Meet The Brewer: Widmer

Tomorrow night at the Green Dragon Widmer Brothers Brewing will be bringing a selection of their brews. I hope they bring some of their beers that you can only get a the Gasthaus Pub.

Here is a list from their website of their beers:

Core Lineup

Widmer Hefeweizen

"The Widmer legend – cool, cloudy, and totally refreshing!"
Broken Halo IPA

"A devilishly bold, heavenly smooth India Pale Ale."
Drop Top Amber Ale

"A creamy, flavorful Amber that’s super smooth & easy to drink."
Alt

"Assertive hop bitterness and flavor."
Widmer Root Beer

"Smooth, rich and bold - we make our own old-fashioned root beer!"
W'08 Crimson Wheat

"A dark wheat with a mild spicy hop aroma, clean finish, and slight dark caramel sweetness."

Changing Lineup

Russell St. Ale

"Fruity ester aroma and flavor with a balance of robust malt and notable hops."
8 Grain Brown Ale

"A nut brown ale with a clean finish and easy to drink."
Dortmunder Lager

"Light, Crisp, Refreshing"
O'Casey's Irish Stout

"Creamy with a pleasant dry roast character"
Half Nelson IPA

"Made with imported hops from New Zealand. Fruity berry like aroma and flavor with significant yet smooth bitterness."
NW Red

"Notable hop aroma and flavor. Deep red in color. Stealthly alcohol content."
Old Embalmer

"Barley wine. 9.5% ABV. Available only in a 10 oz. glass."
Belgian Golden Ale

"Peppery yeast flavors mix with subtle Sterling hop flavor."

Meet the Brewer: Amnesia Brewing

Tuesday Night Green Dragon continued their popular series, Meet the Brewer. In the weeks past Lazy Boy Brewing, Salmon Creek Brewery and others have shared their beers and stories of creating fine NW Craft Brews.
Last Night was a special treat for Amnesia Brewing Fans, a rare appearance by head brewer
Kevin Young and assistant brewer Chris. (Pictured to left Kevin, Craig Nicholls of Roots Brewing and Chris)
Kevin did not disappoint and brought a variety of his delicious beers including my new favorites Sleighjerker & Frosty's Revenge. Both beers we smooth & hoppy the way that I like them.
Kevin was happy to talk about his beer and his experience as a brewer. He first started off as a home brewer and brewed every Saturday with his friend for Five years. Then he worked his way through quite a few breweries including Pyramid, McMenamins & Rogue to name a few. He has obviously put his time in and learning the craft of brewing and it shines in his beers.
Amnesia has experienced continuous growth and looks to expand its brewing capability later this summer with a new production facility.

Next Week up at Green Dragon is Nikasi Brewing and Jamie Floyd will be bringing something special which is ok with me.
