Every ingredient in Lager 180 is sourced from within 180 miles of the brewery. Fritz Pilsner malt from Skagit Valley malting lends delicate notes of Ritz cracker and clover honey. Sterling hops from Yakima provide just enough bitterness to balance the malt. And yeast grown in house bring it all together. So sit back and enjoy the sunshine while putting back a true taste of the Northwest.

Peanut Butter Porter: ABV 6.3%, IBUs 30, always a fan favorite, the Peanut Butter Porter is a beer that is light in body but strong on flavor.
