In early October 2022, Two Seattle beer scene veterans opened Bizarre Brewing with the goal of brewing lower ABV beers in a bona fide community space. Derek Brown and Colette Boilini met working at Fremont Brewing in 2014. Boilini has also served at Holy Mountain and both Cloudburst locations. Brown was the first outside brewing hire at Holy Mountain where he went on to lead their respected barrel-aged beer program. Bizarre Brewing recently opened their taproom inside the building Urban Family Brewing occupied in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood before moving to Ballard. Today, Peaks & Pints presents an in-house flight of Bizarre Brewing beer — a flight we’re calling Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Bizarre Brewing.
Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Bizarre Brewing
Bizarre Tomb For Two
4.3% ABV, can
A collaboration with Obelisk Beer in Astoria, Oregon, this pilsner is brewed with Linc Malt spelt in the mash and hopped with Lorien and Luminosa hops from Indie Hops. Last, its fermented in red wine barrels and lagered for notes of key lime pie, honeydew melon, white sangria, and toasted oak.
Bizarre The Sun Myth
5% ABV, can
Get ready for Bizarre’s little Czech-style pilsner. Mashed with pilsner and chit malt, The Sun Myth is then hopped in the kettle with a blend of Saaz and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops. This little nod to winter is then fermented cold and allowed to naturally carbonate itself. Once carbonated, the pilsner goes through a long cold lagering phase making it extra crisp. It’s freakin’ delicious with many layers.
Bizarre Dripping Earth
5% ABV, draft
Dripping Earth pale ale is brewed with locally foraged fir tips and young fir branches. Bizarre starts with a base of German pilsner malt, English pale malt, and flaked oats, then hops it in the kettle with Centennial, McKenzie, and Simcoe. Next, they add in a blend of freshly picked fir tips and young fir branches then steep it before being cooled to fermentation temperature. Last, Dripping Earth is fermented cool with their house Kölsch strain and dry hopped with Mosaic, McKenzie, and Chinook LupoMAX for a light pale with a resin nose, citrus crispness, and subtle berry.
Bizarre Floating In Light
5.1% ABV, can
Floating In Light is a rotating hop pale ale brewed with a blend of pale English and German malts, and flaked rice. Next, this snappy little pale ale is hopped in the kettle with Comet, Nelson Sauvin and Luminosa, then dry hopped with Luminosa and Comet. Last, Floating In Light is fermented cool with their house German ale strain for a tropical pale with Belgian yeast, grape, and white wine notes.
Bizarre Talking Teeth
5.2% ABV, can
Bizarre’s Talking Teeth stout is brewed with English pale, chocolate, roast, caramel, and oat malts, then hopped lightly with Styrian Golding and Talus hops.
