Although it may be confused for a lager, Kolsch is actually a German ale! Light gold in color and brilliantly clear, Kolsch demonstrates some notable similarities but also some differences. Kolsch ferments at slightly warmer temperatures, but like lagers, undergoes an extensive period of cold maturation. Its malt and hop characteristics lean heavily towards balance, making Kolsch the perfect beer to enjoy on a sunny patio.
Brewed as a traditional German-style Hefeweizen, with big banana and clove notes.
When you come in to have one beer and want “something else.” Refreshing, light, flavorful and somehow exactly what you meant. Something Else pours straw-colored and smells like mandarin orange, peonies, and a delicate dash of white pepper, then drinks dry with orange pith bitterness, a touch of caraway spice, and mandarin orange sweetness making sure it gets the last word.
A light, highly drinkable amber ale boasting aromas of toasted bread and herbal green tea with a slight floral ending. Flavors reminiscent of toasted bread begin to layer your palette with a subtle caramel sweetness that finishes crisp and dry, inviting you back sip after sip.
Based off tradition and admiration, Spocifico is sure to please your Mexican-style lager fix. Light in color and body and cereal-mashed with Hickory King white corn for abundant flavor and crisp palette. Light hopping with the backbone screaming from its nuances, the sum of the whole make it an incredibly drinkable and quite a slam-able beer. Lime, please?
Crisp and refreshing with balanced bitterness, Brick West Pilsner showcases the finest German malt and noble hops. Traditional clean and bready malt flavors support herbal, floral and slightly spicy hop aromatics and flavor. With a medium body and a dry finish, BW Pilsner is the epitome of balance, simplicity and flavor.
Starting with a sweet honey aroma, you will experience flavors of sweet maltiness, lightly toasted breadcrust.
Bright acidity and refreshing ripe mango burst in our newest summer release, Mango Marmot sour ale. Kettle soured then generously fruited with mangos and a dash of Saphir hops. Best enjoyed outside on a patio or by the Spokane River!
While still sharing many wonderful attributes with its East Coast cousin, West Coast IPA also has many notable differences. Instead of fuller body and less bitterness, Brick by Brick showcases an assertedly higher bitterness, while still being in balance, and a remarkably drier body. Hop flavors and aromas showcase the beautiful fruity and pine flavors of Simcoe, the citrus of Amarillo, and the berry notes of Mosaic.
Hazy, hoppy, juicy – what more needs to be said? In keeping with the trends, this beer derives its haze from healthy amounts of oats and wheat in the mash, as well as ridiculous amounts of aroma hops in the kettle and fermenter. Hop aromas of ruby red grapefruit, bubble gum and tropical fruits give way to a medium bodied beer with lower bitterness levels. Enjoy the haze you crazy kids!
Citra and Idaho 7 hops give this juicy IPA a bright expressive hop aroma and flavors of tropical fruit, citrus and melon.
Fashionably Hazy
A hop-heavy Double Hazy IPA designed around big juicy flavors and aromatics. It’s also described as a strong beer, with the brewer joking that even a full pint can hit pretty hard.
Ol’ Crimson 509 IPA celebrates game day with this effortlessly drinkable collaboration from Brick West Brewing. Notes of candied citrus with a hint of berry and tropical punch keep it crisp, playful, and just impressive enough for any crowd. A portion of proceeds from Ol’ Crimson 509 IPA are contributed to the COUGAR COLLECTIVE.
Simplicity at its finest, Seamus is brewed with the same ingredients that have created world famous Irish stouts for hundreds of years: 2-Row barley, flaked barley, roast barley and touch of English hops. Poured via nitrogen, the shimmering effect as the beer settles is truly captivating, while also creating a velvety smooth body to balance a delicious dark malt finish. Sláinte!
True to this classic staple in American history, Luna Maria will take you back to the times when stouts ruled the craft beer scene. Flavors of bold coffee, dark chocolate and tobacco define our take on this classic style.
The cold season is here, the days are dark with the sun looming low, and a beer to encompass it all has arrived. A melody of bready Helles flavor with roast and chocolate character that finishes bright and refreshing, our Lost Trails Schwartzbier (AKA Black Lager) is perfect for sitting by a fire or staying warm on the mountain.
As flavor descriptions go, the ambiguous “Brown” ale hits nearly every adjective dead nuts. Malty, hoppy, estery, sweet, slightly bitter and with light roast it seems as though we are simply reading the BJCP guidelines aloud to the class. But alas, these descriptors truly describe this beer. Clover honey adds additional complex sweetness to the beer.
