5 Local Beers For 5 Local Weed Strains: A Tasting Pairing Mini-Guide

5 Local Beers For 5 Local Weed Strains: A Tasting Pairing Mini-Guide

If you are like me, then you prefer to enjoy a tasty grain with a tasty strain.  Here are 5 local beers & 5 local recreational marijuana strains that will go well together (in this author’s opinion, of course):

(Oh yeah. This is just a pairing guide for tasting, NOT for drinking. And remember, consume responsibly. We are not responsible for your irresponsibility.)

Elysian-the-Immortal-CannaSol=Farms

Beer: Elysian Brewing Co. – Immortal IPA (6.3% ABV)
Strain: CannaSol Farms – Jack Herer
Let’s all forget that Elysian was just acquired by Anheuser Busch (capitolhillseattle.com has a wonderful write up and dialogue about it). Elysian Brewing makes a mean IPA, and this Immortal IPA has a refreshing hop flavor that isn’t overpowered.  In our review for Jack Herer, we suggested enjoying the strain with a fragrant IPA – so here’s our choice!
Fremont Brewing Company Dutch Brothers
Beer: Fremont Brewing Co. – 77 Select Spring Session IPA (4.0% ABV)
Strain: Dutch Brothers – Seattle Cough
One of my favorite breweries, the Fremont Brewing Company creates a vast amount of select delicious brews – made all the better from the tap at their humble Fremont location.  Seattle Cough is a potent strain that will take the drivers seat when combined with this crisp 77 Session IPA – the herb is nitrogen purged to lock in flavors of vanilla, pine and grapefruit.  Day = made.
Pike Kilt Lifter High Altitude
Beer: Pike Brewing Co. – Kilt Lifter Scotch Style Ruby Ale (6.5% ABV)
Strain: High Altitude – Obama Kush
Ach lads, a good thick ale is just what Dr. Fischer ordered.  This Kilt Lifter Ruby Ale is malty scrumptious, offering caramel thickness in a style I can only describe as “Scotchtoberfest” (yes, I went there).  Such luxurious nature should be accompanied with a presidential nug, namely Obama Kush: a spicy funky specimen worthy of your vote.
Hales Ale Supergoose Avitas Agriculture Snoops Dream
Beer: Hale’s Ales Brewery – Supergoose IPA (7.0% ABV)
Strain: Avitas Agriculture – Snoop’s Dream
A classic Northwest brewery, Hale’s Ales has been around since the 1980’s and is located in Fremont.  Supergoose is a balanced borderline-imperial IPA.  The hoppy flavor will lend itself to Snoop’s Dream’s duality of sweet and spice.  Meerkat! With a cape!
Bellevue Brewing Company Torch NW UFO Flower
Beer: Bellevue Brewing Co. – 425 Pale Ale (4.8% ABV)
Strain: Torch NW – UFO Flower
Pale ale’s are usually light on taste, but this 425 packs a punch of crisp malty love.  This author can only recommend sampling generously, preferably from a tap.  The flavorful 425 really made me want some UFO Flower, a ludicrously good tasting strain.  Picture a white mystery flavored Airhead, smack it some skunk-funk and you’ve got this tasty bud.
 (Again. This is just a pairing guide for tasting, NOT for drinking. And remember, consume responsibly. We are not responsible for your irresponsibility.)
