Hops ‘n Pops Tasting Menu Laughing Dog Imperial IPA

Malts are a little less sweet in this hop bomb, allowing the piney-hop character to pack plenty of  a hop punch

8% ABV, 127 IBU

Paired with Chile Lime Potato Pop Chips

HUB Ace of Spades Imperial IPA

Huge spicy and citrus hop aroma and flavor with a deep bitterness and alcohol bites, a hopped-out beast

9.2% ABV, 100+ IBU

Paired with Jalapeno Potato Pop Chips

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA

Esquire Magazine said, “perhaps the best I.P.A. in America.” An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with notes of malt, brandied fruitcake, raisins, and  citrus.

9% ABV, 90 IBU

Paired with Barbecue Pop Chips 

Mendocino Brewing Imperial IPA

A full body delivers the perfect balance of heady bitterness and luxuriant sweetness

8% ABV.

Paired with Sweet Potato Pop Chips

Meet the New Brewer at the New Salmon Creek
Brewery & Pub
Tom at BTB'S Tap Room the night before we opened

Thomas Munoz, Salmon Creek’s new brewer will be working the room on Friday night. Tom is a very decorated brewer not just with the medals he has won in the brewing industry, but with his personality, charm, and good looks!

Tom has been a dear friend of ours for many years, and when we learned of his availability to brew again, it was right at the time that Salmon Creek was in need for their new brewer, so we quickly snatched him up. You may not see Tom around a lot because he lives in the Seattle area, and is only able to commute at this time. When he’s here, he’s busy brewin’! So, this Friday he will be able to join you in the brewpub or the patio just to say “hey” and tip a glass or two. Stop by to say,”hi” and get yourself a $3 pint of any Salmon Creek brew: Weizenbock, Porter, India Red Ale, Extra Pale Ale, or a Belgian Blonde.
Cheers!

By The Bottle To Take Over Salmon Creek Brewpub

New Salmon Creek Brewpub owner Dave Nunez

Salmon Creek BrewpubI have known Salmon Creek Brewpub founders Larry and Ana Pratt for nearly a decade. We immediately became friends when I stumbled into the downtown Vancouver, WA brewpub one day sporting a Boston Red Sox hat and t-shirt. Ana, the impassioned face of the establishment asked me where I was from in New England. When I told her a little town in Central Maine, her eyes lit up. Figuring no one knew where the hell Dover-Foxcroft in Piscataquis County was, I was mistaken. Her husband, co-founder and head brewer of Salmon Creek, as it turns out, grew up in the neighboring town of Sangerville where I attended grade school. There was an instant connection between all of us and over the years I grew to become quite good friends with these nice folks. Today I consider them family despite not even knowing them while living back East. Larry and I shared many stories and humorous tales of our times growing up in the same small world and to this day we enjoy many beers together. Read More…
