Smoked NorthPorter Flume Creek IPA Honey-Basil Ale
With our incredibly small brewing system available beers change quickly. We apologize if you see a beer on this website that is not available when you walk in. I can promise that there is always a good selection of perfectly quaffable beers on hand. Come check it out.
We also offer any beer on tap for to-go in half gallon growlers, 22 oz bottles or any container you bring (so long as I know the volume).
The oldest sure records of brewing date back around 6,000 years ago to ancient Sumeria, most of which is now known as “The Cradle of Civilization” and sometimes, “Iraq”. No one knows exactly how it happened of course, but probably some bread or grain got wet, some yeast, and undoubtedly an Irishman, got into the mix somehow, and civilization (at least as we understand it here at Northern Ales) was born.
4000 years ago or so, in the same area, a piece called “Hymn to Ninkasi” was composed and committed to a seal. Ninkasi was the goddess of brewing at the time (the present goddess of brewing is my wife Andrea) and the hymn not only sang the praises of this divine art of brewing, but was illustrated with pictures of bread and barley. The “Hymn” states that this drink had made people feel "exhilarated, wonderful and blissful", so it must have resembled my S moked NorthPorter. (see below)
Afterwards, not much exciting happened in the history of brewing until the summer of 2007, when Northern Ales opened in Northport, Washington. It is said that all true ale lovers must, if they can, make a pilgrimage to Northern Ales once in their lives if they wish to experience paradise. I suggest you try a Thursday evening and take in some of the local bull while we shoot pool.
