July + Bremerton = beer. And all you need is right here in Kitsap: Nearly 400,000 gallons were produced by the county’s 11 craft breweries this past year.
I’ve got some big brewery festivities to tell you about, starting with my tour Saturday of Bremerton’s four craft breweries and finishing with Bremerton’s massive Summer BrewFest taking place on the town’s waterfront July 18. Here’s your cheat sheet:
STORY WALK OF BREMERTON’S BREWERIES
This free Kitsap Sun tour, at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 11, will go see each of Bremertons’ four breweries. It will start downtown at LoveCraft and Wobbly Hopps Brewery, which will open soon, and then venture across the Manette Bridge to see Silver City Brewery (at the Manette Saloon) and finish at Der Blokken Brewery.
Meet at the Norm Dicks’ Government Center parking lot on Fifth Street, between Pacific and Washington avenues. Wear comfortable shoes, as we will be walking across the Manette Bridge and back.
BLOCK PARTY
The Horse and Cow Pub and Grill (536 Fourth Street) will host a first anniversary block party from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday. The street will be shut down and beers from the local breweries served, along with live music, barbecue and $2 burgers.
KITSAP QUIZ NIGHT: BREWER’S EDITION
Did I mention I host a news trivia night? On Thursday, July 16, we’ll do a local beer-inspired quiz at the Manette Saloon (2113 E. 11th Street) starting sharply at 7 p.m.
For more details, check out the Facebook invite here and be sure to RSVP. Bring a team or just bring yourself. The winning team will get beer-related prizes to take home.
BREWFEST PREVIEW NIGHT
On the eve of the actual BrewFest, Toro Lounge (315 Pacific Avenue) is hosting a preview featuring several local breweries. It will run from 6-8 p.m.
BREMERTON SUMMER BREWFEST
Aaaaand we’ve come to the main event: from noon to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 18, 30 craft breweries from around Washington will pour around 100 different beers. This year — the fifth in the festival’s history — is the first time it won’t be located on Pacific Avenue, and instead will pack the Louis Mentor Boardwalk near the maria. Each year has drawn thousands of people from all over Western Washington. Tickets are $25 at the door or $20 if pre-purchased, which buys you six five-ounce tastes. Tickets can be purchased here.
That should do it, ladies and gents (let me know if I’ve missed any!). And please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have questions.
For more information about each of Kitsap County’s breweries, check out this amazing graphic my colleague Tad Sooter put together. Oh, and below, you’ll also find a full list of beers for the Summer BrewFest.

Seattle
1) Superfuzz Blood Orange Pale
There’s a new beer in town–Superfuzz Blood Orange Pale–and he’s
sticking it to the Man. Superfuzz is a beer you can get behind,
with Pale, Munich and Dextri-Pils malts and German Northern Brewer
and Cascade hops to bitter and flavor. But it’s Citra, Amarillo and
blood orange peel and puree that’ll really get you on your feet.
Never dance? We’ll see about that. 5.4% ABV
2) Dayglow IPA
This is a beer with the insistent beat of hops, as driving and
inevitable as a Full Moon party in Haad Rin. It drips with
tropical, sunshiny Mosaic, and twinkles with touches of Eldorado
and Centennial. A touch of wheat hazes the malt bill a bit around
the edges, and the IBUs are stuck in the mid-sixties. 6.5% ABV
Fish Brewing
Olympia
1) Blackbird Island Hopfenweizen
Designed as a celebration of hops, the beer pours a deep, hazy
gold, with orange highlights, has intense floral, spice and citrus
aromatics, a lingering hop bitterness, and a banana bread sweetness
with hints of clove and vanilla. 6.1% ABV / 19 IBU

caramel throughout. 8.5% ABV / 1 Billion IBU

Georgetown Brewing
Seattle
1) Johnny Utah
With heavy grapefruit, citrus and resin in the nose, this light
colored ale has minimal malt interference giving the beer a clean
finish without a cloying bitterness. Pronounced grapefruit and pine
flavors with a faint verdant note. 5.6% ABV / 50 IBU
2) Eddie IPL
Originally brewed as a last minute add to the brew schedule when
some fresh Mosaic hops fell in our laps, we decided to give it
another go, but without the fresh hops this time. Brewing the beer
as a lager gives the beer a crisp character, brightening the
passionfruit and stone fruit aromas from the Mosaic hops, but still
delivering the citrus flavors and upfront bitterness of an IPA.
6.9% ABV / 60 IBU
Hale’s Ales
Seattle
1) Àndale IPA
An IPA infused with chillis to spice up your summer.
2) Supergoose IPA
Aggressively dry hopped and rich in hop flavor and aroma, Hale’s
Supergoose IPA is nonetheless well balanced, smooth, and citrusy.

