A Traditional Landbier, but What\u2019s That?<\/h2>\n

Chuckanut Brewery<\/a> is tapping into waste reduction and good beer at the same time. On October 3rd, from noon to 3 pm, Chuckanut celebrates the release of Baker\u2019s Beer with a free, family-friendly event at its taproom in Burlington, Washington (11937 Higgins Airport Way<\/a>, in the Skagit Valley).<\/p>\n

Baker\u2019s Beer is a collaboration between Chuckanut, Garden Path Fermentation, WSU Breadlab, and the Skagit Food Waste Prevention Coalition, and it\u2019s built around an unusual ingredient: surplus bread from The Bread Farm and Watertank Bakery in Skagit. The team collected, toasted, and manually tore the bread into smaller pieces by hand \u2014a process that took five people about an hour and a half\u2014before adding it to the mash tun alongside malted barley. The result is a traditional Landbier-style German lager with a rich, warm character drawn from the toasted bread. Garden Path Fermentation joined in on the brew day for this deep golden lager.<\/p>\n

Learn something: <\/strong>Landbier, a German style of beer, is described as an everyday, session-strength lager traditionally brewed by rural or local breweries. The term denotes local ingredients, traditional production methods, and a community-focused approach. This beer fits that traditional definition; however, the term is sometimes used as a catch-all for any rustic-style lager. This one is the real deal.<\/p>\n

The October 3rd celebration will include trivia and games, prizes and giveaways, and the Skagit Valley College food truck. The Skagit Food Waste Prevention Coalition will also be there offering tips on saving food and money while cutting down on waste, alongside tables from United General, Skagit Valley Food Co-op, Burlington\/Mt. Vernon Library, Skagit Soils\/Lautenbach Recycling, Skagit Gleaners, WSU Master Gardeners, and Skagit County Solid Waste, among others.<\/p>\n

Baker\u2019s Beer will be available on tap and in cans for a limited time at Chuckanut Brewery and at Garden Path Fermentation\u2019s location at the Port of Skagit Airport. It will also be sold at Skagit Valley Food Co-op and select grocery stores, bottle shops, restaurants, and bars across Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and San Juan counties.<\/p>\n
