Widow Maker Wit Light, crisp & refreshing Belgian style wit. Flavored with orange peel & coriander. This wheat ale is a 400-year-old beer style that died out in the 1950’s; it was later revived by Pierre Celis at Hoegaarden, and has grown steadily in popularity over time.

We’ve blended our favorite batches of beer with our house sour culture and aged the mixture for over 7 years in stainless steel.

Black Raven Brewing Company

1) Raven De Garde

Strong Pale with Brettanomyces. This Northern France inspired strong pale hybrid has gone through a seven-month secondary fermentation with the “wild” yeast strain brettanomyces lambicus, then dry hopped in order to meld bright fresh hop aroma and accent with aged wild yeast character. Pear and citrus hops play with tropical fruit, smooth earth, and light hay flavors from the wild yeast. 7.4% ABV

2) Corvus Frambicus 2015 Vintage

American Raspberry Sour. This pours bright and red with strong raspberry and mature soured notes on the nose. It drinks crisp and dry with a slight ‘raspberry hard candy’ note on the front. This soon gives way to a huge acid content which pushes the edge of comfort on the back of the palate. The finish is surprisingly clean and lingering. The base was brewed back in 2012 and soured using one of our two house sour strains, “Angelica”, which we grew up from wild bacteria and yeasts native to the Skagit valley. Copious amounts of local, seasonal and farm direct raspberries were harmed year after year in the making of this beer. 5.6% ABV / 9 IBU

Boundary Bay Brewery

1) Wonderland (2013 Batch):

The beer is a moderate golden-orange color with a fine, clean, off-white head that laces elegantly in the glass. Flaked wheat and pilsner malts enhance the head retention and body; while the use of acidulated malt, proper yeast handling, and high carbonation result in a deliciously crisp, refreshing warm-weather beer with a definite citrus-like tang! With subtle-to-moderate Belgian-yeast aromas of clove, complex fruit esters, and mellow herbal, earthy, and peppery flavor undertones. 8.5% ABV

2) Not Shawn’s Saison:

A balanced, dry, crisp, and memorable beer, inspired by Belgian Farmhouse saisons This Saison is bright as crystal and provides a sun-kissed straw/golden color. Given a little extra time in during the fermentation process to allow the free-rise ferment (no temperature control) to work it’s magic. Very subtle notes lemon and melon create refined aromas similar to a French-inspired Saison. Though subtle the Tardif noble hops harmonize with local Alba malt from Skagit Valley Malting. Flavors of white pepper, melon and tangy pear are prevalent upon first taste. 5.5% ABV

Diamond Knot Craft Brewing

1) The Binnacle

A Light Belgian-Style Ale. Pours golden yellow with a spicy aroma. Subtle flavors of honey and cloves. Finish is light with a slightly dry sweetness. 5.5% ABV / 20 IBU

2) Sour Weisse

Touched by lactobacillus through a traditional souring process where we let this naturally occurring bacteria – found on all barley – have free reign of the wort before we boil it and ferment with our house yeast.

Odin Brewing

Tripel. The Viking’s sunstone was a calcite crystal used to help locate the sun even in the cloudy northern seas.

An unrestrained wild ale in every aspect! This one is a Belgian-style witbier we aged in a red wine barrel for 18 months, along with a touch of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus to give it something special. A little bit of funk and tartness accentuate the citrus, spice, and wheat, which makes for an incredibly complex yet still refreshing ale! 5.4% ABV / 18 IBU

3) Ursus Spelaeus

Named for a long extinct Russian Cave Bear, Ursus Spelaeus is as deep and dark as the caves its namesake inhabited. Spelaeus has thick, rich maltiness with notes of chocolate, coffee, toffee, and subtle licorice in the nose and on the tongue with just enough hops to keep it balanced. The Belgian yeast strain adds touches of fruit, herbs, and spices.

4) Entendez Noel – Macallan Barrel aged

Like most big Belgian holiday beers, Noel is bursting with subtly complex flavors and fits no particular beer style. Its explosion of sensations comes from just Belgian Pilsner malt, cane sugar, Motueka hops, Trappist yeast, water, and fermentation.
