BEER available

12 oz cans!

ilk Pils
American Pilsner - 4.8% ABV

No, this ain’t no beer for the banquet, nor is it a beer for your high life! It’s an honest and true pilsner made with American grown malt and brewed with a touch of corn grits, Yakima valley Adeena hops and some rotating German hops. Crisp and clean, herbal and lightly fruity, bitter and well balanced.
[PACKAGED: 10/07/24]

ilk WC IPA
West Coast IPA- 6.6% ABV

Fitting somewhere between a Juicy IPA, a classic WCIPA and the new hazy WCIPA, our Ilk IPA fits nicely in the pocket of what we all are calling American IPA. Slightly hazy and firmly bitter, our IPA features Citra and Mosaic hops with a couple of rotating classic or modern IPA hops.

[MOST RECENT PACKAGING: 11/20/24]

ilk Pale
Modern Pale Ale - 5.2% ABV

Made with a blend of pils and pale malts along with hit of flaked oats, our modern pale is a lightly hazy, straw colored beer hopped and dry hopped with a not so sensible amount of Citra, Cascade and Galaxy. A light drinking but full bodied hopped up pint after pint experience!

[PACKAGED: 10/16/24]

ilk Water
Hop Water - 0% ABV

For our inaugural offering into the rapidly expanding world of hop waters we went ahead and made a "fresh hop" water! Using fresh picked Eldorado from CLS farms and our tried and true Olympia (it's the) water! Almost nil in bitterness with a biting carbonation and a nuanced nose of pineapple, watermelon and grass, we are excited about our foray into the world of essenced water!

[PACKAGED: 10/16/24]

16 oz cans!

Color Out of Space
Hazy IPA - 6.6% ABV

Stacked on LINC Buzz Pils malt, flaked wheat, oats, and barley.
Hopped to perfection with Mosaic and HBC586, and double dry hopped with Galaxy, Moutere, and Citra - ridiculously juicy, but not sweet! Still tastes like a beer!

[PACKAGED: 11/6/24]

Hecate’s Helles
Pale Lager- 5% ABV

Hecate’s Helles is our lager of choice for the darker months; named for the Greek goddess of darkness, crossroads, magik and dogs! We, magically, decocted a goodly amount of North American grown Old World pils malt and gently hopped it with a combo of Saaz and Mittelfrüh, fermented it cold with a blend of Dutch lager yeast and darkly cold conditioned it for an unnatural carbonation!

[PACKAGED: 11/6/24]

Findhorn Sanctuary
Juicy IPA- 5.8% ABV

A further ascent into our exploration of proto new age music and its influence on our impression of tactile joy! Made with locally grown pilsner malt, flaked wheat and corn and hopped with Azacca, Blanc and Vic Secret hops keeping balance and clarity in mid this beer is bright, mildly hazy with saturated pine and pineapple and a touch of crisp green grape. A tribute to Steven Halpern and his sense of the world.

[PACKAGED: 10/23/24]

Cans Get Crushed
Dry Hopped Lager- 4% ABV

Cans Get Crushed is the light lager our older selves wished our younger selves were drinking back in the mid 90’s while on yet another 6 stop West Coast tour playing in the band Cars Get Crushed. It’s a light lager dry hopped with a touch of New Zealand Wai-iti hops. Pretty simple and pretty crushable, should probably be in 12 packs.

[PACKAGED: 11/6/24]

Shuck Around & Find Out
Collaboration with
Hama Hama Oyster Co.
Oatmeal & Oyster Stout - 4.8% ABV

Brewed with a full pallet of amber, toasted and roasted malts, some random hops and damn near a bed full of whole oysters from our buddies at Hama Hama! Smooth, Bivalved, Desire.
[PACKAGED: 10/23/24]

Let Hop Be Your Gardener
Fresh Hop West Coast Pils - 5.5% ABV
Collab with Mount Olympus Brewing

Not just another collab beer with our buddies at Mt. Olympus Brewing, this fresh hop WC Pils has to be one of the best beers we’ve made in our short time open! A simple malt bill of flake corn and barley with the palest of pils malt, clean Dutch lager yeast and some Tet pellets in the boil. All the magic happens in the fresh hopping; fresh Sabro in the mash, fresh Strata in the hopback and fresh Citra in the dry hop result in a beer that ride the line between IPA and pilsner, the lightest touch grassy, citrus juice level bitterness with a fruity, tropical crushed citrus finish! It really is a garden of hop delights!

