    For those of you who remember our long lost thread, this beer was formerly known as BDMB#1. Thanks Fremont!

    LIKE even more. I don't see an official name associated with this beer. Is it going to be called Organic Pale Ale, or do we know if there's another name in the works? I believe a few folks were lobbying for Haiku, but that seems unlikely...

    I'm going to buy six-packs of this. Many six-packs, I imagine.

    Is this a small batch just for the event, or will get the same distro as their other seasonals? If so, SOMEONES WIFE may be putting a couple cans in the mail!

    I'm not sure, but I seem to remember the other SBW brews just being called SBW___.

    What about Split Shot? SBW Split Shot. SBW Haiku?

    Maritime's SBW beer had a name, too. Decompression.

    All simcoe and citra pale ale in cans? I'm in for at least a case. Oh and that Decompression ale was shit. Can we just have Fremont brew the SBW beer each year?

    Speaking of a local collaboration I'd really like to see...

    Thanks for the comments. Haiku beer name? Sadly, only on our much maligned thread.

    Organic pale ale
    Epic Beer Week
    Need more beer?
    Find it here.

    We will can 3000+ cases and distribute state wide (if the plan works). And then? Well, this is also the Cowiche Hop Lab #2 beer we were going to release anyway. This amazing honor came our way and voila, SBW #5 beer. We want to feature the organic hop farmers in WA and show that OG beer can be tasty. Hopefully, Cowiche SBW #5 makes that point...now to craft the recipe....Stay tuned for a super secret release of a sister beer for SBW to be released at the brewery on opening night (May 9th) and very limited...ahem, I mean rare. Hopefully, we will get a good review by our favorite beer expert...if we are good enough. And stop hitting the pipe, fresh pow, salmon runs, etc and just focus on quality and pride in craft for once...cough.

    As for Elysian...what can you say? They are amazing. We would love to work with the artists over there and are close to those guys. Someday, hopefully. Tangletown Tango?

    Looks like this one is starting to show up around Seattle. Really been looking forward to grabbing a few cans.

    What's a bust? SDW5? I picked up a clip last night and I think it is awesome IMO

    If I'm hoping for a local version of Zombie Dust (approximately) will I be disappointed?

    I hope not, draheim. However, don't look for us to ever do a beer based on another brewery's beer. We go our own way. That said, I think you'll be pleased. At 4.5%, SBW Pale is a session beer with a balanced hop profile provided by the Citra/Simcoe.
