About Our Beer / On Tap / Ales By Style / Keg Sales

Our Beer

I have never considered myself a connoisseur of beer, but a fan of good beer. Over the years through trial and err I have developed beers that are quite drinkable with a wide spectrum of styles. I started out as a homebrewer with a goal in mind, to be a brewery owner and do things my way. I never wanted to be the biggest only the best I could be. I like being a brewpub owner / brewer / dishwasher and all the freedom of expression I have that shows in my beers. ~ Larry Pratt

Ales by Style

The English-Style Ales

Salmon Creek Ale - A Scottish style ale dark amber in color with rich malty tones. This is our flagship ale and our #1 seller and surprising low in hops. ABV 5.5% IBU 27

IPA - India Pale Ale is one of the Northwest favorite ales with a lot of hops and a crisp finish. As with all my brews there is pronounced maltiness but well balanced. ABV 6% IBU 70

Red Irish Ale - The Irish in me could not resist making a malty, slightly high gravity beer with a nice hopping to keep it interesting. ABV 6.5% IBU 45

ESB - Extra Special Bitters the richest full bodied ale I make and my preferred drink. This ale is copper colored with an ample amount of hops. ABV 6.5 IBU 50

Thunderbolt Porter - Dark and hoppy with a chocolate undertone. One of the original beers we started out with back in 1996 always has been a crowd-pleaser but beware it goes down too easy. ABV 6.5% IBU 42

Sweet Stout - One of the three originals. This a sweet stout but the name comes from when we started brewing and at the end of the evening this would be our last beer and we would go home and have sweet dreams. ABV 6.8% IBU 70

The Belgian Style Ales

Golden Ale - A Belgian ale with hints of spices and a crispness that makes it a joy to drink. Brewed with all Belgian malts and noble hops. ABV 6% IBU 25

Nut Brown Ale - Despite the name there are no nuts in the ale just a taste of nuts from the roasted malts and Belgian Candi. This the newest of our line-up and only brewed in small batches(3 Barrels) and not always available. ABV 5% IBU 32

Brother Larry's Dubbel - A Belgian Dubbel almost a desert and only served in it's proper glass. The balance of this brew is outstanding and the burgundy color adds to the experience. Gold Metal Winner Spring Brew-fest 2005. ABV 7.6% IBU 27

The German Style Ales

Altbier - A German Altbier is one of the few beers brewed as an ale and not a lager in Germany. We use all German malts and noble hops to brew this copper, crisp ale. This is a seasonal brewed in the fall. ABV 5% IBU 43
