You fancy, Kasteel De Cuvée du Chateau Fancy Pants Sunday Kasteel De Cuvée du Chateau The Kasteel beer line has been at the heart of Castle Brewery Van Honsebrouck in Izegem, West Flanders — a family run Belgian brewery primarily known for its characterful top-fermented beers. The Kasteel range largely mirrors the rich Belgian beer tradition as it includes a blonde, a dark beer of the dubbel type and a tripel. But, Cuvée du Chateau is the crown jewel within the Kasteel range since it was first brewed in 2010. It found its inspiration in the

Logsdon Farmhouse Ales was started by Full Sail founding brewer and yeast master Dave Logsdon who has a special affinity for traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ales. When he launched the Hood River, Oregon brewery, he planted an orchard on the property with Belgium-imported Schaerbeekse trees. These trees grow the sour cherries necessary to craft authentic kriek beers. Dave Logsdon has since retired from full-time day-to-day operations, with John Plutshack and his wife Jodie Ayura managing brewery operations with Head Brewer Shilpi Halemane and Assistant Brewer Mark Pearson running the beer side. Today, Peaks and Pints presents a flight of Logsdon’s beer

Washington is the second largest wine producer in the country, and Woodinville is where it pours. With more than 800 winemakers in the state, more than 100 wineries in Woodinville, and more 90-plus rated vintages than any wine region in the world, Woodinville is where one wines. Woodinville is also home to many craft breweries, which are often crowded with oenophiles washing away their red teeth with hoppy IPAs.

May 30, 2015, Hellbent Brewing Company opened in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. Our love affair with Hellbent began that day as we soaked in sunrays and IBUs sunk in a couch in the brewery’s back parking lot. Good times. It wasn’t until a sample bottle of Dang! Citra IPA made it to our 2016 Thanksgiving dinner that we pledged our undying love. The hops smacked the tryptophan with toasted caramel, bright grapefruit and orange. Dang! It’s a cloudy, full-flavored IPA. Hellbent Brewing owner and head brewer Brian Young will discuss post-fermentation during the brewing process tonight during out SudsPop Beer

As Ben Love and Van Havig worked toward opening Gigantic Brewing Co. in Southeast Portland, they came up with a plan to draw people to their brewery smack dab in a industrial wasteland behind Reed College: Be cool. When they opened Wednesday May 9, 2012, they were cool. Their taproom had a college clubhouse vibe. They brewed amazing one-offs. Their label art, signed by the artists, could hang in museums. And, they would brew with the coolest rock stars. Of course, Havig and Love had the pedigree. Havig spent 16 years brewing at Portland’s Rock Bottom, and Ben Love held

Peaks and Pints cider flight Tacoma Hard cider, when done right, can be as good as beer or wine. Better even. Think about what we’re working with here. Beer starts as starchy water. Wine starts as grape juice. Hard cider starts as apple juice. There are 7,000-plus apple varieties to choose from in various colors, shapes, and flavor profiles. Further, apples thrive across America. Cider was one of the most popular drinks in America from colonial times to the 20th century. In 1920, the 18th Amendment went into effect, Prohibition started, and cider was cast to

