UPCOMING PACKAGED RELEASES
Releasing Saturday, 2/11
Mainstem Helles: Helles Lager // Brewed with pilsner malt proudly sourced in Eastern Washington, this German-style Helles Lager balances delicate, bready grain character with restrained bitterness from german hops. The result is a lager with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel and a crisp finish.
// 5.40% ABV / 16oz can
Releasing Saturday, 2/11
Charmed Life: Irish Red Ale // Low on bitterness, but big on flavor, this Irish-style red ale offers a pleasant, malty nose with subtle caramel flavor. Using roasted barley to achieve its deep reddish hue, this medium-bodied ale balances malt complexity with a clean finish. What a charmed life, indeed!
// 5.00% ABV / 16oz can
Releasing Saturday, 2/11
Favorable Fortune: Dry Irish Stout // Pronounced coffee-like flavor and aroma, imparted by a generous helping of roasted barley, gives favorable fortune a bold, roasty punch. Hop bitterness enhances the dryness while the smooth, creamy body makes for a perfectly balanced and drinkable dark beer. Fortune favors the bold.
// 5.00% ABV / 16oz can
Releasing Saturday, 2/11
Adult Swim: India Pale Ale // Partnering with Planktown Brewing, we packed this classic-style IPA with Amarillo and a heavy dose of classic “C” hops: Columbus, Centennial, Chinook and Cascade; balancing it out with a supportive malt backbone. The result is an entertaining throwback American IPA, rich in color, clean on finish and binge-worthy on nostalgia.
// 6.80% ABV / 16oz can

FOOD UPDATES!
We have made some slight procedure changes to the Maple Bourbon Bacon Patty Melt and the Artisan board, so please double-check your procedures when coming on shift this week!

EVENTS
The first of our two Ice Cream Socials is this Sunday, February 13th from 5-8 pm at Sugar J’s downtown! Come join us for some amazing, handmade Ice Cream sandwiches featuring our special collaboration ice cream and fresh-baked Orange Spice Molasses cookies from the Block 15 bakery.
BEER EDUCATION
For those interested in learning more about different beer styles, but don’t feel like sticking your nose in a book, we have a solution! Chris Leguizamon, the Education Program Manager at San Diego’s Pure Project has created a virtual book club that dives into beer styles and history. He has posted chapters from Jeff Alworth’s “Beer Bible” for your viewing and tasting pleasure. Check it out!
TAP ROOM UPDATES
Let’s make sure that we are doing frequent bathroom checks throughout the shift and making sure that they are tidy and stocked.
This week we are focusing on dishing out coasters. With us primarily being counter service, this can be missed but it is an important part of the guest dining experience to make sure that these are being offered when we pour a beer for someone. If you notice when running drinks to a table who used the QR codes that they have not received coasters, let’s make sure that we run back and grab some for them.
We have a lot of new and beautiful plants in the dining and barrel room that Sarah’s mom did a kick ass job of finding and potting for us. For the time being, she will be the primary one watering and looking after these until Summer so do not worry about watering any plants.
PUB UPDATES
We are working on some storage changes for the back server station (by the merchandise display) to help keep that space organized and tidy. As you all are working on the floor, please be mindful of the presentation of that area since it is so visible to our guests.
