Brew Log
About our Beer:
Brewed at our farm-based microbrewery in Chimacum
With Certified Organic grain varieties we grow in the valley
Traditionally floor malted in our barn-- a slow, hand turned method intended to build complex malt character in the barley
We'll release small batch variations weekly, batch dated by month/day brewed
With homegrown variations on ales and lagers
Our aim is an unfiltered, untampered brew offering the flavors of these fields
Grown and malted for you by 4th generation WA grain farmer, field worker and beer lover Keith Kisler
Malted and brewed by Sam Dressler, raised nearby in Quilcene and trained in beercraft at many a woodsy, logging-road campfire kegger.
Self distributed for now, until we find someone else to do it!

Our very first official release…yay yay!
Hazy & Harrowing Pale Ale
Brewed 3-29-24
Dry, hop forward. Chimacum-grown, organic floor-malted barley, with a handful of our local, organic raw oats and raw wheat. Light bodied, with a round, soft mouthfeel. Pale straw color. Might make you think of melon and citrus. We grow, malt and brew this beer! *A “harrow” is a field cultivator we pull behind the tractor before planting.

Grain Hopper IPA
Brewed 4-12-24
Chimacum-style IPA, unfiltered but not hazy. Brewed with our organic, Chimacum-grown, floor-malted Talisman barley. Hopped with Mosaic, for that backbone of floral and citrus, and with Nelson Sauvin, for the white wine allusions and a memory of minerals. Light straw color, medium body. We grow, malt and brew this beer! *A “Grain hopper” is the tank on the combine that holds the harvest.
