Sunshine in a Pacific Northwest winter? That’s a rare pour. ☀️🌲

We’re raising a glass to those crisp, golden rays with Ferment Brewing Company’s **Wild & Free We Roam Golden Ale**—bright, refreshing, and brewed in partnership with the Oregon Wildlife Foundation to support the wild places that make this corner of the world so magical. Every sip celebrates open skies, roaming elk, rushing rivers, and the delicate balance of ecology that keeps it all thriving.

And when the sun dips early (because… winter), there’s the smooth, cascading comfort of their **Nitro Dry Stout**—velvety, rich, and perfectly suited for cozying up after a day spent soaking in that rare bluebird sky.

Here’s to protecting what’s wild, savoring what’s local, and never taking a sunny PNW winter day for granted. 🍺✨

Out of the can, Wild & Free ... produces a strong amount of off-white head, resting on a pool of clear gold. Receding, there remain constellations of lacing inside the glass, above the surface.
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of perfume akin to wilderness floral, stone fruit, melon, and some sweet honey.
Sipping, we recover subtle notes of sulfur, orange and tropical citrus, some resiny pine, and stone fruit. Overall, Wild & Free ... has a mild to medium mouthfeel, some alcoholic warmth, and a lingering medium bitterness

Out of the can, Nitro Dry Stout produces a mosh pit of mocha-white head, resting on a clear pool that is dark in the comfort of your hand, but appears the darkest of burgundy in the light.
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of dried grape (yeah, raisin), some coffee, toffee, and roasted grains.
Sipping, much of the aroma is in the sip. Overall, Nitro Dry Stout has a mild mouthfeel, some alcoholic warmth, and a bitter finish.

Reel it in, laughbags! No one thinks this is funny, and I bet that includes you. It's dumb.

Urban South "Who Dat" Golden Ale

What? Okay, the "99% HUMIDITY" I'm sure is some kind of in-joke for the brewery. Is it funny? Well, maybe. I mean, it's no...

I would call this pale yellow. I might go so far as to call this very pale yellow. I might be convinced that this is a light beer. I may even accept the idea that this is a macro-brewery light lager

A new KBS from #foundersBrewing? Don’t mind if I do!

Iced Latte KBS is bourbon-barrel aged golden ale, a creamy body, coffee and vanilla with an oaky bourbon finish and a hint of spice.

Really enjoy #sullivansBrewing #stout so figured it was time to try the lighter side.

Irish Gold Golden Ale is nicely mild and malty with hints of honey and caramel. Fabulous!

Well, it is supposed to be a golden ale, but this is a very copper color. Honestly, it's more like tarnished copper. There's no head, despite the dumping of the beer into the glass

First sip is actually pretty awesome. The bitter twist at the end adds a cap to the sweet and rich center of the beer, but the layered and subtle spices are adding an unexpected and fantastic flair.
