Lemmon Logger

A German summer tradition, refreshing zest of lemon, Hallertauer hops, Pilsen & Pale malts.
American Brewing
Flying Monkey Pale Ale - ABV 5.7%, IBU 60
A great pale ale that is full-bodied and delicious but not overpowering. It has a great hop aroma and flavor, and finishes really clean.
Independence Pilsner - ABV 5.0%, IBU 20
A delightfully drinkable lager with a refreshingly crisp finish. Hopped with 100% Liberty hops to lend the perfect amount of bitterness and spice while also giving it a touch of American flare, one taste of this expertly brewed craft lager will break your dependence on industrial lagers. Drink American.
DogHaus Brewery (Leavenworth)
Double Dog Dare U (Imperial IPA)
ABV 8.1%
Our flagship brew. Triple dry hopped over an extended fermentation cycle smooths otherwise rough edges and brings out floral notes. Citra, citra and more citra. Inspired by gold medal winning recipe. Won’t hit you in the face…until you get off the bar stool. Dare you!
Ginger Retreiver (Hef)
ABV 6.1%
Take a chance on a ginger. Our lead brewer’s favorite concoction brewed left handed and red haired. It is a wheat beer with strong influences of ginger.
Downpour Brewing
Hipster IPA
7.7% ABV 55 IBU
Modern take on IPA, bright caramel color with a light malt body full of late addition, whirlpool, and dry
hopping. Intense hop fruit flavors and aroma.
Blood Orange Sour
5% ABV 14 IBU
Sour Blonde Ale made with Blood Orange
Elliott Bay Brewing
Riot Imperial IPA
6.3% ABV 88 IBU
Deep golden and slightly hazy; strong citrus-like aroma from distinctive American hop varieties. A long lingering hop aroma with medium maltiness and high bitterness.

Fremont Brewing
Coffee Porter
Porter / 5.0%ABV / 20 IBU
A robust, roasty porter taken to the next level with the addition of a Peruvian coffee blend from the fine folks at Tony’s coffee.
Lush IPA
India Pale Ale / 7.0% ABV / 80 IBU
Lush is brewed with a hand-selected blend of malts and lush, tropical hops reminiscent of lime, mango, and guava! Fun Fact: Lush was originally brewed as our Spring Seasonal, but has now officially returned as a year-round beer for us!
Brother
Imperial IPA / 8.5% ABV / 1 Billion IBU
This Brother is appropriately big, intimidating, and unbalanced with unrestrained quantities of hops for a head slap of beery ferociousness.
Summer infused with Raspberry & Lemon
Pale Ale / 5.2% ABV / 45 IBU
Our juicy, tangerine Summer infused with Raspberry & Lemon!
Gallaghers' Where-U-Brew
I'm Peach Ale
5%ABV 29 IBU

