Water is not only a crucial component in the makeup of the human body, but water is also a main ingredient in brewing, accounting for roughly 90 percent of what beer is composed of. Understanding this key content to the process, Backwoods Brewing Co. pulls from a unique water source. The brewery, located in Carson, Washington, sources all its water used in the process from nearby Bear Creek, one of the freshest water sources the natural region has to offer.
One of the beers from these products showcases the bounty of the area. The Copperline amber ale has a floral, sweet aroma like wild strawberries from the forest. Woodsy notes of honey and warm rain meet and greet in the glass and move into the mouthfeel with soft flavors of malt and caramel. Balancing out with a slightly bitter finish, this beer reveals the complexity of hyper-local ingredients.