IPAs, you’ve gotta try Supergoose! 6.9% ABV / 67 IBU
Harmon Brewery
Tacoma

IBU

Razzbeery shandy – Mt. Takhoma blonde is a light bodied, crisp and
refreshing brew. German pilsner malt and a touch of white wheat are

for a sunny day in the beer garden or at you favorite beer
festival. 4.4% ABV / 18 IBU
3) One Hop Wonder IPA
This version of our one hop wonder series was brewed with cascade
hops. 5 malted barleys make up the grain bill creating an exciting
medium bodied IPA with a little sweetness. And all cascade all the
time for this IPA 4 kettle additions showcase one of the most
classic hops of all time. 7.3% ABV / 75 IBU

fresh figs, pears, and over ripe red apples. Honey, nuts and
toasted aromas also. Sweet toasty malt flavors up front, then some
dry fig notes. The body is very thick and creamy.
2)Mt. Walker Wheat Ale

that lingers on the tongue. Its effervescence is particularly
refreshing in sunny weather. This is our summer seasonal so enjoy
while it’s here! 4% ABV

blended with rolled oats to give this unique mouth feel with a dry
finish. Just enough Northern Brewer hops have been added to give
this creamy headed ale a fine balance, 5.0% ABV
In The Shadow Brewing
Arlington
1) ITS HBL (Honey Basil Lemon)
We start with a blonde ale, include some basil and lemon during the
brew, then add some locally sourced honey at the end for a touch of
sweetness. The result is a light and tasty Summer Delight! 5.0% ABV
/ 13 IBU
2) ITS IPA
Our American IPA has a lighter feel than many of the IPAs that
you’ll find these days. It’s a nice golden yellow, light to
moderate bodied beer, with a well-balanced malt backbone. The
American and Australian hops provide a big citrus/grapefruit
character and a high bitterness to satisfy many hop lovers out
there. 6.3% ABV / 70 IBU
Island Hoppin Brewery
Eastsound
1) K-Pod Kolsch
Named after our favorite local family of orca whales, this light,
approachable beer is a regular guest at island weddings and beach
outings. The gentle bitterness of East Kent Goldings hops play well
with the round, bready character of the Pislner and Pale malt. Like
whale watching, it’s a crowd pleaser. Light in body and alcohol, an
ale that drinks like a lager. And for this event it will be poured
through a Randall packed with strawberries! 4.5% ABV / 18 IBU
2) Dockside Black Lager
Very dark and dry- drinks like a light beer with a full dark roasty
flavor and none of the sweetness. 5% ABV / 20 IBU
No-Li Brewhouse
Spokane

an orange peel? You get a craft beer Brass Monkey. Foregoing
artificial syrups, flavors, or additives, this refreshing, citrusy
Summer Seasonal has a robust aroma from Cascade hops. 8% ABV

Wheat, rye and barley lay a base for this multigrain pale, while
dry hopping with Amarillo, citra and comet provides an aromatic
nose. With a slightly sweet, mild malt body, this balanced brew has
a clean, refreshing finish with lingering notes of citrus and
tropical fruit. 4.8% ABV / 25 IBU
Odd Otter Brewing
Tacoma
1) Ottermelon Hefeweizen
This is sunshine in a glass. We use real watermelon chunks to brew
the Ottermelon, and then we mix in an extract from real watermelon.
It is, in a word, addictive. This is all natural, mind-blowing
beer. Get it before it’s gone. 5.1% ABV
2) Strawberry Nom Nom
The strawberries are in your nose, but they don’t kill your mouth.
We use our Blonde Ale as a base, and we toss in some fresh
strawberries as we brew. We then blend in a real strawberry
extract, which allows us to walk that narrow path between just
enough and too much. No greens or seeds here: this is simply
happiness in your hand. 4.9% ABV
3) Ottcho Borracho
This otter’s name is Ottcho, and he/she likes to party. Imagine
being on a beach with an awesome cilantro-lime lager beer; that
beer that you’re thinking of is Ottcho Borracho. This easily
drinkable beer will leave you wanting mas cerveza. Served on a

finish that won’t fill you up. This is the perfect beer for a sunny
and warm Pacific Northwest day. 4.1% ABV / 26 IBU

