Brewer John spent some more time chattin’ it up with customers recently and he couldn’t believe his luck when he got to sample alongside the Legendary John Harris at the Tanasborne New Seasons. Creator of Mirror Pond Pale, Black Butte Porter and then his own Ecliptic Brewing, Mr. Harris has always freely and happily shared his knoweledge and experience with brewers from all over the world.

We are so lucky to be able to make beer and learn from people like this legend. Pictured with John and John is Jonathan and John, beer buyers at New Seasons…you can see why we HAD to take a picture.

If you’re lucky enough to go to the Kraken game tonight, look for “The Beer of the Game”, Douglas!! Getting into an arena game like this is basically a miracle so soak it up while you can! And if you need to pre-game, has it on all the time because they’re incredible humans. Thank you to “Tufano” for making it happen and the for giving it a go! 📸

When it came time to name this this beer of ours a lot of thought went into it. We needed a name that could speak to this region that didn’t come off campy or pandering. Many names came and went… but Douglas stuck.

At it’s core Douglas is inspired by the great Douglas Fir tree, a very unique and highly specialized species of pine tree (not actually a fir) that is native only to Cascadia. These majestic giants showcase the natural beauty of this place and informed many of the label design elements. From the deep and dark green color (healthy forest), to the stylized “D” at the top of the label, the oval shape & scalloped edges (pine cone) and even the slightly striated background (needles). We wanted Douglas to feel uniquely from here, just like the ever-present Douglas Fir.

But it’s more than just trees… we wanted this beer to have some personality. Giving the beer a common name allows us to tap into the power of personification and add a little fun to the overall experience. It’s easy to shout from an across a crowded bar and shortens into some catchy nicknames, many of which we probably haven’t even thought of our ourselves!

All in all, Douglas is a beer that inspires engagement! So…grab yourself a bucket of Dougies and spend time with good company.
