Also look for food specials designed by Spints owner/chef Alyssa Gregg to pair with each beer.
Collaboration Fall Harvest Ale Description:
A collaboration beer between Jason McAdam and Ben Edmunds, head brewers at Burnside and Breakside Brewing respectively. This is a malty golden ale brewed with 50 lbs of roasted Sauvie Island corn, 10 lbs of roasted New Mexico Hatch chiles, 25 lbs of roasted tomatoes, and lime zest. The beer uses an unlikely combination of ingredients from the late summer/early fall harvest, and the result is a surprisingly drinkable and complex beer that pairs beautifully with roasted and smoked foods.
Specs:1.055 OG, 1.012 FG, 5.7% ABV, 16 IBU