The Electric Koolaid Acid Test
6.7%ABV 42 IBU
Experimental test that’s sure to add a trippy PUNCH to your brain!
Georgetown Brewing
Bodhizata IPA
6.9%ABV
This IPA gets its light silky texture from rolled oats. The flavor and aroma both express mandarin and citrus all around. Over five pounds of hops per barrel makes this IPA truly Bodhilicious. Gold medal winner in the American Style IPA category at the Great American Beer Festival in 2016!
9lb Porter
6.4% ABV
This is an exceptionally flavorful medium bodied porter. We use tons of Chocolate, Munich, and Roasted Malt, then blend it with Centennial and Northern Brewer hops to create what we like to call Roasted Chocolaty Goodness. Mmm.. porter.
Hellbent Brewing
Hop and Oats Pale Ale
5.8%ABV 41 IBU
Our Oatmeal Pale Ale is a dry-hopped American-style pale ale brewed with oats in
addition to traditional malted barley. The oats give the beer a smoother flavor and
mouth-feel and help highlight the citrus and floral characteristics of the Mosaic, Simcoe
and Cascade hops, which we add during fermentation.
Hellbent Wit
4.8%ABV 20 IBU
We brewed our version of the classic Belgian Wit with malted wheat, raw wheat, and
pale malt, which give it a cloudy, golden hue. Orange peel and coriander seed
compliment the Belgian yeast and provide a spicy, citrusy finish.
Hemlock State Brewing Co.
Huell Melon Blonde
4.8%ABV 20 IBU
A very approachable beer, this blonde starts with a light body and just a touch of honey malt to provide a subtle sweetness. The combination of Huell Melon and Cascade hops give it a delicate strawberry floral aroma that's not overpowering
Fuzzy Buddy Imperial IPA
7.4%ABV 104 IBU
Embraced by traditional “hop heads” and those who shy away from hyper-bitter Imperial styles. This beer carries a golden color with a great harmony between floral aroma hops and malt. Fuzzy Buddy leaves a wonderful aftertaste long after you’ve finished your pint (and wish you had another!).
Ryes over Run Belgian Style Rye IPA
Words are not capable of truly describing this pinnacle in synergy of beer flavors. The grain bill receives a healthy dose of rye, combined with the most hops our brewery adds to a beer, pitch a Belgian yeast and magic happens. Your palate will seamlessly transition from green apple, bubblegum, spicy rye, and intense floral hop notes. Like climbing any mountain, this one is not for the faint of heart.
Naked City Brewing
Hoptrocity Rye IPA – ABV 6.5%
The original Naked City IPA is brewed with twenty percent Rye Malt and hopped with Zythos, Centennial, Simcoe, Amarillo and Mosaic. Spicy rye character and biscuit-y dryness serve to accentuate the bold hop bitterness. This delicious IPA is balanced by malt sweetness mid-palate and tropical fruit hop aroma and flavor.
Yankee Drifter Summer Lager – ABV 5%
Brewed once a year and released on Father's Day weekend, this beer is a tribute to our head brewer's father, Rodger Webb. A big time CB radio enthusiast, "The Yankee Drifter" was Rodger's CB radio handle. This light, refreshing Lager surely would have been a favorite for this amazing father, grandfather, husband, uncle, brother, and friend to so many!
North Sound Brewing
Hazelnut Goosetown Brown Ale
6.9%ABV
Chocolate, roast and dark Munich males give this beer a nice mahogany color- finished with hazelnut for a rich robust flavor
Tangarillo Wheat Ale

A single hop (Amarillo) wheat ale infused with Tangerine Juice. Light and refreshing

Hand crafted and meticulously aged in oak, King's Shilling is fortified with apple brandy made by Fremont Mischief Distillery.
Watts Brewing Company
The Leafcutter
ABV 5.1% IBU 30
A crisp, pale beer inspired by the ales of Koln, Germany. We took the precision of this classic German style and adapted it to the American palate with PNW hops, producing a beer of surprising depth and nuance for such a refreshing style.
Red Mason Rye
ABV 5.3% IBU 35
This beer is all about the rye. It bears many similarities to German altbier with its malty, copper color and dry finish, then garnished with Mt Hood hops for an earthy, spicy quality to compliment the rye.
Apian IPA
ABV 5.9% IBU 75
Our rotating line of IPAs is all about hops. Each release showcases a different blend of hops over a crisp, dry bed of pale malt. Join us on this odyssey of hop flavor to explore the finest varieties from the Yakima Valley and every corner of the globe.

So... what do you bring?
Your ID. Yep, EVERYONE gets carded, even if you have grey hair and are married to our mom.
Your wallet. Just kidding, you can leave that at home (except for that ID). The ticket is all-inclusive, so you won't need a fat wallet. Your friends.
Your neighbors.
Your out-of-town guests.
Your favorite beer-lover.
What do you leave at home?
Your wallet (see above). You cannot purchase extra tastes (an insurance thing), so cash will just take up room in your pocket.
Your kids. This is a 21+ event, so even babes-in-arms cannot attend. Even if they love good craft brews.
Your dogs. It gets pretty crowded out there, and often a little hot too, so please leave the happy pups at home.
