Breweries
BREWER UPDATE 7/8/11 – Due to the nature of some of our smaller, family owned and operated microbreweries, there may be some adjustments to the brewer/beer list. The last minute addition of Harmon Brewing Co. from Tacoma helps to offset a couple of cancellations that came in today (Friday, July 8). Golden Hills Brewing from Reardan, WA had a family emergency and will not be able to make it to our Brewfest. Also, 192 Brewing Company from Kenmore has cancelled with us due to an overbooking error. There will be 18 breweries, 2 hard cider makers and a winery representing their brands with an average of 2-3 kinds of product each, so plenty of variety to choose from!
A total of over 40 beers, hard ciders and wines will be poured by the following 20 18 breweries, 2 hard cider makers and winery at the 2011 Rails to Ales Brewfest! See a complete list of all the beers and ciders below.
192 Brewing Company

THIS BREWER HAS CANCELLED – We make every batch by hand and we nurture it every step of the way. All from a very small space – 192 square feet to be exact.

Alpine Brewing Company
Oroville, WA
ALPINE BOHEMIAN PILSNER – Golden colored, full bodied example of this popular beer. A very slight maltiness is balanced with a generous dose of noble hops, which gives this beer a wonderful hoppy aroma without making it too bitter. Extremely “süffig” (quaffable).
ALPINE AMBER LAGER – This is a classic Bavarian “Märzen” with a rich malty aroma. This amber-colored and full-flavored lager beer is brewed from a classic recipe. A conditioning time of 6 to 8 weeks guarantees the exceptional balance, smoothness and full body typical of true German beers.
ALPINE HEFEWEIZEN – The golden color of this authentic Bavarian-style HefeWeizen indicates a full-bodied beer with a velvety smooth taste which accentuates its malty character. This delicate flavor is in harmony with the fruity, estery, banana-clove flavor one expects from Weizenbeers fermented with an original Bavarian yeast strain. Imported aroma hops provide a delicate, subdued balance to the natural sweetness of the malts.

Roslyn Brewing Co.
Roslyn, WA
BROOKSIDE PALE LAGER – A pale lager beer made without the darker malts that we use in Roslyn Beer. It is hopped primarily with Yakima Hallertau hops, and may remind you of a beer you might find at a small gasthaus in Germany. It is especially popular with people who like full-bodied, lighter beers with mild hopping, and is named for the Brookside neighborhood of Roslyn.
ROSLYN DARK LAGER – Our original brew. It is a mild dark lager with a distinct character, and closely resembles the lager handcrafted by the German brewmeisters at the original Roslyn Brewery and Malting Company one hundred years ago. We use our own recipe of Roslyn water, fresh from the Cascade Mountains, four types of malted barley and three hop varieties to produce this smooth lager.
