Chester Creek Pale Ale is driven by a trio of classic American hops that bring out the bright, piney character of the North Shore.

• Cascade – A pioneering American hop known for its grapefruit zest, floral lift, and gentle spice. Cascade sets the stage with the familiar, refreshing backbone that made the American Pale Ale iconic.

• Simcoe – Bold and expressive, Simcoe layers in resinous pine, ripe apricot, and earthy undertones. It’s the hop that gives this beer its signature bite and depth.

• Centennial – Often called “Super Cascade,” Centennial amplifies the citrus with lemon and orange highlights, rounded by a balancing touch of floral bitterness.

Together, these hops create a zesty, pine-kissed bouquet with a clean, lingering bitterness, the perfect complement to the crisp waters of Chester Creek.

The malt bill in Chester Creek Pale Ale provides the steady backbone that balances the vibrant hops.

• US 2-Row – The clean, dependable base malt that delivers a smooth canvas of bready sweetness and lets the hops shine.

• Carafoam – Known for enhancing foam stability and a silky mouthfeel, this malt gives every pint a lasting head and satisfying texture.

• Crystal Medium – Adds a touch of caramel richness and amber hue, deepening the body with subtle notes of toasted sugar.

Together, these malts create a golden foundation of balance and depth, supporting the citrus and pine notes while keeping the finish crisp and refreshing.

Behind the scenes, yeast is the quiet worker that transforms simple ingredients into a lively Pale Ale.

• A07 (House Ale Yeast) – A clean-fermenting strain that brings bright clarity and balance to Chester Creek Pale Ale. It accentuates the citrus and pine notes from the hops while leaving just enough fruitiness to keep the beer lively. With its crisp finish and reliable fermentation profile, A07 ties everything together, making each sip refreshing and approachable.
