What's On Tap

Imported German 2-row barley and Roy Farms ADHA 1940 hops give this German-style pils it's crisp, clean character.  Warning: this beer's subtle grain sweetness, spicy hop aroma and refreshingly dry, hop-forward finish may elicit a spontaneous Prost!

On March 8th, the women of the #BallardBrewed Coalition collaborated on this West Coast Spring IPA. A portion of all sales of this beer will benefit the Pink Boots Society, which supports the education of women beer professionals.
This year's (You Should) Smile More IPA was brewed with spring in mind. It has a  moderate ABV, but is big on aroma and flavor. We used the Pink Boots Blend from YCH Hops (Cashmere, Ahtanum, Citra, Loral and Sabro) in the whirlpool then dry hopped with Mosaic Cryo and Galaxy.

In the entire history of humankind, there has never been a more profound expression of love than the personalized mixtape. Hours of deliberation about which songs to share from your home tape collection followed by hours of tiny handwritten playlists with tiny hearts incorporated wherever possible. Follow that with "play"-"record", change tape, "play"-"record" change tape............This beer is our mixtape for you. First we brewed the beer with pilsner malt for a light body and gentle malt sweetness. Then we lagered the beer for several weeks to create a clean, refreshing crispness. As our mixtape final song, we dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka for aromas of white grape and grapefruit. Load it up, press play and enjoy.

A highly drinkable, hop forward beer with a classic American Pale Ale malt bill. Heavy handed Mosaic dry hopping gives this beer a nose packed full of citrus and mango. Up front aroma, balanced bittering and a moderate body just beg for another taste...and another...and another...

Our Northwest Red Ale provides a distinctly Northwest hop character balanced with a restrained malt sweetness. We use 2 Row barley along with Best Maltz Red X to create a rich, red color and a smooth, satisfying taste. A hint of chocolate seals the deal.

We like to call this one Sunshine In a Glass ... or Sunshine In Your Belly because it won't stay in that glass long. Our Citra® IPA is designed to be light and bright in both color and body. Your first sniff will elicit images of tropical fruit and citrus thanks to a healthy dose of Citra® hops. Enjoy a pint of this and you might just find yourself gazing skyward, pondering how in the heck sunshine made its way into your glass.

Fresh hop season is still months away here in Washington, but hop growers in the southern hemisphere are right in the thick of it. To celebrate, we teamed up with our #sistercity  friends in Christchurch, Beer Baroness Brewery, for a unique collaboration. While they brewed an IPA with freshly harvested NZ Rakau hops we brewed an IPA here in Seattle also using Rakau and some other rad NZ varieties, Rawaka, Nelson and Nectaron. We hope that this delicious IPA with big aromas of stone fruit,  pineapple, white grape and citrus brings some hope that Tomorrow's Sunrise will be more peaceful, equitable and kind.

Cryo Mosaic in the whirlpool builds the hoppy backbone of this beer. Dry-hopping with Amarillo and El Dorado adds aromas of orange and grapefruit zest plus hints of stone fruit.

This beer rocks hops from three world class growing regions around the globe. German Mandarina Bavaria and Huell Melon contribute aromas of tangerine and ripe melon. Moteuka from New Zealand adds aromas of fresh crushed Citrus. Lastly, Mosaic from the Yakima Valley of  Washington brings the mango and blueberry. All 3 of these hops have come together in perfect harmony, destined to be the next global superstar.

Why yes, I'd love a pint of the Please & Thank you IPA. This newest version of our rotating Hop Exploration Series is hopped with experimental HBC 586, Citra Cryo and Riwaka.

Sometimes a van is more than a vehicle. It can rise above and become a party on wheels, a symbol of freedom, a carpet-walled sanctuary. A GOOD TIMES MACHINE. Sometimes a beer can follow suit. It's not just barley, water, yeast and hops. It's a magical elixir. A party in a pint glass. A GOOD TIMES MACHINE IPA. To reach this pinnacle of carefree and cool, a beer's got to be loaded with some pretty groovy hops. Heavy additions of Citra, Mosaic Cryo, and Galaxy deliver the passion fruit, citrus and berry. This is no regular day IPA, this is a Good Times Machine IPA!

Call us old-fashioned or retro or...old, but sometimes we long for the days of yesteryear. The days when Seattle was rainy and grungy and kind of greasy. When you didn't have to iron your flannel shirts and Birkenstocks were a fashion statement (only if they were really smelly and worn within a millimeter of the asphalt). In an effort to celebrate those angst filled days, we brewed this hazy IPA (like the skies back then, get it?). Unfortunately, due to our naturally sunny dispositions and close proximity to so many hopeful millennials, we couldn't help but pack it with the brightest, citrusiest, peachiest, passion fruitiest hops we could find-Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy. So, celebrate those glory days with Sandals & Flannels IPA, but also celebrate the new you that showers daily and brushes your hair.

Rich in color and character, our robust porter conjures up memories of decadent chocolate treats dipped in coffee. Hints of dark chocolate, roasted coffee and light malty sweetness are the result of a complex malt profile including chocolate malt, roasted wheat and roasted rye.

The first beer to come out of our beautiful new foeder was brewed with locally grown barley, wheat and spelt malts, fermented with one of our favorite Belgian yeast strains and conditioned on Brett. We blended with a touch of our tart rustic farmhouse beer for a balanced acidity.

This big boy is a rich, smooth beer with notes of coffee and chocolate. Oats add a succulent mouthfeel while the mix of roasted, caramel and chocolate malts bring a robust and supremely delicious flavor.
