Thanks @seattlemet for the wonderful article on our pop-ups! It’s been an honor to work with such talented chefs and see them move on to other adventures.

Hey fans, we have a whole new line-up of pop-ups starting next week. Stay tuned for details!

As the season shifts, so does the beer we brew. Paulie is a low ABV farmhouse ale inspired by English Pub Ales and fermented with our house culture of feral and wild yeasts and bacterias. With notes of coffee, chocolate, dates and bing cherries, Paulie welcomes the rain and shorter days.

We’re a little reluctant to bid adieu to summer, so we’re offering a couple of awesome wines by the bottle that will make you feel like it’s peak patio season!⁠
⁠
Each 2020 vintage of these Pinot Noir wines from The Marigny are delightful riffs on this well-loved varietal. The Rosé pops with notes of creamy strawberry shortcake, sunflower seed and meyer lemon, presenting with a light body and finishing dry. This is a great wine to sip with friends while reminiscing on those mid-summer sunsets overlooking Lake Union.⁠
⁠
The Piquette is a chuggable, spritzy, fruit-forward little number that drinks like adult fruit punch. Passionfruit and woodsy aromas lead to notes of tart cranberry and raspberry on the palate. Drink this and you’ll feel like you’re cooling down after a long bike ride back from the beach, even if it’s time to break out the puffy jackets and beanies.⁠
⁠
We don’t have a ton of these bottles, and if the last time we had The Marigny in stock was any indication, they won’t be around for long! Come by the taproom to snag a bottle or two before they’re gone!

On Wednesday we released Orrorin, our collaboration beer with @bottleworksbier and @fullthrottlebottles. In this ongoing series, we wanted to focus on the importance of foraging hyperlocal ingredients symbolic of the Pacific Northwest; for this particular beer we landed on pairing second-use Syrah grapes with the bright, lemony, and piney aspects of young Douglas Fir tips.⁠
⁠
Foraging helps us feel connected to these ingredients, their importance in our environment, and of course, the resulting beer. We trekked out to Fall City back in mid-May to collect the tips (and get some fresh air in the process).⁠
⁠
Thanks to Bottleworks and Full Throttle for putting in the work with us on this special beer! Come by the taproom to try a glass of Orrorin - or of course, visit either of these fine bottleshops to pick up a bottle.

Presenting Orrorin, a piquette-inspired farmhouse ale with Syrah grapes and foraged Douglas Fir tips ⁠
⁠
It’s an exciting day, because we finally get to announce our collaboration brew with two wonderful Seattle bottleshops: @bottleworksbier and @fullthrottlebottles! A project months in the making, we’re thrilled with the outcome and can’t wait for you to taste what we all came up with.⁠
⁠
Back in February, we had the fine folks from both establishments come to pull nails and taste through some barrels. After some deliberation, we decided on a blend of an oak-aged beer with second-use Syrah grapes sourced from the renowned Red Mountain AVA which brought a punchy fruit character into the mix.⁠
⁠
Months later, we headed out to Fall City to forage for fresh new-growth Doug Fir tips. The distinctive lemon balm flavor of this choice Northwest ingredient adds a brightness to the beer, while providing earthy and herbaceous undertones. Expect pronounced strawberry and citrus aromas, a hit of pine, balanced acidity, and a signature Fair Isle dry finish.⁠
⁠
Orrorin is the first iteration in a collaboration series we are forging with these two bastions of the Seattle beer scene. Each year we will embark on a new project, and much like its name suggests, Orrorin is the genesis of this evolving collection.⁠
⁠
Not only are we pleased to collaborate with the folks at Bottleworks and Full Throttle, but we’re also grateful for their support through a tumultuous first few seasons at a brewery. It would have been a tough road without you sharing our saisons with your customers.⁠
⁠
We will also have a small quantity of Orrorin hot sauce made by @nachomamasseattle available at the brewery - we don't think it'll last long!⁠
⁠
Bottles and draft are available at our taproom and of course at Bottleworks and Full Throttle. Enjoy a glass or grab a bottle of Orrorin at any location and celebrate the collaborative spirit of the Seattle beer community!

PRESENTING WINDWARD & LEEWARD BATCH 37: Caine, a saison with chapulines⁠
⁠
Sometimes ideas for new beers are born of the simple question, “What would that be like?” Curiosity is imperative to keeping our experimental series interesting, and ultimately pushing our boundaries as a brewery. Enter Caine, a saison featuring perhaps the least conventional ingredient we’ve employed yet: chapulines, Oaxaca’s favorite insect snack.⁠
⁠
Our head brewer Nick has been on a real mezcal kick lately, and these toasted grasshoppers are a celebrated pairing. In a way, they’re an equivalent to peanuts as a simple and satisfying bar snack. Maybe you’ve munched on some chapulines while watching the Mariners play a home game, but if not, there’s something remarkably familiar about them: they’re crunchy, salty, savory, and often a bit spicy. That is to say, they’re darn tasty alongside a beer.⁠
⁠
So we took that notion a step further and added them to a simple saison base as a dry-”HOP.” The chapulines come through with a distinct savory aspect, adding a bit of chili spice to the mid-palate that plays with a note of lime zest.⁠
⁠
Don’t miss @ekeko.wa tonight - Jose will also be whipping up a chapuline salsa to pair with this zippy creation! On draft only when we open at 3!

Need a little help easing into the chilly weather? We’ve got some super steals of saison deals to soothe your autumnal woes - or help celebrate the new season!

We put together two different boxes of three 750ml bottles of saison for just $29! Both boxes feature our Dutch Koyt-style beer Luuk, brewed with malted black oats from @skagitvalleymalting.

Box 1 also includes Heinrich, our buckwheat saison with grains grown in the Columbia Basin by Kisler Farms, and Paulie, our dark farmhouse mild.

The second variation puts the spotlight on Henderson, a rye saison with @meccagrade estate Rimrock Rye, and Franz Meredith, our Grodziskie-inspired smoked wheat saison!

We think each one of these grain-focused beers are well-suited to cap off the summer. Swing by the taproom to stock up on this killer deal!
