Ninkasi
Website: http://www.ninkasibrewing.com/
Lady of Avalon – http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/ninkasi-lady-of-avalon/180568/
Ninkasi used all German malt from Weyermann (pils, Munich, Caramunich and Dehusked Carafe) to concoct this Prussion-style brew. Two early additions of U.S. Hallertau hops provide a spicy balance. This beer was lagered for two months before being centrifuged, and then lagered another two months for a clean, crisp tasting experience at the festival.(Color: Brown)

On the bottle:
A salute to the playful side of summer, we had fun with this beer! Maiden the Shade has a big robust hop character from the liberal use of 7 different varieties of hops. It is completed with a light colored malt backbone to stay in balance. Kick back and enjoy!!
Tasting Notes:
This beer has been dubbed a Summer IPA. Big powerful combinations of many different kinds of hops give a big hop profile. We added Flaked Barley to the beer to make for the smooth body and lighter Summer style IPA. Another Ninkasi Cult favorite!

A delicious northwest seasonal brewed with winter in mind. A dark double alt, malty, nourishing and delicious, it’s sure to keep the winter at bay, and yes, Sleigh’r does rock!
Tasting Notes:
An Alt ferments with Ale yeast at colder lagering temperatures. This effect gives Alts a more refined a crisp lagerlike flavor than traditional ales. The Double Alt means that it has been Ninkasified. Regular Alts are 5 to 5.5 % and 40 ibus.Sleigh’r has a deep toasted malt flavor that finished dry and has 7.2 % alc and 50 IBUs keeping it in a perfect Alt balance.!

Mac & Jack’s Brewing Co.
Website: http://www.macandjacks.com/
African Amber – http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/mac-and-jacks-african-amber-ale/7286/
The Northwest’s original, unfiltered and dry hopped amber ale. African Amber’s pioneering and innovative style is proof that drink-abilty does not have to be achieved by sacrificing flavor. This beer erupts with a floral, hoppy taste, followed by a well rounded malty middle, finishing with a nicely organic hop flavor. Locally sourced two row grain and a blend of specialty malts give our amber its rich taste. Further complexity is achieved by leaving the beer unfiltered, providing exceptional flavor, as well as giving our amber its unique “cloudy” look. Lastly, we actually place a bag of fresh, locally grown, Yakima valley hops in each keg creating what has become the original, cult classic, northwest amber ale.
Blackcat Porter – http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/mac-and-jacks-blackcat-porter/15083/
Hints of chocolate and coffee accent this rich and creamy brew. Blackcat’s smooth approachable flavor demonstrates that dark beers can be enjoyed by all. Our traditional Porter features five select specialty malts, English Ale yeast and fresh Northwest hops. Blackcat is clean and crisp, yet complex and flavorful. A superbly balanced beer that is drinkable any time of the year.
Bringing jockey box, Mark from Fred’s Rivertown Alehouse will pour for them.

Vaquero 2IPA – http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/snipes-mountain-vaquero/173957/
Iron Horse Brewery
Website: http://www.ironhorsebrewery.com/
Irish Death
Created by the brewery’s founder, Quilter’s Irish Death is what we call a dark, smooth, ale. Any attempt at classifying it just ends up sending beer geeks into a style guidelines diatribe. So forget style guidelines. Is your pursuit of micro beer about tasting copies of a style that fit guidelines anyways? (Neither is ours) We lovingly refer to it as beer candy. While tempting to session this beer, the name is a necessary reminder that despite the surprising approachability, this beer weighs in at a hefty 7.8% ABV.
High Five Hefe
Wheat, honey and ginger. A hefe with flavor before the fruit. No lemon required. In fact, please spare our beer from the embarrassment.
Sky River Mead
Website: http://www.skyriverbrewing.com/
Semi Sweet Mead – Bottles only, donating first case. 2 oz pours
Sky River Semi-Sweet Mead, although drier, enjoys a similar depth and character to the Sweet Mead. With hints of pear and a crisper finish Sky River Semi-Sweet Mead, served well-chilled, delicately offsets the exotic notes of sesame and ginger in Pan-Asian cuisine, and the rich herbal textures of the Mediterranean.
Blackberry Honey – Bottles only, donating first case. 2 oz pours
Sky River Blackberry Honeywine brings the alluring warmth of summer and Luciousness of Blackberries to soar over your palate complimenting savory meats and rich desserts.

CABOOSE OATMEAL STOUT
This Oatmeal Stout is dark brown to almost black in color with a rich cream colored head. It has a pleasant, full-bodied, smooth profile with an aromatic blend of coffee, oats, and roasted malts. Savor the long, rich finish that tempts you with just a subtle hint of dark chocolate. This oatmeal stout is something great to behold, enjoy!
ABV: 7.0% IBU: 30
BRAVE AMERICAN
2011 Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal Winner
Limited availability…
An American Brown Ale that is an exceptional choice for the Northwest craft beer drinker. This deep coppery brown ale has a toasty caramel flavor with an evident, but not overpowering, hop aroma. There is a well balanced bitterness that doesn’t linger, but transitions to a very clean finish with just a subtle hint of citrus from dry hopping. A perfect ale for year round enjoyment!

“A Bouquet of Balance”
This ‘Northwest Classic’ is a harmonious blend of our pride and our passion inspired by the rugged and gentle terrain of the Cascade Mountains. Starting with the pristine waters of Icicle Creek, we add the intense flavors and aromas of our locally grown Yakima hops, pairing the citrusy floral hop notes with a sweet-malty undertone. It’s an IPA that’s breaking the barrier between bitter and bold.

Turnaround Red http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/twelve-bar-brews-turnaround-red/167620/
5.7% A.B.V., 45 IBU, slightly sweet, caramel, not too bitter, medium body
The Name
The turnaround is the last few notes of the blues progression, the cadence at the end of the phrase which sets up the next verse.
The Style
Red ales have a long tradition in the Northwest, and have diverged significantly from their Irish red roots. The Northwest-style red has a complex hop aroma balanced by the use of lots of caramel malts, which provide a sweeter taste and give the beer its distinctive red color.
Our Interpretation
TBB’s Northwest Red Ale is copper going on ruby red, with a slightly sweeter feel than the rest of our beers. The malt gives the beer a pleasant medium caramel flavor. Six different hops are used in this beer, including Chinook which adds a Northwest outdoors pine aroma, a strong homage to the style.
Supertonic India Black Ale http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/twelve-bar-brews-supertonic-india-black-ale/163344/
6.9% A.B.V., 80 IBU, dry, roasted coffee, mocha, very bitter, strong
The Name
The supertonic is the scale note that is one step up from the tonic. So, if the scale is in C, then the tonic is C and the supertonic is D.
The Style
Although it seems like a logical extension of the whole East India IPA thing, India Black Ale (or American Black Ale) was actually conceived of right here in the USA. Historically, the British dark beers have always been low to moderate in alcohol and very lightly hopped, so a British India Black Ale didn’t actually exist. But we like hops and need little encouragement to add lots to dark beers as well as pales.
Our Interpretation
TBB’s India Black Ale is malted to be black and strong, with a relatively dry feel. Strong hints of coffee predominate, although there is no coffee in this beer. As with the IPA, five hops are used in this beer, although in different proportion to balance the slightly more acidic dark malt character.

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/big-e-two-pint-imperial-ipa/68697/
