As the late afternoon sun begins to set just a little earlier over the Pacific Northwest, our brewhouse is shifting gears. While we’ve loved every sunny drop of our award-winning Summer IPA this season, those sun-soaked flavors are officially winding down to make way for two brand-new seasonal releases designed for the changing weather ahead.
Starting this Friday, we are thrilled to introduce Life On Mars Seasonal Red IPA and Autumn Harvest available on tap at our Ballard and Downtown Seattle taprooms, as well as landing in bottle shops and grocery coolers across our entire Pacific Northwest distribution footprint!
Life On Mars Seasonal Red IPA (6.5% ABV)
Format: 12oz 6-Packs & On Draft
Gravity can’t hold this Red IPA down.
Designed to capture the bridge between bold, hop-forward IPAs and rich, malt-driven ales, Life On Mars pours a brilliant, deep ruby with a smooth, toasted finish. This multi-dimensional brew explores a full galaxy of flavor, leading with classic West Coast grapefruit and resinous pine before drifting into sweet berry, subtle floral notes, and bright orange zest.
The experience begins with an atmospheric aroma of orange flower and stone fruit, finishing with a crisp, balancing hop bite that cuts cleanly through the malt sweetness. It’s a bold, captivating IPA that proves the Red Planet is far from barren.

Autumn Harvest • Imperial Pumpkin Ale (8.7% ABV)
Format: 16oz 4-Packs & On Draft
Fresh hop season is right around the corner, but a bountiful Autumn Harvest has arrived early to kick off the cozy season!
Brewed with real pumpkin and a warm blend of traditional spices, Autumn Harvest (8.7% ABV) is built for cool late-summer evenings and crisp fall afternoons. Deep amber in color, the nose invites you in with comforting suggestions of homemade pumpkin pie, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Five distinct varieties of malt offer a rich, caramel-like sweetness that serves as the perfect showcase for the pumpkin, while subtle notes of baking spices complement a velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel. It’s warm, indulgent, and deeply satisfying.
