We’ve also highlighted a few select brews, completely new to the festival this year:
Alaskan Pumpkin Porter
Eleven pounds of pumpkin per barrel makes this ale smooth and velvety with a rich roasted flavor! This autumn ale was handcrafted in Juneau, Alaska by the Alaskan Brewing Co., and brewed with pumpkin, brown sugar and spices.
Food Pairing:
Harvest fare…turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Also try it with any smoked delicacy, such as smoked salmon or smoked gouda cheese.
SanTan Devil’s Ale
This new breed of West Coast American Ale is the flagship brew of SanTan Brewing Company. Devil’s Ale is defined by its delicious citrus hop character, derived from Cascade and Centennial hops grown in the Pacific Northwest.
Food Pairing:
Salmon and pork (i.e. BACON!), as well as sharp cheeses such as Cheddar and Colby.
Upslope Thai IPA
Upslope’s Thai Style White IPA is an artful combination of carefully chosen ingredients…brewed using Belgian Wit yeast and infused with seven Asian-inspired spices!
Food Pairing:
Pad Thai, Seafood
