350 Ale

This microbrew is golden and medium bodied with a slightly sweet aroma. The 350 in its name refers to the use of extra malt, 350 pounds in total, adding a bit of extra sweetness and body. It pleases the palate, offering a tart and bready flavor with a balancing mild bitterness. 6.5% abv  (details on our blog)

Barley Wine

Our 2010 batch was brewed in 2008 and aged in a Seguin Moreau oak barrel. It offers vinous-like aromas and dried fruit flavors of raisin and plum. It’s sweet as it hits the palate and a pleasant wood character also permeates through the tasting experience. 11% abv (details on our blog)

Benefit Bock

This German lager features rich, warm tones of reddish brown. It offers a medium to full body, making it perfect to take the chill off of late winter weather. As you sip, you’ll enjoy layers of malty sweet aroma and flavor reminiscent of warm bread pudding. 6.0% abv (details on our blog)

Butternut Brown (brewed by 2010 intern Acacia Baldner)

Based on the American Brown Ale style, this features a deep brown hue and a rich, medium body. This malty, flavorful microbrew exhibits notes of caramel, roasted nuts, and a crisp, dry walnut-shell finish with aromas of mild hop and biscuit. 6.1% abv (details on our blog)

Farmer Brown

Our 2011 blend sports a light coffee color and a light to medium body. You'll enjoy a warm, roast-like aroma with a pronounced toast flavor (like the essence of bread fresh out of a wood-fired oven...mmmmm). 5.2% abv (details on our blog)

Our 2010 rendition of this ale is copper to light brown in color. It offers a fruity and fresh-bread-yeast aroma, toasty and graham cracker flavors, and low hop bitterness. 5.0% abv (details on our blog)

Hefeweizen

Translated literally as “yeast wheat,” Hefeweizen is a traditional Bavarian wheat beer that’s customarily top fermented. It’s unfiltered, resulting in a hazy gold color matching summer’s late afternoon rays, and highly carbonated for a refreshing mouthfeel. This craft beer offers aromas and flavors of clove and banana. Our 2010 batch garnered a gold award in the Lallemand Brain of Brewers contest in 2010. 6.0% abv (details on our blog)

Hop Night

Our version of a Cascadian dark ale is as dark as night with a light tan head of foam and a big, full mouthfeel. Before your imbibe, take in its spicy aroma to prime your palate. Your palate will be delighted by its roasted malt flavor with subtle nuances of mint. A lingering finish of hop bitterness tops off the experience. 7.2% abv (details on our blog)

Indie Pilsner

This pilsner features a bright yellow color and a light to medium body. You’ll savor a spicy-herbal hop aroma from the use of Czech Saaz hops, and a bready, biscuit-like malt profile. A finishing medium bitterness rounds out the tasting experience. Made with 100% organic ingredients. 4.9% abv (details on our blog)

Jefferson Common

Our version of a "steam beer" honors an American original that was born in the West. It's deep gold in color and light to medium body. It offers a spicy aroma, bready maltiness and a soft lingering bitterness. 4.2% abv (details on our blog)

Madrone Red

This session-style ale presents a deep red color and a light to medium body. It's big on flavor, imparting an up front malt sweetness, light caramel-flavor and medium bitterness intensity in the 25 IBU range. Madrone Red offers a snappy, clean finish for the perfect ending. 4% abv (details on our blog)

Midsummer Dream

This ale offers a bright yellow color matching summer’s rays. It’s a session-style beer with a very light body but it's lightweight when it comes to flavor. You’ll savor a distinct cracker-like malt character with spicy and floral nuances from the blend of Cascade and Centennial hops. Due to fermentation at a lower temperature (62F) than our other ales, this beer has a crisp, dry finish much like a pilsner. 4.9% abv (details on our blog)

Milk and Honey

This beer sports a polished copper color and silky smooth medium body. Nuances of honey will please your palate, though it's not overly sweet. There's no honey added—the honey flavor comes from a proprietary honey malt. We add lactose, an unfermentable sugar that comes from milk, to provide body and slight residual sweetness. 5.5% abv (details on our blog)

Oktoberfest

Our 2011 Oktoberfest lager has a deep golden color, orange hues and a smooth medium body. It offers a hard candy aroma and a rich, intense malty flavor with a biscuit note, finishing with a slight alcohol warming. 6.8% abv (details on our blog)

Our 2010 batch of this seasonal lager is deep gold with a smooth medium body. It imparts hints of orange and a sweet malty flavor with balanced bitterness. 6.3% abv (details on our blog)
