YCBC gained inspiration from Bert Grant, who founded Bert Grant's Real Ales in 1982 in Yakima's Opera House. Though Bert & his brewery are no longer with us, Jeff & Chris use Bert's original boil kettle for brewing their beers. This all-copper kettle gives them the ability to caramelize sugars, adds some nutrients for the yeast, and carry on Bert's legacy through their beer.

Yakima Craft is a small brewery, just 3-1/2 BBL--tiny by commercial standards. Their beers are not filtered or pasteurized and are a food that's best enjoyed fresh and local. Their limited seasonal releases are currently available and include the Stout, Good Monkey, and Bad Monkey. 99 Bottles also has their regular line-up of 1982, Amber, Pale Ale, IPA, and Twin Stag Stout.

Stout beers are known for roasty-grain flavors that are reminiscent of coffee and chocolate, sometimes with burnt notes. Don't be afraid of the dark!

Some stouts are dry, some are sweet, some have molasses-like flavors, while others are vinous having wine-like characteristics...discover these flavors and more at the March Style Night at 99 Bottles.

Every month try a beer style on the 1st Tuesday.
