Anacortes Brewery

The Anacortes Brewery was established in 1994 and is the 8th oldest continuously operating brewery in the state of Washington. They brew over thirty styles annually, and after all these years in the business, they take pride in still being an innovator.  Their brewers focus on high quality ingredients, a carefully controlled process and delicate handling to provide one of the best beers you will find in the industry.

The Anacortes Brewery operates a seven barrel brewery designed and installed by Sound Brewing Systems of Seattle with vessels fabricated by Ripley Stainless in British Columbia.

Original IPA (ABV 6.7% / IBU 80)  Our classic northwest style IPA has a good hop character supported with a sturdy backbone. Columbus, Cascade & Simcoe are dry-hopped in the fermenter producing moderate citrus and stone fruit aroma yielding to bold, prolonged hop flavor and bitterness.
