Here’s the list of special beers that will be pouring on Thursday night:

Brewery Beer Description
Anacortes Brewery Dry Fly Whiskey Red Red ale aged in a Dry Fly whiskey barrel
Fish Brewing Fish Brewing Fresh Hop Ale Fish Tale Organic Fresh Hop Ale uses fresh hops that are picked and shipped directly to our brewery to arrive within six hours. That way we get them into the brew kettle while their oils and resins are still at their peak and before the flavors and aromas fade.  The result is a beer that subtly highlights the herbal, grassy and citrusy  characteristics of the hops, offering a nuanced, yet tempered profile.
Flyers Brewery Crash and Burn Smoked Stout There is about 80% of the grist using Weyermann Smoked Malt so there is a considerable amount of smoke flavor and aroma. 7% Foreign style stout as the base.
Fremont Brewing Winey Brother Merlot barrel aged Brother Double IPA
Hood Canal Brewing Hoods Head Smoked Amber 80% of the grist using Weyermann Smoked Malt so there is a considerable amount of smoke flavor and aroma. 7% Foreign style stout as the base.
Hales Ales Merlot Wit Belgian Wit beer aged in French Merlot barrels for 11 months at cellar temperature. 4.7% ABV, 4 IBU. Tart & dry, aroma of bready Merlot, lingering oak tannin finish.
Issaquah Brewery/Rogue Polish Frog Polish-style Grodziskie bier, Ingredients: 100% Oak-smoked wheat malt, Sterling hops-ABV: 3.5%, IBU: 40
Naked City Brewing Smoketoberfest – Rauchbier This delicious smoked lager is brewed in the tradition of the great Rauchbiers of Bamberg to evoke the old abbey church spires, green hillsides, and rich beer-loving tradition of that special German town.
