Boneyard Hop Venom
On
e of our favorite hoppy brews is Boneyard Beer‘s Hop Venom Double IPA. A classic West Coast imperial IPA, it’s big and malty, yet surprisingly balanced for a 10% ABV, 80 IBU beast. The key to Hop V’s deliciousness is the floral and aromatic hops obtained through copious late addition lupulin. It’s not so bitter, because, as the brewer states “No one wants a bitter beer face!” The Bend, Oregon-based brewery was inspired by magnificently hopped brews, most notably Firestone Walker’s Double Jack Imperial IPA. The killer artwork above was composed by artist Dana MacKenzie. Cheers to Boneyard for this killer brew. We will have it pouring at our KillerBeerFest 3.5 at Bailey’s Taproom on Sunday May 27, 2012. More details to come…

Join us on Friday along with Mark Carver, 10 Barrel’s Sales Director, and let’s get to sampling!
10 Barrel Tasting Menu
Oregon Brown
This is an event highlight. This is a brand new beer. It will only be available on draft at the tasting, and By the Bottle is the only place in Washington that’s pouring it.
A traditional American Brown, thrown through the ringer with a unique recipe twist. A standard brown malt bill is augmented with Aromatic, Marris Otter, Cara-Crystal wheat, flaked barley, chocolate, and special roasted malt. Then it’s overloaded with Cascade, Centennial, Northern Brewer, Simcoe, and Chinook hops, leading to a complex battle of pine and citrus flavor and aromatics.
ABV 6.7% IBU’s 68
ISA (India Session Ale)
*Available in 22oz bottles*
Deep gold with orange highlights, big citrusy aroma full of grapefruit and tangerine due to massive dry hopping, clean, crisp maltiness with a hint of sweetness, balanced bitterness is the result of the loaded late-kettle hop addition.
Malts: 2-row Pale, Honey malt, Wheat
Hops: Summit, Cascade, Centennial
ABV: 5.5 IBU’s: 51
S1NIST0R Black Ale
*Available in 22oz bottles*
*Gold Medal, 2011 World Beer Championships*
*Bronze Medal, 2009 Great American Beer Festival*
S1NIST0R Black Ale uses a special German dehusked black malt free of astringency, giving the beer a rich black color without the traditional dark beer characteristics. You will notice subtle hints of chocolate with an easy drinking balance on the back end. In the glass the dark color may look intimidating to some, but don’t be fooled. The unique combination of malts creates a very light body and smooth finish.
Malts: 2-row Pale, Carafa, Biscuit
Hops: Perle
ABV: 5.4% IBU’s: 28
Apocalypse IPA
*Available in 22oz bottles*
*Silver Medal, 2011 World Beer Championships*
A Northwest American-Style IPA. The color comes through as a deep gold with orange hues. Fruity and citrusy hop aroma shines, with hints of pine resin. The four hop flavor dominates, re-enforcing the aroma with more citrus, fruity and piney notes. The malt character is clean and smooth with a unique toasted flavor from the Victory malt. A firm bitterness keeps it all together. Apocalypse has a medium-bodied mouth feel, finishing crisp and dry, a very drinkable IPA.
Malts: 2-row Pale, Victory, Crystal
Hops: Horizon, Centennial, Amarillo, Cascade
ABV: 6.5% IBU’s: 65
