Hops: Mosaic, Riwaka, Columbus
For our 10th anniversary, we we're thrilled to make a special beer with our friends and neighbors at Human People Beer Cafe. There was no doubt it should showcase a metric ton of Mosaic, and we took it a step further by loading up on a variety of hop products for a maximalist approach to this beloved style. Bird Search was brewed with a simple base of pilsner malt and a dash of chit malt, allowing the excessive hopping to shine without distraction. In the boil, we used Simcoe Cryo, Columbus Cryo, and Mosaic, while adding more Mosaic, Columbus Cryo, and Mosaic Incognito in the whirlpool. At knockout, we threw in a new product from Yakima Chief Hops: Mosaic 803 (supercritical CO2 extract). We also added beta-glucosidase, an exogenous enzyme aiding in the biotransformation of flavorless hop compounds into aromatic terpenes during fermentation. After fermentation, we dry-hopped with Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Riwaka, and a smidge of Columbus Cryo. FINALLY, we dosed the bright tank with Riwaka SubZero Hop Kief from Freestyle Hops, for even MORE lupulin. The result is absolutely saturated in hop oils, deftly balancing tropical fruit, citrus, berries, and sticky cannabis. Loud aromas of grapefruit hard candy and guava juice lead into flavors of tangerine gummies, fresh mixed berries, and resinous weed. A pleasant pithy bitterness lingers through the dry finish.

On tap at WABF 2026, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour reveals bright piney hops, dankness, oily resins, and biscuity. Oily, piney, dank. Excellent.

On tap at WA Brewers Fest 2026. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Bright pine, tropical fruit on the nose, slightly floral. Flavour has a bright, resinous pine, some tropical stone fruit, clean malts. Fantastic.