PEAKS AND PINTS DRAFT HIGHLIGHTS NITRO SALTED CARAMEL PORTER, Cascade Lakes Brewing: OK, it’s not a cleverly named beer, but the name certainly describes this porter. The flavors are dominated by bitter dark chocolate and salted caramel. The malts are present and you do pick up some sugary sweetness in the aftertaste. Let it warm up
The first India pale ales originated in Great Britain as a modestly hopped pale ale, with just a little bit more hops flavor than other beer. Then American brewers started using newfangled hops such as Cascade, which Anchor’s Liberty Ale and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale use to great effect, giving the beer big citrus aromas and flavor. Then Lagunitas Brewing founder Tony Magee brewed his Lagunitas IPA in the mid-1990s, invented the West Coast IPA, which is all about the hops. Next came Vinnie Cilurzo — who went on to co-found Russian River Brewing — who brewed the first double IPA at
Tonight, sales executives for 21st Amendment Brewery and No-Li Brewhouse will bring their passion to Peaks and Pints when they host “80’s Rock Lip Sync Battle” from 6-9 p.m. In addition to tapping their craft beers, the two will perform their favorite lip sync routines in between sets of Peaks and Pints guests performing his or her favorites for major awards. That’s all fine and dandy, but even more important is the fact that Peaks and Pints will pour several of the two brewery’s craft beer. In fact, we can’t wait until the 6 p.m. start. Enjoy an all day
Yes, the iconic drive-in movie theater and miniature golf restaurant are long gone, but, thankfully, craft breweries are now a focal point for tourism for Clark County’s largest city, Vancouver, Washington. That’s right. Oregon may have Beervana, but Clark County has Brewcouver. A mere five years ago, beer enthusiasts of the ’Couve had only two or three local breweries to visit, including Heathen Brewing, Loowit Brewing and your buddy Ted’s shed in Hazel Dell. Now, Clark County hosts 22 breweries, including the five in Peaks and Pints beer flight today, Craft Beer Crosscut 3.13.19: A Flight of Clark County. Craft

Ecliptic Brewing 5 Beers for 5 Years: Brooklyn Brewery in Tacoma Back in early February when Peaks and Pints broke bread, or rather broke “Potato Paillasson, Smoked Sturgeon, Caviar,” during Ecliptic Brewing Co.’s “A Cosmic Brunch,” we pondered what to give the Portland brewery on their forthcoming fifth anniversary. If memory serves right, the first anniversary gift is paper, followed by cotton, lace, Grey Poupon and saxophones. Handing famed craft brewer John Harris a saxophone is weird; the man is steeped in Oregon’s rich craft brewing history. After beginning as a brewer at McMenamins’ breweries, he moved to Deschutes where
Happy National Milky Way Day! In 1923, Frank C. Mars created the Milky Way candy bar in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was named after a malted milk that was popular during its release. It sold more than $800,000 in its first year. There are two versions of the Milky Way bar: in the United States, the bar is made of chocolate-malt nougat topped with caramel and covered in milk chocolate; global Milky Way bar, the Mars Bar, is more similar to the 3 Musketeers bar, with no caramel topping. Peaks and Pints leans more toward the U.S. version as we dig

Peaks and Pints cider flight Tacoma It’s Monday, which means Peaks and Pints celebrates the taking of apples and pears and making them alcoholic and drinkable via a cider flight. Today, we focus on Portland, Oregon. While Portland is known for having more breweries than any other city in the world, amazing wines from the nearby Willamette Valley and a host of craft distilleries, the latest beverage trend in town is definitely hard cider. Sure, the city has a penchant for drinking, but maybe also because of Portland’s proximity to some of the world’s best apples that
You fancy, New Belgium La Folie Grand Reserve: PX. Fancy Pants Sunday: New Belgium La Folie Grand Reserve: PX Hailing from Andalusia, a large autonomous region of hills, rivers and farmland bordering Spain’s southern coast, Pedro Ximénez, also known also as “PX,” is a white wine grape varietal used in both a blending component and in its own right a varietal wine, which is an intensely sweet, dark, dessert style sherry wine with flavors of figs, molasses, roasted nuts and exotic spices. Pedro Ximénez was originally grown in the Montilla-Moriles DO region of southern Spain, and