[PACKAGED: 10/02/24]

Villarreal
Mexi-’Merican Lager - 4.0% ABV

Pat’s been making a version of this beer for the last couple decades. It represents the beer his mama’s side of the family - the Villarreals, Salazars, and Marquezes - would drink at any and all family get-togethers, from reunions to wakes, graduations to house parties. Like food, beverage is usually the last part of a culture to assimilate and with this beer, we’re happy to keep holding out with ya all! Made with a cereal mash of a third maze grits, third Vienna malt, and a third pils, and hopped with enough Saaz to make it drink right, lime or no! AND.. we do like lime in the glass, not the can around here!

[MOST RECENT PACKAGING: 11/20/24]

Blow the Fresh Whistle
Fresh Hop West Coast IPA- 6.6% ABV
We took our inaugural Ilk Lodge West Coast IPA, “Blow the Whistle,” and gave it the fresh hop treatment! Loaded with fresh wet hops, fresh kiln and 301 fresh Cryo Citra and Krush hops; the beer smacks of tropical dank citrus. Made with a blend of pale and pils malt and fermented with a local, legacy brewery's ale yeast, the beer is dry but still full, bitter yet still soft and hugely expressive!

[PACKAGED: 09/25/24]

All That Citra
Fresh Hop IPA- 5.8% ABV
That’s pretty much it. It’s all that Citra. We got T-90’s, Cryo and 301 Cryo and of course wet Citra! Almost all the ways one could Citra. We kept the malt light cause malt don’t Citra! Citra ya hurd!

[PACKAGED: 09/18/24]

Dripping Wet Hops
Fresh Hop Hazy IPA- 6.2% ABV
This is a 100% wet Hop IPA. No pellets, no extract, no fresh kiln or frozen wet hops, just total wet hops! We put wet Perrault Sabro in the mash then wet Roy Strata and Perrault Simcoe in the hop back followed by wet, that day picked, Loftus Citra in the dry hop! There is Malt in this beer too, LINC Pils and flaked wheat; but that’s not wet hop, it’s just here to make this a beer. A Dripping Wet Hop Beer!

[PACKAGED: 09/18/24]

Fresh Hop Strata Pale
Pale Ale- 5.2% ABV
Strata is just what the start of Fresh Hop season needed, an answer to the overdone, never good, grass and cooked vegetable bomb that is the Centennial fresh hop. Fresh Strata is bright fruity and tropical, with just enough grass to let you know this is indeed a fresh hop. FH Strata Pale is made with a blend of pale and pils malt and a touch of oats, fermented with a classic NW ale strain and dry hopped with loads of fresh Strata. A much welcomed start to the season!

[PACKAGED: 09/04/24]

Three’s a Kraut
Smoked Festbier- 5.2% ABV
The beer our imagination is drinking in Bamberg at Sandkerwa! Made with Weyeramnn Vienna and Munich malts along with a touch of Mainstem Alder Smoked Malt, and hopped sparingly as to not get in the way of the complex malt expression.

[PACKAGED: 08/19/24]

Obscura En Olympia
Hoppy Red - 4.6% ABV
Collab with Cerveceria Transpeninsular

Such an epic collab for such a small beer! We teamed up with LINC Malt, Cold Stream, BarthHaas and our new buddies Cerveceria Transpeninsular to create this little crusher for the Grainmaker Festival! Made to showcase northwest grown and malted Frasier barley and featuring some of Barth Haas advanced hop products, Amarillo LUPOMAX and Mosaic Spectrum on both the hot side and in the dry hop. This beer makes for a balanced, refreshing, malt and hop experience!
[PACKAGED: 08/07/24]

0 Qualms Had
Black IPA- 6.66% ABV
We made this Black IPA with our resident Dungeon Master and beer savant around town, Travis Woodall! Brewed with a blend of pale and pils malt with just a touch of debittered black malt, it truly is a black IPA! We hopped the beer on the hot side with Simcoe and experimental HBC630 then double dry-hopped the beer with more Simcoe, HBC630 and Strata resulting in a beer balanced between a juicy and WC IPA, but, it’s black!
[PACKAGED: 08/19/24]

