As we head into fall, Vashon Brewing is going to be offering more seasonal beers than we have in the past. We've added another fermenter, which has expanded our weekly capacity by 50%. Our goal - use the extra capacity to brew more seasonal beer styles.
We've just released our Oktoberfest this past week, a tasty amber ale with a complex, toasty malt character that's getting great feedback from our customers. Another first for us is a fresh hop beer brewed with Cascade hops we grow at the brewery. The flavor and aroma is fabulous. Both are recipes we plan to keep.
Later this fall, look for our "Day of the Dead Chili Red", a moderately spicy chili beer, and an Imperial Stout brewed with an elderberry syrup that Cliff created just for this recipe.
