We suitably name our collaboration with Seattle’s Maritime Pacific Brewing Company after the “ketch,” a sailing vessel sporting dual masts that once trolled the waters of the Baltic and North Seas. Fittingly, we produced a beer hailing from Germany, a country bordering both those bodies of water–a refreshing, highly drinkable Kolsch-style ale given tropical, citrusy aromas and flavor from late additions of Amarillo hops.
