History

For this beer we teamed up with the prolific Seattle-based brewery Georgetown Brewing company to create a fun project revolving around process. Together, we decided on a base recipe in which each brewery would brew based around their respective processes in raw material procurement, brewhouse, cellaring and packaging. The idea was to showcase how the same recipe can elicit different outcomes based around different process-based decisions, all leading to the same goal - a quality beer. Two breweries. Two Beers. One Philosophy. It’s the Way.

Tasting Notes

This beer pours a brilliant straw color, with a beautiful white fluffy foam. Bright aromas of berries, mango, gummy candy, and peach accompany tropical notes of pineapple and guava. Smooth flavors of ripe peach, nectarines, white wine, and mixed berries. Finishes with appropriate sweetness and resin. Crushable.

Food Pairings

Rich and hearty burgers, French fries and complex pizzas. Aged cheddar cheese, aged meats, and pickled vegetables. Indian cuisine that is spice forward and balanced by yogurt and cream-based sauces.
