Six Row Turns Four Years Old

Six Row is just about to turn 4 years old! This means we're going to celebrate with a slew of brew.

We first opened up on December 5th, 2009, so we will start our pre-party on Thursday December 5th with one of our most popular cask styles, Bacon Porter! We'll tap this dry hogged lovely at 5pm, and keep it flowing over the course of the weekend until we empty two casks of it. As always, special thanks go to Baumann’s Fine Meats for the bacon in these casks.

On Friday the 6th, we'll be expanding upon our usual TGIPA festivities with all sorts of new IPAs, including:

• Red Snout KSHE IPA spiced with Arbol pepper
• Double IPA spiced with white peppercorn
• Sour IPA fresh-hopped with locally grown galena hops
• Double IPA also fresh-hopped with galena hops

In addition, we'll have our Honey Weizen spiced with cinnamon and our last keg of our famous Killer Whale of the year.

As the party reaches Saturday the 7th, we'll be in the home stout stretch, as a matter of fact, we have so much stout we have to open an hour early at 11am.

Our Saturday Sampler will be all stout, all the time, featuring a vertical tasting of 4 versions of our Russian Imperial Stout:

• The standard
• Knob Creek barrel-aged
• Orange Chocolate, with cocoa nibs furnished by Kakao, 
• Vanilla Maple Coffee  

All 10% abv, 100% delicious, and all pouring starting at 11am!

In addition to all the Imperial Stout, we'll also have some of our Export Stout as well.

To top that off, we will tap a cask of "Cascading Whale" at 5pm.  This is our flagship brew fresh-hopped with more locally grown Cascade hops.

Don’t think we forgot about an Anniversary Ale either. For our 4th year we are pleased to present the first offering in our Arch Nemesis Series: Midnight, which is an Imperial Black India Pale Ale. This dark and devouring ale will knock your socks off, and still keep you warm at 9% abv and 80 IBU’s. Deep rich colors compliment the Chinook and Cascade hops which will satisfy your every hoppy desire in a full bodied, potent reminder of the Pacific Northwest while saving on the airfare.

We are partying for three days on our fourth anniversary, come down and share our fun!

Semi-New Style Release: Vanilla Porter

Remember when you tasted the Vanilla Porter from one of our cask nights and wished that it was available more often? Well, you're in luck.

Or remember when you would get to Six Row to try the Vanilla Porter cask that everyone on Twitter was raving about, but you found it was gone already and you wished we had more of it? You are also in luck.

Or remember when you tasted the Vanilla Porter and you thought it was just OK, but you really preferred to go with a Double IPA or a Whale? Well, then this doesn't matter that much to you, but the good news is that we still have lots of DIPA and Whale for you!

We can't make EVERYONE happy with a single style release, but we think the large batch of our Vanilla Porter will please a lot of you, so that's exactly what we will be doing on Thursday, November 10th at 4pm.

After much success with adding vanilla beans to casks of our original Porter, we've produced a full tank of this wonderful beer. It's the Porter you already know and love, with a healthy dose of whole vanilla beans added to the fermenter. It's as simple and delicious as that, and starts pouring at 4PM.

This is just one of a number of releases we have coming up soon, so stay tuned here (or our Facebook page or on Twitter or on our homepage). Cheers!