Grain: the lifeblood of beer. Malt is grain that has been converted into sugar. That sugar is consumed by yeast to create alcohol; a process called fermentation. Grain becomes malt, which becomes beer. There are a wide variety of malts that brewers can use, all of which fall into two broad categories: malts, which can be steeped (good for extract brewing), and malts, which need to be mashed (all-grain brewing required). Roasted malts are any malts or grains that are roasted to a very high degree. The main purpose of roasting malts is to create unique colors, flavors, and aromas through intense Maillard reactions, the chemical reaction of amino acids and reducing
In ancient Europe, brewing was almost exclusively a woman’s role. The medieval times, however, brought about the frequency of brewing in monasteries to accommodate travelers, and as time passed, the number of female brewers dwindled, brewing in the home became rare, and commercial taverns became a predominantly male domain. Today, while women have since shed the label of “alewives,” they are continuing to infiltrate what has since become an XY-dominated scene by owning and running breweries. Women leading craft beer businesses certainly isn’t unusual. You likely know the names of the women in beer pioneers, such as New Belgium’s Kim

Hops are a perennial vine with the scientific name Humulus lupulus, which means “small wolf,” a reference to its aggressive climbing nature and tendency to take over other nearby plants. There are more than 120 different hop varieties used today. To be a true fan, the appeal of hops has to be more than just bitterness. Hops offer a range of flavors and aromas that resemble herbs, pine, tropical fruits like grapefruit and tangerine and more. Citra hops, well, the name says it all. A relatively new hop on the scene (released in 2008 by Hop Breeding Company of Yakima),

Putting fruit in beer isn’t new. The Mesopotamians were brewing with fruit thousands of years ago. But here in America, the first modern fruit beer was made 32 years ago at McMenamins’ first brewpub in Hillsdale, and featured some blackberries growing up the back fence. Fruitheads really didn’t have their day until Dogfish Head busted out Aprihop in 1999 with the tagline, “A fruit beer for hopheads or an IPA with a fruit problem.” Yes, some fruit beers can be palette-fatiguing after a sip or two. But fruit beers can also be as subtle, layered, and structured like fine wines,

Craft beer labels put all other alcohol labels to shame. From aliens to psychedelic landscapes, breweries and their designers dream up the most colorful labels in all of the alcohol kingdom. Amidst the tattooesque cartoons of buxom women and questionable puns, Peaks and Pints noticed a theme repeatedly popping up on several craft beer labels: birds. It seems that craft beer aficionados love feathered (and not so feathered) creatures as much as wine lovers adore cats. Just which birds are featured on craft beer labels? Peaks and Pints is so glad you asked. Get out your National Audubon Field Guide

Aloha 7 Seas Hula-Weizen! Local Suds: 7 Seas Hula-Weizen Let’s get this out of the way: The coconut isn’t a “nut” at all, but is rather the fruit of the coconut palm (if you want to get even more specific, it’s technically a “drupe” belonging to the same family of fruits as peaches, plums, mangoes cherries and olives). Call it what you will — from water to oil to sugar, coconut is STILL having a moment beyond the coconut water at the crossfit gym. 7 Seas Brewing released its second of six scheduled Bridge Series craft
Peaks and Pints’ barbecue pulled pork sandwich special pairs well with Matchless Brewing’s Pick-N-Pale Pale Ale. Peaks and Pints Pulled Pork Pick-N-Pull Peaks and Pints offers a pulled pork and coleslaw sandwich special today. Although this is a relatively simple dish to make, pulled pork has an intense variety of flavors. The savory meat, sweet onions, garlic and orange juice are complex enough, but then the addition of barbecue sauce and coleslaw take the flavor profile to another level. The varying flavors in the sauce, plus the fat from the pork, suggests that the dish needs
Go bananas today with craft beer to celebrate National Banana Cream Pie Day. Who made that designation is unclear, according to the website daysoftheyear.com. The major banana companies Chiquita and Dole are noncommittal about the day on their websites. Maybe for them, every day is banana day. But knowing that somewhere someone arbitrarily picked March 2 as National Banana Cream Pie Day was cause enough for Peaks and Pints to give the fruit its due by creating a beer flight of banana flavors. Yes, hefeweizens rule this beer flight as the top-fermenting Bavarian yeast Torulaspora delbrueckii, which German brewers refers
