Join us this Saturday, February 18, for a free tasting from the Fremont Brewing Company.

Fremont Brewing of Seattle is a family-owned craft brewery founded in 2009 to brew small-batch artisan beers made with the best local ingredients possible. This Saturday, we will be sampling the following selections:

Universale Pale Ale:

This pale ale offers a distinctive Northwest twist on the classic pale, using a select blend of Northwest Pale Roasted malt and Old World malts balanced with classic Northwest hops to achieve a heavenly beer of rich malt flavor and subtle hop spice. 5.6% ABV, 35 IBUs.

Bonfire Ale:

Bonfire Ale steals from the winter fires its gift of dark barley and gentle hops to provide you with this delightful winter treat. This beer is roasty with subtle smokiness, but light in body. 6.0% ABV, 40 IBUs.

Interurban IPA:

Interurban India Pale Ale offers the adventurous beer lover a warm embrace of Northwest Pale malt swirled with a hand-selected blend of Chinook, Centennial, and Amarillo hops. It is bitter as an IPA should be, yet balanced with aroma and flavor hops. 6.2% ABV, 80 IBUs.

Session Pale Ale:

This session pale ale is made with Citra and Simcoe hops grown in Washington’s Yakima Valley which will enlighten your mind and make you a smarter and better looking person…or so they say. 4.5% ABV, 50 IBUs.

Dark Star Imperial Oatmeal Stout:

Part of their Imperial series and inspired by the wandering tribes scattered through the terrible journey of time and space and adrift in the dark matter between the spaces of then and now. Dark Star is a dark, mysterious, yet silky oatmeal stout of grand proportions, balanced by a firm hop handshake. 8.0% ABV, 50 IBUs.

UPDATE:

Moshin Wines have been added to this tasting.

Moshin Vineyards and Winery began in 1989 with the Moshin Family’s purchase of a ten-acre Pinot Noir Vineyard located in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, California. They specialize in small lot, hand-crafted wines, which include Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel. 

This Saturday, we will be sampling the following selections:

Moshin Russian River Chardonnay:

Half tank-fermented and half barrel-fermented, this unique Chardonnay has bright fruit aromas of kiwi and lemon with an underlying minerality.  It exhibits flavors of green apple, pineapple, and lemon meringue pie. Delicately balanced with both creamy texture and a racy acidity.

Moshin Sauvignon Blanc:

This Larrick Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc displays aromas of green melon, lilac, lime zest and star fruit. Flavors of honeydew, pomelo, key lime, and Asian pear appear in a full and juicy mid-palate with a delightfully crisp finish. Excellent as a pre-dinner aperitif or an accompaniment for salads and shellfish.

 Moshin Pinot Noir, Molinari Vineyard:

This Sonoma County Single Vineyard Pinot Noir has a medium ruby color. Its aroma is cherry forward with much raspberry and earthy, herbal notes. Its pallet is ripe with expansive cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate flavors that dominate with supporting notes of black tea and turned earth. It carries a good structure and balance, with a seamless silky texture and a generous finish.

Moshin Potion No. 11:

Moshin Potion No. 11 is a seductive blend of sumptuous nectar made from late harvest Semillion (25%) and Sauvignon Blanc (75%). Golden, alluring and enticingly aromatic, with the accent on juicy peaches, honeysuckle, dried apricots. Sweet but with a clean finish.
