The tap list, updated Sep 16 and powered by Untappd, is organized into Lagers & Pilsners, Light Ales, Dark Ales, Hazy IPA, IPA, Rotating, and Cider, with 18 numbered items spanning lager, wheat beer, pale ale, amber ale, stout, IPA, sour, and cider. Beer pours are $7 / $6, cider $7 / $8. Wine is included in the program, and non-alcoholic beverages are available.
- What should I order?
- Start with Field 41 Pale Ale from Bale Breaker or Douglas Lager from Douglas Lagered Beer in Tacoma. For a darker turn, Snake Eye Stout from Ten Pin Brewing in Moses Lake. Cider drinkers can choose Huckleberry Ginger Cider from Bend Cider Co. Or Chaider from Schilling Cider in Seattle.
