NW Peaks Brewery New Beer Releases
Cascadia Shale Ale
A Sounders inspired beer brewed in collaboration with Sounder at Heart. We wanted to brew this again to commemorating the Sounders historic attempt at ‘the treble’. A great Cascadian Dark Ale featuring NW hops and a calculated IBU of 74 – the year the Sounds FC were founded.
Kentucky Common
The name. … The Beer Style. This beer has no mountain name, instead we’re using the unknown style for the description. The Kentucky Common is a new style that is not well known or commonly produced. It gets its name from the high percentage of Corn in the malt bill similar to bourbons from Kentucky. Additionally, it is an low ABV beer that a common patron could afford. Hence the name Kentucky Common. While that is the general derivation, the style is also so ill-defined that it leaves a lot of interpretation for the brewer. Many Kentucky commons are slightly sour or have other attributes.