Orlison’s take on Asian Fusion. Toasted Dragon is the fourth beer
in our small batch series for 2015. This light and crisp beer is
brewed with basil, ginger, lime and Szechuan pepper for a
surprisingly warm tingle. 5% ABV / 29 IBU
Pyramid Breweries
Seattle
1) Apridunkel
Strong and dark version of our GAB Gold Medal Apricot Ale. The
fruit addition was changed to impart a more subtle, dried apricot
aroma and flavor to better compliment the dark malt and overall
assertiveness. Hops are only enough to balance sweetness.” 6.8% ABV
/ 25 IBU
2) Pyramid IPA
A moving medley of hops that harmonizes together. The result is an
IPA bursting with rich citrus hop aromas and a balanced depth of
flavor. Light bodied with a crisp, citrusy bitter finish. Hops used
include Magnum, Calypso, Cascade, El Dorado and Willamette. 6.3%
ABV / 55 IBU
RAM Brewery
Seattle
1) Peach Berliner Weiss
A kettle soured Berliner Weiss with loads of fresh peaches added to
the fermentation! Lightly tart and refreshing! 5.0% ABV
2) Flame Out IPA
Nelson Sauvin and Galaxy hops were added at the end of the boil, or
at “flame out”. No bittering hops were used, giving it a very
fruity flavor/aroma of apricots, peaches, and white wine, but
without the high levels of bitterness usually associated with
IPA’s. 7.2% ABV
Rainy Daze Brewing
Silverdale
1) Sod Slayer ISA
Our session IPA, all the Big Citrus Hop notes and only 4.5%. The
perfect warm weather IPA. We will be pouring this through a Randall
of Citrus fruit. 4.5% ABV / 60 IBU

oranges.
7.5% ABV / 85 IBU
Schooner Exact Brewing
Seattle
1) 3 Grid IPA
A blend of Yakima hops give this northwest-style IPA a big, juicy,
tropical, citrus flavor. The light caramel and soft bready malts
balance but don’t interfere with the big hop character. It finishes
dry leaving you ready for more hoppy goodness. 6.7% ABV / 62
IBU
2) Hopvine IPA
Brewed in a post-modern Northwest IPA fashion, this beer’s
lightly-sweet malt base balances the Chinook & Columbus hops
and huge late additions of Citra hops for flavor and aroma. Full of
flavor, this beer is like drinking straight off the hopvine. 6.1%
ABV / 60 IBU
3) Seamstress Union Raspberry Wheat
Brewed with whole raspberries, this refreshing wheat beer is not
your normal fruit beer. The color of grapefruit juice with a nose
of raspberry, your tongue is greeted by tart raspberry giving way

