Beyond the Firs
Beyond the Firs is the brewery's core West Coast pale ale and its best-known gluten-free beer. Extra pale malt and oats keep the malt profile lean. Citra and Centennial go into the whirlpool; the dry hop adds Idaho 7 and Simcoe. The brewery names bright tangerine and grapefruit aromas with a subtle piney bitterness. The hop bill has changed several times since the first brew in 2018, the citrus-and-pine direction has not.
