Pale Ale
A Craft Original
Heavy on hops, that was always the brewery plan. So in 1980, we loaded Pale Ale up with Cascade—a new hop at the time named after the mountain range—and the intense aromas of pine and citrus sparked the American craft beer revolution. 5.6% ABV
Hazy Little Thing IPA
A hop-heavy, unfiltered, hazy little thing called IPA
Juicy hops and silky malt meet in a Hazy Little Thing with fruit-forward flavor, modest bitterness, and a smooth finish. 6.7% ABV
Wild Little Thing Slightly Sour Ale
Complicated brewing, easy drinking
This slightly sour Wild Little Thing has just the right smack of tartness for serious refreshment, while guava, hibiscus and strawberry lend fruity-sweet depth and a bright pop of color. 5.5% ABV
Oktoberfest
Celebrate the season like your backyard’s a beer garden.
Our Festbier is a refreshing ode to beer’s biggest party. Toasty malts and German hops yield notes of fresh bread and floral, fruity character for a balanced, crisp lager that makes any moment festive. 5.5% ABV
