Carpe Diem Manana l 9.5%

Seize the day....tomorrow. Carpe Diem Mañana is a departure from Apoth's ‘standard’ line of ales that age for over a year in barrels, as this beer is packaged within just a few months of brewing. In attempts to create unique beer influenced by days of yore, they use Mother Nature instead of industrial chemicals. Instead of using hopping for beer preservation, the hops here inhibit bacteria from producing too much acid on a younger beer. This is Apoth's futuristic twist, making beer that honors its natural and creative heritage by avoiding industrial products and techniques.

El Cuatro l 10.8%

El Cuatro is made of barley and caramel malts co-mingling with lactobacillus and brettanomyces. After brewing and conditioning, the beer is transferred into brandy & whiskey barrels to age for over a year during an extended Brettanomyces Lambicus fermentation.

Field Spirits l 9.3%

Dark rye wild ale brewed with honey and aged in Pinot Noir barrels.

La Tache l 7.8%

La Tache spends up to one year in oak barrels during a long, relaxed fermentation prior to a month-long dry-hopping. The sensory experience is lemon citrus & fermented orchard fruit nose over earthy undertones. The palate finishes with soft lactic acid balanced by the malt body.

Sahalie l 9.5%

Sahalie spends over 1 year in oak barrels during a long, relaxed fermentation prior to a month-long dry-hopping. The brew features a tropical & citrus fruit nose of apricots, pineapple, and orange produced from yeast esters and hop oils. The palate is tart and pithy, combining earthy and herbal undertones that evolve as the beer warms & opens up within your glass.

Sahati l 9.3%

SAHATI is an interpretation of traditional Finnish sahti. Starting with a 200-year old Engelmann spruce tree felled on brewery property, The Apoth created our own kuurna (an ancient Scandinavian lauter tun) to separate the wort from the grain during brewing. The bottom of the kuurna is layered with spruce branches; the needles act as a natural filter and impart resinous oils into the wort. The hollowed-out trunk of the tree also contributes spruce essence and structure from the raw wood. The beer is made of barley & rye malts along with a sparing addition of Goschie Farms Cascade hops and is brewed just a few times per year.

Sauvie l 7%

Named after Sauvie Island in the Columbia River and aged in Oregon wine barrels, this brew offers a true experience of the Pacific Northwest. Hand-harvested Crystal Hops from the island give Sauvie deep aromas of dew-tipped trees and fresh earth. Joined with The Ale Apothecary’s house yeast and doses of Mecca Grade Vanora and Rye malts, this brew is both approachable and complex! Peachy tartness rises up with woody spice, backed with whispers of grape tannins. The Pacific Northwest sure tastes exquisite.
