October 2018 Anacortes Brewery Releases and Events

New Releases for October:

Citra Fresh Hop Pale Ale (ABV 5.4% / IBU 50) Our second Fresh Hop of the season is a highly anticipated seasonal made with 2 row and Vienna malts for a dark straw color featuring major hop flavor and aroma from copious amounts of fresh Citra hops collected from Carpenter Ranches in Granger WA.

Erie Oatmeal Stout (ABV 5.8% / IBU 18) Named for the highest point on Fidalgo Island, Mount Erie, this beer is big and roasty on the front end with an inviting chocolate aroma. It’s full flavored with a silky medium-body and a bittersweet coffee note. Columbus, Perle & Cascade provide a delicate balance for a smooth and dry finish.

Broadsword Scottish Ale (OG 1.090 / ABV 8.3% / IBU 35) Black Patent, Caramel, Chocolate, Munich & Peat smoked malts produce dark color, malty flavor and subtle smokiness in this robust Scottish Ale. Perle, Cascade & Mt Hood provide a balanced bitterness.
