New Releases for August:

Arts Festival Lager (ABV 4.8% / IBU 18) – The official beer of the Anacortes Arts Festival: Highly drinkable and well-balanced, this refreshing session beer is brewed in the traditional German style. A light maltiness provided by Premium two-row & Vienna malts is supported by restrained bitterness from Vanguard & Perle hops with a soft and dry finish.

This Year in Beer Series: 1776 (ABV 8.4% / IBU 86) – Batch #1776 for the Anacortes Brewery is a Double IPA that greets you with aromas of orange and tangerine from copious amounts of Citra, Amarillo and Simcoe hops followed by a sturdy malt backbone. Celebrate the pursuit of hoppiness the way our forefather’s intended!

Czech Pilsner (ABV 5% / IBU 35) – Bohemian style lager with light golden color from pale & Munich malts, distinct hop character from Saaz hops and lagered for several weeks providing smoothness and subtle malt flavor.

Wild (ABV 9% / 12 IBU) – Barrle aged 7 months with Brettanomyces, this ruby-colored Belgian ale exhibits complex and balanced aromas of sour cherry and fruit leather. Delicate hopping during the boil and months on wood produced jammy fruit flavors with a hint of Brett funk.

New Releases for May:

French Wit (4.8% ABV / 15 IBU) – Our take on a Belgian Wit uses a French yeast strain and unmalted wheat to provide a classic hazy, white apperanace appearance. Notes of vanilla and honey compliment a soft, rounded mouthfeel. Coriander and bitter orange peel added to the boil offer a pleasant sweetness that ends in a refrehing, crisp finish.

Barrel Aged Brett (5.6 ABV / 30 IBU) – Ales from two different barrels are blended together to make this lightly tart beer. It’s medium amber in color with notes of strawberry jam and fruit leather while flavors reminiscent of grape and berries finish dry and crisp.

Fidlago Light (ABV 3.5% / IBU 15) – The lightest beer in our catalog is named for our destination island. Straw-colored and lightly hopped, this session beer is designed for light beer drinkers.

Mai Oh Maibock (ABV 6.5% / IBU 30) – Named in honor of Mariners announcer Dave Niehaus’ classic exclamation. This golden seasonal version of the classic bock style is malty with a delicate hop character from Perle & noble varieties
