A rich breakfast stout with complementing notes of chocolate, fire roasted oak, Brazil Porta Rosa and Sumatra Coffee is sure to wake you up and get you going. With just a little caffeine kick. Its surprisingly light mouthfulness will have you enjoying every sip.

6. There Was A Time
  • 1188
  • Light Golden Ale
  • 4.5%

There Was A Time when these twins were sweet and innocent, but now they run with a rough crowd. Complex and well educated with a sailors vocabulary. But you can probably catch them listening to some Guns and Roses… Maybe, or maybe they just really needed a great beer to pair nicely with some tots tossed in truffle oil. If you know, you know. ( this beer is for a couple of regular gals, and their truffle tots…if you know you know)

7. Whackadoodle
  • 1188
  • IPA
  • 6.8%

This beer will change every time we make it. It is brewed on top of an existing double dry hopped IPA batch to utilize as much of our yeast and wonderful hops as possible. This will be a forever changing and thoughtfully blended Pale Ale. it's a little wacky, but it works!

8. Tattiebogle
  • 1188
  • Smoked Wee Heavy
  • 9.2%

Molasses and beechwood smoked grain add unique flavor to this Scottish Wee Heavy brew. Blends of roasted caramel and toffee flavors give this beer a rich complex but pleasing flavor that will surprise but don't let 8.9% scare you off.

9. Baked Apple
  • d's Wicked
  • d's Wicked Cider
  • 6.5%

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
  • Coopers Hall Wine

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. Strawberry Mojito
  • Ablis
  • Ablis -N/A CBD

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. Light Cider-Apple
  • Seattle Cider Co.
  • Seattle Cider Company
  • 4.2%

Crisp, refreshing, and satisfying, Light Cider is the modern definition of drinkability. At 98 calories and 4.2% ABV, Light Cider packs an exhilarating apple flavor in every 12 oz can. Uncompromising on quality, unparalleled in taste, Light Cider was crafted from our favorite ingredient, fresh pressed Washington apples! All that flavor, from whole apples? Crazy, we know.
