There is plenty to love about craft beer — from the work that goes into taste and aroma, to the unbelievable creativity that goes into naming beer. Many brewers brand their beers after their favorite pop culture passions. After all, pop culture has become indispensable and is now intertwined with our lives.

Nut brown ales may not get all the attention the hazies receive. However, the style certainly deserves credit for introducing many to craft beer. Nut browns celebrate the pleasures of malt, so much that they are often considered a gateway for nascent beer enthusiasts. They’ve certainly lured many away from a life of drinking homogenous macros. The nut brown ale is a style known for its maltiness, with little or no hop aroma. A British classic, nut brown ale contains nary a nut. The name is derived from this medium-bodied beer’s use of toasted malted barley as opposed to roasted

Beginning approximately 15,000 years ago, ice dams on massive Lake Missoula in Montana began to break, sending torrents of deep water rushing through Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The process continued for thousands of years with up to 40 major floods eventually forming what is now the Columbia River Gorge. It’s a gorgeous area filled with waterfalls, hiking trails, outdoor recreation galore and craft breweries and ciders in a 40-mile stretch west to east — from Multnomah Falls to The Dalles, with Hood River somewhat in the middle. The ancient floods left Hood River with rich mineral soil. Double Mountain Brewery

Helles is a German style blonde lager that is one of the few beers with an actual birth date of March 21, 1894, courtesy of the Spaten Brewery in Munich. Helles (pronounced “HELL-us”) was, like a few other styles, an invention of competitive necessity. In the mid 1800s, the Bavarian brewer, Josef Groll, developed a new style of beer for brewers in Plzeň, Bohemia — the pilsner. Gabriel Sedlmayr, owner of Spaten, would have none of it. That fateful March day he released an answer to pilsner — a light golden lager style called helles, which translates to “bright,” “pale,”
6-Pack of Things To Do: Saturday March 13 2021 This is the time of year when the soul’s attention shifts from internal to external, from winter’s cozy home/hearth to nature’s boundless fertility, when the tides tremble and the moon winks and dogs get that look in their eye and the lagers flow like wine.

March and April 2020 weren’t great months for breweries, even in the South Sound. “I had full tanks of lager when the shutdown hit,” says Three Magnets Brewing Head Brewer Aaron Blonden. Blonden had only held the position for a couple months, moving on from Matchless Brewing via Chainline Brewing. He had no idea Three Mags owners, Sara and Nathan Reilly, are exceptional at pivoting. They quickly rallied around the family, moving to a “Garden Movement Meal Delivery” operation offering a local, ready-to-heat meal delivery service that includes eggs, coffee beans, housemade condiments and Blonden’s beers, along with other alcoholic

You have, no doubt, read enough Mirage Beer flight write-ups to know founder Mike Dempster opened the Seattle South Park neighborhood in November 2017.

What is a session beer? Well, it depends on whom you ask. The term’s precise origins and coinage are fuzzy. Beer experts can’t seem to agree on a specific year, for instance, but consistently point to British pub culture as its inspiration. Session beer is not defined by flavors or aromas, which can place it in almost any style category. It’s generally agreed upon, however, that any brew bearing the description should be low in alcohol but tasty enough to enjoy for a prolonged period of time, or “session.” The alcohol by volume, or ABV, issue is a bone of

Every Monday, Peaks & Pints suggests a to-go flight of cider. On this International Women’s Day, Peaks & Pints suggests the to-go flight should be ciders made by women. After all, women were the ones making cider in the 17th century when they first settled in the Chesapeake. Colonists were skeptical of water quality so their main source of hydration was alcohol, most often in the forms of cider or small ale (a lower-alcohol beer). Cidermaking was considered a part of cooking, thus placing it firmly within the female domain. Women, or Ale Wives, were often imported as brides specifically

Pale ales originated in the UK in the late 1700s after reliable methods existed to produce pale barley malt, and that meant pale-colored beer. At first, the new pale malt was expensive, so the pale beers were limited to wealthier drinkers. But as pale malt became more affordable, pale-colored ales displaced dark ales in popularity, slowly overtaking porter and stout. Sierra Nevada “Americanized” the style in 1980 when they boosted the alcohol content of the low ABV English pales, and with more malt also came more hops — specifically Cascade hops. In addition, Sierra Nevada boosted the carbonation, which became

Consider the Oreo. In the 100 years since its invention, Oreo has become the representative cookie of modern American culture. Everyone loves Oreos. (Quiet down, contrarians. We said everyone loves Oreos.) Oreos are mixed into Dairy Queen Blizzards. They’re used to make chocolate-y delicious pie crusts. Weird Al Yankovic wrote a song about Oreos called The White Stuff. And, they make delicious stouts. It’s not like you didn’t know there were stouts made to emulate Oreos. It’s a pretty obvious and common adjunct flavor profile, chocolate and vanilla. Smoosh ‘em together, and that’s basically an Oreo. Today is National Oreo