hops that are boldly citrus, floral and piney. 7.3% ABV
Slaughter County Brewing
Port Orchard
1) Luna Negra, Blackberry Wit
Luna Negra, or “Black Moon,” is a Belgian Style Witbier with a
northwest twist. We’ve replaced the traditional orange and
coriander flavors with fresh blackberries (whole berries in kettle
and fermentor), fresh cracked black pepper, and a hint of star
anise. The result is a refreshingly fruity ale with a peppery bite
and just a touch of lingering blackberry licorice. 6% ABV
2) Rabbit Imperial IPA
Originally from a homebrew recipe gone horribly awesome! It started
as a white IPA, a la Chainbreaker, but add buckets of honey, and a
ton of extra hops (citra, of course), along with mandarine orange
and corriander, and a high gravity yeast to finish it all off, and
we end up with something far from a white IPA. Coming in at about
9% with over 100 IBU, the residual sweetness balances out the
extreme citra hop load creating a wonderfully rich and refreshing
IPA. Rabbit. Because hoppy. 9% ABV / 100 IBU
3) Bondsman’s ESB
A straight up, traditional, open fermented English Style Strong
Bitter. Brewed with floor malted maris otter malt and all english
hops — a true version of the style is such a treat. Malty, fruity,
and hopped with a mouthwatering bitterness that keeps you coming
back for another sip. A great quaffing beer for a night out —
wonderful on draft or cask! 5.8% ABV
4) Big Bottom Barrel Aged Sour Stout
Surprisingly refreshing, light bodied sour black ale. Based on our
Irish Stout, after aging in a spent bourbon barrel, this beer comes
on like a red wine and finishes like an espresso — That might sound
weird, but if you dig aged sours, you’ll love this.”
Slippery Pig Brewing
Poulsbo
1)Brewers’ Choice TBA
Sound Brewery
Poulsbo
1) Bombshell Belgian-Style Blonde Ale
Made with Belgian malts, Trappist yeast and a new German Hop, this
authentic Belgian style “Blonde” ale bears a family resemblance to
our Tripel Entendre, in a lighter, more refreshing ale. The newly
developed “Smaragd” (Emerald) hop brings a classic German aroma hop
to a new level with hints of lime zest and other citrus, and the
classic European malts make for a crisp, yet creamy texture. 7.3%
ABV / 26 IBU
2) Humulo Nimbus Double IPA
A towering thunderstorm of Northwest hops against a sky of clean,
dry malt. Crisp yet eminently satisfying for the extreme hop lover,
Humulo Nimbus has a balance that brings it all together into one
seriously quaffable Double IPA. 8.5% ABV
3) Monk’s Indiscretion Belgian Specialty Ale
Dry hopped, and fermented with an aromatic Belgian yeast strain,
Monk’s Indiscretion has an intense tropical hoppy aroma and flavor,
with balanced bitterness, and is scarily drinkable for such a
strong beer. 10.0% ABV
4)Sound Sommerweizen Clear Unfiltered Wheat Ale
Sound’s Sommerweizen is a classic example of the Kristallweizen
style of the alpine regions of Germany and Austria. Crystal clear

satisfying and full of flavor. 5.0% ABV
Top Rung Brewing
Lacey
1) Lacey Lager with Raspberries thru the Randall

collar beer, the Lacey Lager was designed for those looking for an
easy drinking beer. A great bridge beer. 4.5% ABV / 24 IBU
2) Prying Irons IPA
This IPA is all about balance of malt and hops. Like the irons used
in the fire service( an axe and a Halligan tool) to gain entry to
any door, this IPA is welcome to both IPA fans looking to drink
more than one or new craft beer drinkers looking to venture into
the world and style of IPA’s. An easy bitterness and flavor of
grapefruit and citrus. 6.7% ABV / 60 IBU
Twelve Bar Brews
Woodinville
1) Burning Down the House Imperial India Red Ale
In keeping with our dry beers philosophy, our IIRA is a touch
sweeter than the Wicked Riff IPA but it is very drinkable and has a
more pronounced hop aroma. Bittered with Galena, the bitterness
comes on slowly, allowing time for the malt flavor to present
itself. Aroma hops include Cascade and Centennial for citrus, and
Chinook for a pine woodsy aroma. 8.5% ABV / 100 IBU
A floral hop addition rounds out the aroma pleasantly.
2) Bourbon Supertonic India Black Ale
We started with our Supertonic India Black Ale, with its pleasant
blend of hops and coffee notes, then added Batch #9 bourbon from
Woodinville Whiskey for a surprisingly light yet flavorful brew. 7%
ABV / 70 IBU
3) Wicked Riff IPA
Our flagship beer, brewed on the dry side for drinkability and a
nice balanced hop aroma. Notes of citrus, spice, and florals on a

ABV / 30 IBU

Kicking things off with an effervescent aroma of lemon zest, this
summer session ale is light and crisp, perfect for a summer day.
With hints of grass and lemon on a palate, this well balanced beer
is extremely refreshing, leaving flavors of citrus and grass after
every sip before finishing clean.
3) Evo through a Randall
Evo is a showcase Northwest IPA, hopped with Yakima Valley Simcoe,
Amarillo and Centennial, then aggressively dry-hopped with Simcoe
and Columbus. Deep copper in color, it boasts a deep floral aroma
with strong notes of grapefruit and tangerine citrus on the
palate.
