TangleTown TATTLER [October 2019]
FRESH HOP BEERS HAVE ARRIVED
Fresh Hop Beer:
Fresh Hop or Wet Hop beers are beers brewed with hops that have not been kiln dried. Brewers try to use these hops as soon as logistically possible from when they were harvested. This time period especially with the Pacific Northwest’s proximity to hop fields (Yakima and elsewhere) is literally within hours of having been picked from the field, fresh hops are very delicate and should be used within 24 hours of harvest. As these beers are timed to the hop harvest they tend to be made with a single variety of hop as the ripeness for harvest for all the varieties tends to be over a period of months.
Fresh Hop beers are a challenge for brewers as the hops are less concentrated it takes much more of them to get the characteristics brewers are looking for. Also, harvest time is not set to a particular date, the hops are ready when they are fully ripe, so brewers adjust all their brew schedules around these pick dates. Many of the local brewers drive early in the morning to Eastern Washington to brew a beer that afternoon in Seattle. Fresh Hop beers provide unique flavors not found in other beers.; grassy, green plant flavors without the bitterness that most hops are known for are some of the characteristics you might find. These beer also have somewhat shorter shelf life. Its not that the beers over time are “bad” it is just the delicate flavors of the freshly used hops dissipates rather quickly (30-45 days). It is a great time to celebrate the season with beers produced just-in-time for us the beer consumer.
We will have fresh hop beers from Pfriem, Old Stove, Reubens, Fremont, 10 Barrel, Georgetown, Elysian, Bale Breaker and Barrel Mountain grace our taps this month with more potentially to follow.

Beer of the Moment - Reubens

Our Food
Our goal is to bridge the world. Bringing you scratch cooking at an affordable price. All of our stocks, sauces, dressings and sides are made inhouse. Not interested in Heinz ketchup (which we serve free of charge) try our house spicy tomato jam. Or order the kalamata aioli as a side for your sandwich. We realize that not everyone eats bread, our accessories menu allows you to pick a selection of proteins to add to your salad. Favorites so far are the Fish & Chips, Fried Cauliflower, T Town Burger, Pork n Clün, Seafood Stew and Pastrami Reuben.
TangleTown Brunch
We have been rocking a full brunch menu since mid July and if you haven’t tried it yet then you’ve been missing out. The ancho-hollandaise on our eggs benedict is great with a bloody mary or a craft beer.
Our house-cured corned beef hash is stellar and the Pork and Clun with an egg on it while a little bit messy is amazing. Come by one of these late summer and early fall weekends.
