Seasonal Brews

Silva

 

Silva Brewing

Let's face it, the holidays tend to get a little... nutty. This holiday season, embrace the chaos with an ice-cold glass of the "Nut Farm" in hand. One of Silva's most recent seasonal releases, the Nut Farm is a Nitro Walnut Milk Stout sure to be the best nutty addition to your holiday. Follow up with a taste of their Rhinestone Red and you're sure to feel extra jolly. Rhinestone Red is perfect for shorter days and cooler weather with rich malts laced with Nugget and Amarillo hops. We hear it's the beer of choice for the man in the red suit. Stay tuned for the S-Shot, a smoked porter using locally smoked malts alongside German smoked malt, and the Yakima Express (Imperial IPA) - 5th Anniversary Version — scheduled for release as an early Christmas gift for beer lovers. 

 

Kilo Kilo Brewing Co.

After 18 months of resting in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, Kilo Kilo's Pastry Stout is ready for release, right in time for the holidays. This special stout has all the rich flavors of a buttery pastry with hints of Hawaiian macadamia nuts, pecans, tropical bananas, coconut, and vanilla. Planned for release at the KiloFest on November 21 — get your tickets now and be the first to sample this delectable treat as well as 8 other featured breweries, live music and food.
