2014 Belgianfest Beer List
7 Seas Brewing
Gig Harbor
1) Noonday Demon Dubbel Ale
Named in reference to the crucial monastic tribulation of monotony. The demon embodies the concept of cutting corners and avoiding meticulousness. Monks were encouraged to court the Noonday Demon rather than ignore it – believing such would strengthen their person. Within this complex beer we utilized Golden Promise, Special B, Kilned Amber, and a sprinkling of Chocolate malts to impart toasty sweet flavors topped with fruit. This demon was nobly hopped lending it a subtle earthy character. IBU 25/ABV 7%
2) 7 Seas Belgian Wit
Brewed with 30% malted White Wheat, this traditional Belgian style Wit is dry and refreshing with hints of clove, orange peel, subtle coriander and bready notes.

4) Corvus Kriekus
This could be considered our first truly soured fruit beer. We added season peak Washington sourced cherries in two varietals, Chelans and Titans, to barrel aging scotch ale. The cherries were intentionally field direct and added not only fermentables, cherry tannin and color to the beer but also provided the necessary micro-flora to sour the beer. We then blended various barrels to yield a balanced, quaffable, complex and fruity Black Raven first. ABV 9.6%
Boundary Bay Brewery
Bellingham
1) Not Shawn’s Saison
In the style of a traditional Belgian, Farmhouse Saison, “Not Shawn’s Saison” is a balanced, dry, crisp, and memorable beer. At 6% ABV, it is a truly sessionable ale, and is the third release in the Galbraith Mountain Series. It is brite as crystal and a mellow, golden-orange color and is never filtered. We gave this brew a little extra time and cellar-love to allow for the lemon, bubblegum, and melon aromas and superbly balanced, continental malt characters to fully develop. Styrian Golding noble hops harmonize incredibly well with the biscuit and grain flavors from pilsner malt. With a slight tang and just a touch of spicy rye malt and lemony citrus notes from New Zealand Pacific Gem Hops, this beer is complex, smooth, and refreshing – and leaves you wanting another! Let it warm a little in the glass to release even more of Not Shawn’s special aromas and flavors. You’d never know you aren’t in Brussels… “Sante!” ABV 6%
