Scars are Beautiful West Coast IPA is available in our taproom now!

Started by Jess Klembara and inspired by her experience navigating a BRCA2 diagnosis and double mastectomy, the Scars Are Beautiful collaboration beer campaign was developed to support those facing the same journey.

With each beer sold, a portion of the proceeds are donated to local causes dedicated to early detection and navigating mastectomy aftercare.

While this life-saving surgery is hard and devastating, the scars we carry are a testament to enduring strength and are, in fact, beautiful.

It's game day! What beer are you reaching for?

Head down to the taproom and get stocked up. We have 40 different beers available in cans to-go! We also have kegs cold and ready to go, just inquire at the bar and we'll get you set up in just a few minutes.

Available in our taproom NOW!

We teamed up with BreakthroughT1D, formerly JDRF, to raise funds for type 1 diabetes research through a charity auction. David and Brenda Vander Horst, through their generous donation, won the opportunity to choose a beer style for the latest Confluence brew and direct the label design. The end result was this wheat ale with hints of sweet citrus, soft banana, smooth honey, and vanilla over a light-bodied malt bill. Their love of cycling and Dutch culture inspired the label design for On Your Left—or “Links Van Je” in Dutch! This cause is dear to the Vander Horsts, as Brenda is a type 1 diabetic who has witnessed first-hand the rapid advancements in treatment since her diagnosis 42 years ago. You can help fight this disease by joining them as they ride for a cure.

It's hop harvest time in the Pacific Northwest! This gives us the opportunity to brew with the freshly picked, unkilned "wet" form of the hops. Straight from the bine to our kettles within 48 hours of harvest, these Strata hops will impart passionfruit, strawberry, & resinous aromas & flavors to the beer.

Our staff took turns with the honor of introducing these fresh gems to the kettle, and the brewhouse smelled glorious! Join us for the release on Friday, 9/20!

Brewed fresh to be enjoyed fresh!

Taproom release on Friday!

The winner of the 2023 Wort Challenge is Kevin Rutan, and this is his beer: an IPA with a roasty twist! Inspired by his dual passions for beer and coffee, Kevin crafted this brew to meld the berry and cacao notes of naturally fermented Colombian coffee, produced by Susana Cajiao and roasted for us by Horizon Line Coffee, with the passionfruit and bold citrus character of Galaxy and HBC 586 hops.

Peggy O's Food Truck from 5-8. Live music by the Luke Fox Band from 6-9.

Taproom release on Friday!

2083 is double dry-hopped with Columbus, Nelson Sauvin, and Strata hops which impart bright aromas and flavors of passion fruit, pineapple, white wine, and strawberries backed by a deep, hoppy dankness, all wrapped in a sticky, malty body with a soft mouthfeel.
