Tucked deep in the woods of the misty mountainsides there hides a brewery of legend and lore. Here, Sassy the Sustainable Sasquatch mixes and mashes hops, malts and grains in an array of beers that eventually find their way into microbreweries. The following are Sassy’s most prolific contributions to brew culture.
Sasquatch Stout – Old Yale: With all the abandoned chocolate bars Sassy’s found along trails, he’s developed a bit of a sweet tooth that shows in this stout. A strong chocolate taste is enriched with a slightly bitter hint of coffee that makes this brew a good match for a cold night.
Bigfoot Barelywine – Sierra Nevada: The Bigfoot has a strong malt body and a floral taste reminiscent of a sweet wine. Characteristic of barleywines, this brew has a 9.6% abv. that will have you sitting at the bar with your back slumped like Sassy in no time.
Yeti Imperial Stout – Great Divide: This brew will put some hair on your chest… and maybe the rest of your body. Dark roasted malts give this stout a color as dark as the woods where Sassy lives and a 9.5% abv. to match. Don’t get lost out there.
Skookum Creek Strong Ale – Cascade Lakes: A seasonal release from Cascade Lakes, this brew is a mash of Sassy’s favorite Pacific Northwest bounty. Combining seven malt selections and four hop varieties, this strong ale is has a rich complexion of herbal goodness.
Wild Duck Sasquatch Strong Ale: While the original concoction created by the late Wild Duck brewmaster Glen “Sasquatch” Falconer has been retired, every year several breweries such as Ninkasi and Hopworks brew their own spin on the classic for the Sasquatch Brewfest as an ode to one of Oregon’s most beloved brewers… and legend.