Lawn Darts
Rice Lager - 4% ABV

Is it light, yup. Refreshing? Yeah. Crispy, duh! For this tasty little Summer quencher, we cereal mashed a couple hundred pounds of Calrose rice then step mashed that with the palest pils malt we could find for an ultra-pale and bright beer. Hopped exclusively with Roy Farms Adeena hops, fermented cold and lagered colder, it’s the beer we wish we could have been stealing from our lawn dart tossing uncles when we were kids!
[PACKAGED: 07/23/24]

Rainbow Dome
Juicy IPA - 5.8% ABV

Rainbow Dome is our celestial tribute to one of music’s more transcendent possibilities! Made with a like mind of pils, pale, corn and wheat yielding a bright yellow ephemeral body! A distinct array of space fused hops: Riwaka and Mosaic on the hot side and Nelson and, appropriately, Galaxy in the double dry hop led a feel and substance of Gamelan of the Love God meets Garden of Paradise. Forever Rainbow!
[PACKAGED: 07/23/24]

Zealandia
Hazy NZ IPA - 5.9% ABV

Made with LINC Malt Steffi Pils and flaked oats, flaked barley and corn, double dry-hopped with Hop Revolution Rikawa, Waimea and Mouteka, fermented with an English strain, so much fluff! Loads of tropical fruits like loquat, lychee and rock melon, something like that...
[PACKAGED: 07/23/24]

Alter Your Expectations
Hazy IPA - 6% ABV
Collab with Grit and Grain Podcast

We made this almost NE style IPA with our buddies at the Grit and Grain Podcast in celebration of their anniversary! Brewed with ultra-pale pils malt and a touch of malted spelt and flaked wheat and hopped and dry hopped with loads, just loads of Eldorado hops; double dry hopped even, along with a small amount of Vic and Strata in the triple dry hop! The beer is just pineapple!
[PACKAGED: 07/10/24]

Isi Black Lager
Schwarzbier Style Lager- 4.4% ABV

Made in the Franconian tradition of dark lager brewing. We step mashed Weyermann pale malt with US grown Moravian malt and a small amount of black malt to get a beer that drinks light but looks dark as night. Hopped as one would a pilsner with a blend of German Spalt and Saphir for a spice and floral touch.
[PACKAGED: 07/10/24]

Mosaic
Hazy IPA - 6.2% ABV

We loved our fresh kilned all-Mosaic IPA so much we decided to take another crack at it! This time using 100% Roy Farms t-90 Pellets, Mainstem Pale malts, and a bunch of flaked grains. Fermented with our favorite Yorkshire yeast strain and double dry hopped with more Mosaic!
[PACKAGED: 06/25/24]

Pocket Pils
German Style Schankbier - 3.4% ABV

Malted with LINC Buzz Pils and spelt and hopped with German Tet and Hallertau. The first beer we’ve made on our brewhouse and cold fermented with a special Rocky Mountain lager yeast strain and conditioned until we decided to sell it! Sure to be a regular, crisp, crusher.
[PACKAGED: 06/25/24]

Circus Lupulus
Double Dry Hopped IPA - 5.9% ABV

Based on our ill-fated Simcoe/Idaho 7 Fresh Hop last Fall, we took the hop concept and softened it up a bit by Citra-fying it! Made with LINC Steffi Pils and Buzz Pale malts, corn grits, and flaked oats. Fermented cool - not cold - then double dry hopped with Roy Farms Citra and held cold until packaging. This one was a real trick to pull together!.
[PACKAGED: 06/12/24]

The Half Muntz
Hazy IPA - 6.3% ABV

Made with Mainstem Malt Cascade Pale, flaked oats, barley and corn grits and hopped with a little Eldorado and Idaho 7 and double dry hopped with a whole lotta Nelson Sauvin for so much citrus, pine and pineapple!
[PACKAGED: 06/012/24]

Hounds of Helles
Collaboration with
Hop Pharm
Landbier Style Lager - 4.2% ABV

Our take on a traditional German style Landbier only a touch lighter in alcohol and color and a touch higher in drinkability! Made with single decocted Steffi Pils malt and hopped with Tettnanger and Calista hops, fermented cold and lagered colder, unfiltered but still crisp and crushable! We were stoked to brew this up with our Hop Pharm buds out in Gig Harbor and their hound friendly establishment!
[PACKAGED: 06/12/24]

