Maritime Pacific Is All Treats and No Tricks As It Releases Harvest XPA on Halloween

October 24, 2011– Maritime Pacific Brewing Company is releasing its latest special offering, Harvest XPA, on Halloween night

ANNOUNCEMENT

Seattle, WA – Maritime Pacific is celebrating All Hallow’s Eve by treating everyone with the release of their latest special offering, Harvest XPA, in the Jolly Roger Taproom on Halloween night. The special Harvest Pale Ale will be available in draught on November 2^nd at select pubs, taverns, and alehouses throughout Seattle and Tacoma.

Harvest XPA exudes freshness! It is brewed with 100 pounds of freshly harvested Amarillo hops from the Gamache Farms, as well as the finest Organic malts the Northwest has to offer. The carefully selected malts give the Harvest XPA a light amber hue as well as subtle caramel notes while the Amarillo packs the palette with loads of citrus flavor. At 5.5% ABV and 45 IBU, it is the perfect session ale for hop heads as well as people seeking ales made with local, fresh ingredients.

A crowd favorite, this is the first time the Harvest XPA has been brewed in 3 years.  It is also the first time that it has brewed with all Organic Malts from Great Western Malting in Vancouver, WA.  Head Brewer, Corey Blodgett, believes, “If you are going to brew a true harvest ale, you should at least use Organic ingredients when at all possible.”  The beer release will take place on October 31, 2011, in the Jolly Roger Taproom starting at 5 pm with the tapping of the inaugural firkin.  Come and join the celebration.

Maritime Pacific and The Jolly Roger Taproom, located near Historic Ballard, is a small, family-owned brewery featuring hearty fare as well as world-class ales and lagers. The 40 barrel brewhouse produces over 6,600 barrels per year for its taproom and for distribution throughout the Puget Sound and the Spokane area.

The Jolly Roger Taproom features eleven (11) different Maritime beers at all times with two (2) cask conditioned ales on the beer engines.  Happy Hour runs from 3 to 6 pm daily, with a great menu of food and $3 pints.  The Taproom is located at 1111 NW Ballard Way, is kid friendly, and its hours are: Monday through Wednesday from 11:00 to 10:00; Thursday from 11:00 to 11:00; Friday and Saturday from 11:00 to Midnight; and Sunday from Noon to 9.

Clipper Gold Hefeweizen is Back!

Clipper Gold Hefeweizen is back for the season. Rolled into our Seasonal Program last year to help in our production of Jolly Roger, Clipper Gold will be around until the end of August. This American style  hefe is perfect for those hot summer days ( if they ever get here in the Northwest ) with a slice of lemon ( or not ) or even a slice of orange if you're so inclined. Now on Draft in the Taproom. Come by and try it. Happy Summer!

New Special Slider at the Jolly!!

The Jolly just changed it's Special Slider this week. Now available and being heartily received is our own creation on the classic bacon cheese burger. It's gooey, messy and prefect for this time of year. Come by and try it.

                          " Double Smoked Bacon-Cheese Burger Slider"

Flame broiled ground beef and bacon patty topped with smoked cheddar cheese and sliced pepper bacon. Served on our custom bun with a shallot/onion aioli, fresh arugula and a sweet pickle and cucumber relish.

"YUM!"

NEW SUMMMER SEASONAL Tapped Today!!!!

Our new summer seasonal "OATMEAL PALE ALE" is now on tap in the Jolly Roger. No, oatmeal is not just for breakfast any more, or stouts. This small single batch of beer is unique and tasty.  We've blended 15% of natural rolled oats into our two-row barley giving this beer a smoothness and flavor profile uncommon for a light summer ale. Hopped with all Amarillo hop also gives this beer a citrus and floral finish. Available now in our taproom and soon in local alehouses.   

CHEERS!

" MINOR " Changes here at the Jolly!!

Yes, minor changes have happened here at the Jolly Roger. As of Friday June 17, 2011 the Jolly Roger went to opening it's doors to ALL AGES with currently the only restriction being that there can be NO MINORS at the bar.

Feelings have been mixed but the consensus is that it's a good thing with some commenting that "It's about time".  The Jolly will still be the Jolly but now we really have Lil Jolly's!!!!
