7 SEAS BREWING UPDATES

4th Year Anniversary Bash, New Brews, & Summertime!

Summer in the NW reminds us that life is continuously in motion, a revolving cycle of extinguishing what has decayed and welcoming what will emerge, grow, evolve and flourish.

This very notion, is perhaps more applicable to 7 Seas Brewing right now more so than ever.  Especially over this past year, we have been in a constant mode of movement and in our eyes, progress.  It has been delightful to see happy friends and customers reveling amongst pints in the new Tap Room, producing more beer at a higher level of quality and consistency than ever, and hopefully enhancing our beautiful community of Gig Harbor in small, but meaningful ways.  So, thank you to everyone that has joined us and been a part of this ongoing journey.  We don’t have a final destination in mind, so let’s just enjoy the ride, handle the rough seas with composure, and hope for smooth sailing along the 7 Seas.

Time can fly (or sail...ha) by fast! Hard to imagine it’s been four years since that first batch of Cutt’s NW  Amber rolled out to the Tides Tavern for release. That was July 9^th, 2009 and 4 years later, it's time to party and say thanks! Thank you for supporting us in this crazy journey, for embracing our vision and amazing staff, and for enjoying our tasty brews time and time again! To say thanks, we’d like to throw a party in YOUR honor. Come help us celebrate our first summer downtown!

7 Seas 4^th Year Anniversary Bash

Join us on Saturday, July 27^th from 12noon-8pm out front of our Tap Room downtown. We will be showcasing 5 local bands, local food vendors, a few antics, and a large variety of ice cold 7 Seas brews.  On the stage we'll have Perry Acker, Ben Union, Kim Archer, SweetKiss Momma, and Red Stone Sinners. The party is a +21 event. The cost of such an amazing day? $3 per person which 100% goes to the bands. Credit/debit cards will only be accepted for merchandise purchases, so cover, beer, and food will be on a cash basis. There will be an ATM on-site. The Tap Room will not be open on Saturday at all. Also, there will be NO growler fills that Saturday, so stock up prior. Walk, bike, designate a driver, just be sure to be safe!

Hope you can join us!

As the weather has improved and we thirst for both the warmth of sunshine on our face and of course that Proper Pint of 7 Seas Ale, we have recently opened our Tap Room's outdoor beer garden.  Who doesn’t enjoy a cool, refreshing pint while enjoying our brief yet beautiful NW Summer?  We have been rolling up the garage door that leads into the Tap Room for some fresh air, a pleasant breeze, and JENGA. 10 different 7 Seas brews on tap, including some only available in the Tap Room. Summertime also means a new Seasonal beer, our 1st barrel-aged project, and we have been thinking about this one for a while!

NEW SEASONAL BEER RELEASE:

Life Jacket Summer Ale

Brewed for the warm, stunning, long days of Summer in the Pacific NW, Life Jacket Summer Ale will refresh and quench your thirst like no other. Concocted with both domestic and German Pilsner malts, producing a light golden hue and providing a crisp, clean and dry malt base for the Yakima Valley grown Amarillo and Mosaic hops to emerge from. Abundant late hop additions in the kettle and whirlpool contribute powerful hop notes of citrus and berries in the flavor and aroma, while bitterness remains muted. Whether your mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, hiking the mountains, kayaking the coast, or enjoying the beaches, always be safe and bring a Life Jacket!

Availability: Summer Seasonal, JUNE-AUGUST

ABV: 4.2%         IBU: ~38

1st BARREL AGED PROJECT:

Bourbon Barrel-Aged Port Royal Export Stout

The beer shares many of the same qualities of Port Royal Stout offers. However, after the extended aging time and the prolonged contact with the oak Maker's Mark bourbon barrel, this version weaves a velvety mouthfeel with flavors of vanilla, bourbon, finishing a complex creation.

Served in a 10oz snifter, no growler fills.

Availability: LIMITED

ABV: 7.2%       IBU: ~40

Perhaps if you’ve visited the Tap Room recently, you’ve noticed the various pieces of art on display.  We enjoy featuring local artists’ work and will rotate it every couple months.  Our current artist is Devin Reynolds, an Tacoma based artist utilizing metal as his canvas. Devin unleashes chemical reactions and oxidation to his  unique paintings as they unfold and develop into their final form. They truly are engaging and captivating pieces that are well worth viewing and contemplating.  Please check them out, we’re thrilled to have them on display.

We are extremely fortunate to have had all of the amazing support from the local community here in Gig Harbor and throughout Washington! Thank you again to all of our customers, friends, wholesale clients, family members, and any individual who has supported 7 Seas Brewing in any capacity whatsoever.  We are continuing to learn, grow, and improve upon what we’ve started.  We hope you enjoy the results!

Cheers,

The 7 Seas Crew
