On Tap

1. What A Peach
  • 1188

A twist on the popular Gose Girl, we’ve added fresh picked, locally grown, peaches Kimbrely Orchards. This slightly sour, crisp peachy gose is perfectly balanced with soft mouthfeel and dry finish, with subtle tones of Himalayan Sea salt and fresh ground coriander, an absolute must for the hot early harvest season.

2. 1188 Hefe
  • 1188

Our take on this popular German beer. It's a favorite among regulars and visitors alike.

3. Stingy Jack
  • 1188
4. Kindergarten Cop
  • 1188

“You know, kindergarten is like the ocean. You Don’t want to turn your back on it.”
The kindergarten AVB will have you thinking “I'm not a policeman, i'm a princess” But the flavor is going to surprise you. Just like those out of hand kids. You definitely don't want to turn your back on this beer. This German black lager is light on malt, roast, and hops, but comes together to be well balanced flavorful beer.
This kindergarten level beer definitely has a PHD.

5. Cold Ember
  • 1188
6. Bumble Hunter
  • 1188

A cold IPA with notes of douglas fir, blueberry muffins, and strawberries.

An American Cream Ale that is mild, pale and light bodied. Perfect for someone new to craft beer.

9. Baked Apple
  • d's Wicked

Our go-to cider from Kennewick, WA. Off-dry with a hint of spice, Baked Apple hosts the flavors of Red Delicious and Honey Crisp apples, finishing with a perfect touch of cinnamon.

10. Chardonnay
  • Coopers Hall

Some of our favorite Chardonnays come out the Macoonais in southern Burgundy with their pure, unfettered expression of the grape. They can be straight forward while retaining a sort of simple elegance, a quiet energy that can surprise you.

11. Cranberry Blood Orange
  • Ablis

Our Strawberry Mojito CBD beverage is the kind of drink that’ll conjure tropical beach vibes. And while we admit we tend to enjoy this one floating along the Deschutes River or feet-up in our backyards, we still get vacation vibes with every minty-sweet sip. Results are in: Ablis Strawberry Mojito is the perfect midweek pick-me-up. (Alcohol not included)

12. Caramel Apple
  • Ciderboys

Cin Dyspencer
  • 1188

Brewed for The Gnome’s wife’s 50th birthday this take on a kolsch ale has the flavor of an ale with the crisp finish of a lager. It balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of hops.

Black Oak Instigator
  • 1188

A dark, creamy stout with chocolate and coffee undertones with just the right amount of sweetness. A surprisingly easy drinking beer, but beware, with its 8+% ABV, it is not a session beer, Try one (or two) and see what it instigates for you!

Cranberry Blood Orange
  • Ablis

Straight-up blood orange doesn’t quite cut it? Well, we took it one step further. This Cranberry Blood Orange sparkling beverage is the perfect blend of bold and classic flavors (and our most popular infusion). If you like to chase sunsets up mountain summits or kayak by moonlight, this adventurous flavor is for you.

D.B. Cooper
  • 1188

A summertime favorite, this Double Berry Hefeweizen, with its rich ruby color, will make you feel like you got away with a hidden treasure. This is a light, crisp, fruity beer, without being too sweet or losing the Hefeweizen spiciness. Don’t forget your parachute!

Initial malty and light caramel flavor profile with a distinctive dry-roasted bitterness in the finish.

Hey Bub
