Old world inspired, unfiltered small batch ales. Taste the difference!
Owners Kurt and Lori Ahrens enjoyed flavorful European style ales as far back as their college days. When they moved to Seattle, Washington from Denver, Colorado in 1988 they would soon be "exposed" to the wonderful microbrews exploding on the scene in the great Northwest. This was also inspiration for Kurt to become a homebrewer a few years later. Kurt was attracted to the British and Irish style ales and learned to appreciate them even more when he and Lori were able to visit the UK and Ireland. That's where the "old world inspired" slogan comes from. Kurt has taken inspiration from these styles of ales, but he is also influenced by Northwest style beers that are often big, bold and aggressively hopped.
Because North Sound Brewing Co.'s brewhouse system is relatively small, we're able to make small batches which means we can pay special attention to quality. Our beers are also unfiltered and fresh. We think that makes our beers extra special. Look for our beers and taste the difference!

Hop Chops IPA
Floral nose and slightly sweet start, transitioning to the magical flavor combination of Simcoe and Amarillo hops. Finishes with citrus and spice. Big and Tasty! 6.8% ABV |
|
Opie IPA
This medium-bodied IPA features the new hop Meridian which we think lends a slightly sweet, orange flavor to the beer. Nicely balanced and refreshing. 6.6% ABV |
|
Slainte Stout
Slainte (pronounced Shlon-cha) is the Irish word for cheers! This creamy, smooth, dark beauty has ample amounts of caramel, roasted and chocolate malts giving it its complex flavorful body. Can you taste Toffee? 6.6% ABV |
|
Bitter Rain ESB
ESB stands for Extra Special Bitter. Seven different kinds of grains give this beer a very interesting malt profile. A balanced dose of Centennial and Goldings hops make this a very satisfying ESB. 5.8% ABV |

Cherry Wheat Ale
What can we say? You want a beer that goes down as easy as a beautiful Northwest summer day? Try this light-bodied wheat beer with just the faintest taste of cherry. Cheers! 4.5% ABV |

Big R Imperial Red Ale (available Fall through Spring)
Lots of malt and lots of hops means there's lots going on in this ale!! The initial full bodied malt start to this beer gives way to a lingering spicy bitter finish. You might want to use both hands when steering this one! This is one to chew on!!!! Cheers! 9% ABV |
|
Goosetown Brown
Slightly sweet, smoky and full-bodied. Chocolate, roasted and dark Munich malts give this beer a nice mahogany color and rich flavor. This big brown ale will warm you up! 7% ABV |

To Hell in a Hop Basket Imperial IPA (limited availability)
A 60-minute boil with Magnum, Pearle, Cascade, Chinook and Centennial hops. Dry hopped with Falconer’s Flight, Centennial and Cascade whole-leaf. Resinous and spicy, with pine and grapefruit flavors and a smooth finish. This hoppy goodness is a little over 100 IBUs. 10.6 ABV |
|
|
Rye of Passage Anniversary Ale
Our rye IPA is back! An intense spiciness sits under layers of three different hops used in the boil, (Chinook, Columbus and Cascade) and four different dry-hops, (Cascade, Falconer’s Flight, Columbus and Meridian). The color and aroma speaks for itself. 6.4%ABV |
|
Ruddy Spud Ale
An easy-drinking beer with big flavor! We wet-spudded this light-style red ale specifically for the Spirit of the Spud event in downtown Mount Vernon happening Saturday, September 24th. 6.3% ABV |

Sucellus Imperial Porter
Named for the Celtic god of agriculture and alcoholic drinks, he is often seen carrying a hammer and a beer keg on a long pole. We crammed a whole lot of oatmeal and chocolate malts into this ale. Our imperial porter richly coats the tongue with smooth, dark chocolate and the kind of velvety goodness that’ll make you think the whole world loves you – even your mother-in-law. 9.5% ABV |
|
|
Fresh Hop IPA
50 pounds of fresh hops went into this beer; Centennial, Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra. Big aroma gives way to a green hop flavor followed by strong notes of tropical fruits like passion fruit, guava and star fruit. 72 IBUs. 6.6% ABV |

|
Whisky Imperial Stout
Aged in Whisky barrels for four months, our Imperial Stout presents with rich vanilla notes and rye Whisky spice. This stout will linger on your tongue long after your last sip. Chocolate malt, roast and oats round out this big, dark, winter beer. 10+ ABV |
|
|
101 Imperial IPA
Why do we call it the “101”? Three reasons: it’s 10.1% abv, it’s 101 IBU’s and the dry-hopping we did to it cost us $101. This deceptively smooth Imperial IPA hits your nose with grapefruit and apple and layers the tongue with a hop profile that will put a smile on your ever-hop-lovin’ face. 10.1 ABV |
