions transform this beer into a hop-head’s dream come true. Aromatic Columbus hops from the Yakima Valley
are added in large quantities for substantial bitterness, flavor and aroma. Fermentation is conducted with our house
ale yeast, contributing to a clean finish and allowing the hops to show all the way through. The result is one of the
hoppiest I.P.A.s on the market! ABV: 5.5%

Fish Brewing
Seattle
1) Swordfish Black IPA
Swordfish Cascadian Dark Ale (CDA) is dark in color, with a prominent “Northwest” hoppy aroma – citrusy, piney
and resinous – with sweet malt, hints of roastiness and toasted malt. The flavors strike a beautiful balance between
citrusy Northwest hops and, to a lesser degree, roasted, chocolate malt or caramel notes. Despite it’s rich color, the
body is more reminiscent of an India Pale Ale, not heavy like a porter or stout. IBU: 64 ABV: 7.5%
2) Leavenworth Premium Lager
A real, premium lager, this brew shows the distinct influence of malt and hops but with a slightly softer side.
Combining traditional Bavarian pilsner flavors with the bolder Northwest craft beer profile, the result is unusually
tasty. IBU: 23 ABV: 5%
3) Fish Tale Vicious Circle Amber Ale
Well balanced and full flavored, Vicious Circle Amber Ale has a rich, malty body with a pleasant caramel character
derived from a special blend of six malts. A complex hop aroma, with a hint of floral and citrus, comes from a
combination of Northwest hops. It has a deep copper hue and a rich, creamy head with a fine lace that almost seem
to suggest the hints of nutty sweetness and toffee that are about to follow. IBU: 35 ABV: 5%
4) Spire Mountain Dark & Dry
Savor this refreshing glass of complexity. Dark & Dry's assertive tartness is pleasingly balanced by a hint of
molasses and brown sugar. More rounded and intricate than its sister ciders, this potion will appeal to beer
aficionados, wine devotees, and cider enthusiasts alike. ABV: 5%

middle with a snappy hop finish. It's truly a micro that finishes crisp, clean, and smooth. ABV: 5.2%

backbone Aftermath is nonetheless balanced and approachable in flavor.

real treat. Supergoose has a great floral hop character followed by a rich malt body.

pilsner with just a bit more fruitiness from the special yeast. Clear. Crisp. Light. A sessionable and delicious beer.

Our Troll Porter infused with Coffee from Seattle’s Herkimer Coffee poured on Nitrogen.
Harmon Brewing

Hood Canal Brewery
Kingston
1) Bywater Bay ESB
This ESB has an inviting dark straw color. The toasted grain flavor goes very well with light hop finish. The ESB
has a drier mouth feel than the pale ale, but not as bitter as an IPA. A pleasant session ale. IBU: 43 ABV: 4.5%
2) Termination Point
Termination Point Imperial IPA is a showcase for hops. Four Northwest hop varieties are added at five stages in the
production of this full-bodied brew with the intention of exhibiting the subtleties of that noble flower. A strong
profile of deeply caramelized malt – and a generous ABV - provides a strong foundation so that the hops can take
center stage. The fruity and floral esters evolve in the glass and linger on the palette, but at just over 90 IBUs, this
beer remains enjoyable to a wide audience.
3) Big Beef Oatmeal Stout
Big Beef Oatmeal Stout has a wonderful flavor of roasted barley grains that have been blended with rolled oats to
give this stout a unique mouth feel that has a dry finish. Just enough Northern Brewer hops have been added to give
this creamy-headed ale a fine balance. ABV: 5%
Iron Horse Brewery
Ellensburg
1) Iron Horse IPA
A highly approachable IPA with lots of hop flavor and aroma, mild bitterness, and a dry finish. Dosed late in the
boil, as well as dry-hopped, this India Pale Ale focuses not on the bitterness in the finish, but instead on the flavor
and aroma of the hops.

TBA

Bellingham
1) Bastard Kat IPA

ABV: 6.6%

Thor’s Sunstone – Belgian-Style Tripel is a dryer interpretation of this old world classic. The yeast notes are much
more apparent in the nose than the renowned equinox and a touch of Spelt grain balances this brew with a light
earthy note. IBU: 23 ABV: 7.9%
Rainy Daze Brewing
Port Orchard
1) Mind Funk Coffee Pale Stout

like a stout. This was made possible with the use of Sierra Nevada Columbian that we got from the Port Townsend
Coffee Roasting Co. ABV: 7.7%

A spin on a NW style IPA, we use Columbus, Citra and Zythos hops, and then use a Belgian strong yeast. This gives

King St. Brown Ale with cold-brewed Stumptown Coffee. ABV: 5.5%
