Green’s Quest Tripel Ale

From the Brewer – The History of Quest Tripel Ale - “Tripel” is a style that was originated by Westmalle Trappist Brewery in the 1930s, when they began to sell Westmalle Trappist Tripel.  Rich and full-flavored, tripels are satisfying beers beloved by beer aficionados.  Many breweries now produce a tripel, but a tripel made without barley is a particular accomplishment.

Taste – Fairly light body for beer of this strength; spice and herb nose with flavors of candied fruit. Aromatic, long finish.”

Best served with steamed asparagus, artichoke, squash, or other full-flavored, rich vegetables. Excellent with beef dishes or with wild game.

The rye also adds a reddish hue to the beer. The kettle additions of Centennial, Apollo, and Chinook, and the dry hop addition of Falconer’s Flight add a multidimensional hop character.”

Great with Pepper cheese, pork, curry dishes.

Anchor Brewing Brekle’s Brown

From the Brewer – Inspired by the all-malt brown ales in Anchor’s brewing archives, Brekle’s™ Brown has a coppery brown color and unusual depth of flavor with hints of citrus which makes for richness and complexity without heaviness. The classic, all-malt, single-hop brown ale.

Brewmaster Mark Carpenter’s unique recipe—a tip of the hat to our first brewmaster—looks to both the past and the future. It starts with a special blend of roasted malts.

For brewing and dry hopping, a single and distinctive new American hop variety called Citra creates nuanced flavors and aromas complementing Brekle’s™ Brown’s unique maltiness.

Anchor Brewing’s roots date back to the early 1850s and the California gold rush, when pioneer brewer Gottlieb Brekle arrived in San Francisco from Germany. In 1871, he purchased an old beer-and-billiards saloon near Russian Hill and transformed it into the little brewery that—twenty-five years later—would be renamed Anchor. Brekle’s™ Brown is a celebration of Anchor’s 140-year brewing legacy.”

Hops: Citra
Malts: Blend of 2-Row Pale, Munich & Caramel
Alcohol by volume: 6%
Format: 6 Packs

Long Trail Triple Bag Ale

This brew is naturally carbonated and is an example of brewing purity that is rarely experienced by those other than brewers themselves.”

Style History: Strong Ales are cousins to Altbiers, both of which trace their origins back to Düsseldorf, Germany.

Great with german foods including smoked meats, pork, sausage and grilled meats.

Hops: Nugget & Mt. Hood
