With only the finest Northwest ingredients Orlison creates full-bodied and delicious finishing lagers. A Lager takes longer to ferment, requires a cooler temperature and closer monitoring than your typical Ale. These cool temps and attention to detail give lagers their distinctly crisp, refreshing taste and set them apart from other craft beers. Orlison’s commitment to brewing lagers has paid off for them in spades. Since its founding in 2009, Orlison Brewing Co. has produced lagers that have won several prestigious awards at brewing festivals, including a bronze medal for our Brünette brown lager in the American dark lager category at the 2010 World Beer Championships and a gold medal for Lizzy’s Red in the 2013 Washington Beer awards.
