Cheers!”

Here are the descriptions on Extra Pale, Dank IPA, and Export Lager provided by pFriem Family Brewers.

Extra Pale:
Fruity scents of melon and pineapple, and the juicy essence of strawberry and gooseberry make pFriem Extra Pale Ale taste great, but it’s the big hoppy aroma and full flavor that makes it ‘Extra.’ Those hops include Citra, Mosaic, Equinox and Chinook. This strong pale ale is bright golden with an amber hue. Extra Pale finishes piney and slightly tangy, making it a great companion to Mexican food, sweet and sour flavors found in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine and white fish such as halibut, rock cod, and dungeness crab. Fruit dishes such as chutney can play off its fruitiness. ABV 6.5%, IBU 45.

Dank IPA:
This light copper ale shines with flavors of tropical fruit, hints of blueberry and a fresh hoppy finish. Ample hops include Chinook, Mosaic, Citra, Warrior, Nelson Sauvin and Columbus. Dank aromas of peach, mango, papaya, and blueberry. Bright flavors of lychee fruit, grapefruit, and light candy maltiness. Finishes piney, with a touch of grapefruit rind, fresh and super hoppy! Pairs beautifully with rich and hearty burgers, French fries and complex pizzas, aged cheddar cheese, aged meats, and pickled vegetables as well as Indian cuisine. ABV 7.8%, IBU 70.

Export Lager:
pFriem Export Lager is a testament to balance in brewing art. Aromas of lightly toasted bread, wildflowers, and a hint of white grape converge in this cross between a Helles and a Pilsner. Hops include Perle, Saaz and Tettnanger. Each sip balances pleasant malt sweetness with floral hops and a restrained bitterness. You may want to balance your last sip with another pint. Bright golden with dense white foam. Friem Export Lager is excellent with grilled steak, chevre cheese and German sausages – all timeless and perfect pairings…Prost!  ABV 5.7%, IBU 20.
