Chuckanut Brewery currently offers the following beers on tap:

Golden, medium body, malty, bready, restrained bitterness

Munich’s response to the foreign pilsner was the “Helles”. Less hop flavor and bitterness than Pilsner, the main highlight of Helles is its bready, malty character. It’s malty, balanced, easy-drinking character has earned it the title of “liquid bread”, and it is often served for breakfast in Germany.

FOOD PAIRING // Helles goes very well with grilled sandwiches. Helles has a good relationship with shellfish, try it with our Shellfish Bowl. The sweetness of roast chicken, turkey and pork and the maltiness of this beer goes hand in hand while the carbonation and hop bitterness cuts through everything else.

Amber color, round malty, caramelized, juicy, medium body

Before mechanical refrigeration made year round brewing possible, stronger beer was made in the early spring. The beer was then laid down in ice caves until the harvest festivals. Our Marzen has a balance between a bread like, malty, juicy sweetness and a firm bitterness that makes it traditional and tantalizing! Its smoothness is created by an extra long cold conditioning of 2-6 months.

FOOD PAIRING // Broiled and Roasted steaks and pork are great with Marzen. Roasted Yam Fries and Chili go great with the caramel sweetness of this medium bodied beer. Pair it with our Mac and Cheese or Creamy Pasta Specials for a great complete meal.

Golden, dry, sharply bitter, noble, flowery, effervescent

Pilsner, the world’s most popular style of beer, was invented in Czech Bohemia, perfected in Germany, and turned into flavorless mass-market fizz in America. While most people think Pilsner came from Germany, its origins actually come from Bohemia. In 1842, a Bavarian monk smuggled lager yeast from Munich to the Bohemian town of Pilsen where they used the yeast with British pale malt, crafting a beer golden in color. Later in Munich the beer was made with local Saaz hops giving it a flowery aroma. Genuine pilsner is truly mouthwatering, deeply satisfying, and refreshing! This is Chuckanut’s Silver Medal Winner from the GABF.

FOOD PAIRING // Pilsner’s bitterness cuts through spices. The malt marries into the dish, while cooling the fire of Thai and Mexican dishes. True Pilsner likes crab, clams, shrimp, and oysters.

Gentle, slightly fruity, complex undertones of malt, refreshing

Kolsch beer is made exclusively in the city of Cologne, Germany. Kolsch is a blonde, top fermented ale brewed from pilsner malt. Bitterness is restrained, and the palate is light-bodied and dry with a soft malt flavor in the center giving way to a dry finish.

FOOD PAIRING // Kolsch is terrific with salads, cheese ¬(goat cheese pie), and delicate dishes. A great paring for shellfish or fish the light fruity flavors of the beer work well with citrus based preparations. Kolsch is a team player with sandwiches and wraps.

Zesty hop snappiness, full malt, assertive, brown colored

In the mid 1800’s in Dusseldorf the tradition of Alt Bier got started. Alt “old” is the similar to ales found in Belgium and England, but with a German personality. The Alt Bier is brown with a firm tan head, its aromatics are faintly fruity, full in body and shows a snappy hoppiness. Our Alt is fermented warm but matured at cold temperatures producing a beer smooth but with distinct hop flavor.

FOOD PAIRING // The combination of hop bitterness, full malt flavor, and restrained fruitiness makes Alt Bier wonderful with roasted meats. The hops gives the beer the cutting power to handle heavy sauces give it a try with our BBQ Chicken or Pepperoni Pizza, it’s superb.

Dark, strong, malty, toffeeish, full bodied, restrained bitterness

In 1612 Munich brewers made Bock and the public instantly fell in love with the beer. Bock Beers are strong and malty, with a smoothness developed over months of cold aging. Chuckanut uses twice the amount of malt in our bock then any of our other beers and the long aging time delivers an alcohol strength of over 7 percent.

FOOD PAIRING // Our Chicken Satay will find Bock Beer an elegant accompaniment. Roasted Pork Chops, Ribs, and other Pork dishes are an absolutely spectacular match. Do not forget about dessert, Chuckanut Strong Bock can be a great combination with any of our desserts.