Fluid Diet
Modern Pale - 5.2% ABV

Perhaps you’re like us and have a 70% liquid diet and need to be drinking multiple beverages at any given time, or you’re one who just sticks to one thing for a while. Either way, here’s a timeless treat we think suits all occasions. LINC Buzz Pale and Elwah Spelt, with HBC 586, Enigma, and Mosaic hops. Fermented with English yeast. Punches way above its weight, drinks like an IPA.
[PACKAGED: 05/29/24]

Praise the Ray
Hazy IPA - 6.0% ABV

Oh! This beer makes us wish we could describe the aroma of fruit better! But, best bet is to smell it for yourself. The perfect glowing yellow haze hopped with generous amounts of Azacca, Mosaic, and Moutere results in a glass full of dry, juicy, tropical scrumptiousness! Give yourself to the Ray.
[PACKAGED: 05/15/24]

Pretty Boy Shumway
Collaboration with
Here Today Brewery
Hazy Pale Ale with Ginger & Galangal - 5.0% ABV

With a shared love of smash burgers you know it was only a matter of time before these pals of ours shared brew time with us, too! A collab pale made to enjoy with a kimchi smashie on a nice day - particularly a special day of Seattle Beer Week where you may find us mingling at their spot, ugly shoes and all! But clearly enjoyable on its own any day! Anyway, ultra-pale with a forward ginger nose and dry spritzy body, supported by Amarillo and Blanc hops and a spicy galangal finish; a perfect beer to welcome the coming of Summer!
[PACKAGED: 05/15/24]

The Minor Falls, The Major Lifts
Collaboration with
Full Throttle Bottles
West Coast Pilsner - 5.0% ABV

We do love making beer with our bud, Jon and his crew! We also love making WC/Modern Pils! So, it was only natural we get together and make something for their Seattle Beer Week West Coast Pilsner Party! It’s pretty simple, pilsner malt, Vic Secret, Centennial, & Galaxy hops, clean lager fermentation, and a month of cold holding - and you got a modern pilsner in your glass!
[PACKAGED: 05/15/24]

Reunited… and it feels so good
Collaboration with
Mount Olympus Brewing
Hazy IPA - 7.0% ABV

It really does feel good! We made this saturated juice bomb with our buds out of Aberdeen as a bit of a reunion beer. Loaded with Citra, Vic, Nelson, and a phat dry hop of
tangerine-heavy Chinook. The beer smells as good as it looks - as good as it tastes!
[PACKAGED: 05/01/24]

On the Hunt
Collaboration with Mirage Beer
Maibock - 6.4% ABV

A big strong bock of a beer made with more of our longtime buddies! This German style bock was brewed with a touch more hop balance than a traditional, but still heavy in malt. On the Hunt welcomes in the spring, and all the things spring brings - ya know.. birds and bees and all that * wink wink *
[PACKAGED: 04/17/24]

Blow the Whistle
West Coast IPA - 6.8% ABV

It’s official, Blow the Whistle! Named for the original knitting mills steam-powered whistle atop our production building connected to our boiler, both of which we inherited in taking over part of the old Fish Tale facility - and therefore associated with more than 100-year tradition of blowing the whistle in Olympia. With this beer we celebrate our ability to bring back this tradition after its hiatus from Fish Tale shutting down their production a few years ago. We now proudly sound it at 5 ‘o’clock Monday through Friday to let our community know it’s beer time, no matter where they choose to partake! The beer: lightly hazy WC IPA with loads of Citra, Citra Cryo, and HBC 586 hops! Pale and soooo juicy!
[PACKAGED: 04/17/24]

Pash the Tinnie
Fairly Clear Pale Ale - 5.4% ABV

This all Australian hopped pale is our ode to some of our favorite hops from down under! Topaz, Vic Secret, and Galaxy are paired with a light malt base and fermented with our house Yorkshire ale yeast strain for a beer bright in tropical fruits and citrus, with a touch of dank!
[PACKAGED: 04/03/24]

Love As Lager
Corn Lager - 4.4% ABV
Feat. Artist: Jesse LeDoux

A beer made for our friend and damn near family member, Sam
fucking Jayne! Sam helped lay the path for the northwest’s other not-so-grunge 90’s indie music scene, showing the kids how to go out and do your thing and have fun doing it, through his raucous Love As Laughter! Though Sam is missed, he’s definitely not gone, and we made this beer to drink with him in some cross-eyed beautiful place.
[PACKAGED: 04/03/24]

Totten’s Best Bitter
