Chuckanut Brewery Launches New Beers for the 2025 Holiday Season

With the holidays just around the corner, Chuckanut Brewery will be releasing three new brews this year to help you celebrate. Citra Pilsner, Dortmunder Lager and the Baltic Porter will be the best ways to warm up this holiday season. If you’re serving rich meats or light starters, these brews will take your holiday feast up a notch.

A press release from Chuckanut Brewery revealed that all three beers are served on draft or sold in cans making them the perfect choice for your holiday parties.

The Baltic Porter collaboration with Ashliegh Carter from Bierstadt Denver and Jeff Bagby from Bagby Beers joined Chuckanut in Burlington to brew the big Baltic Porter in August. The Baltic then aged for three months and has now been packaged for draft and can sales in the WA and OR markets. The highly drinkable golden Dortmunder Lager collaboration with Structures Brewery Bellingham is now available in both draft and cans as well. And at the start of December Chuckanut will roll out the Citra Pilsner for the holidays.

Baltic Porter is a fascinating beer that’s very smooth for its 8.2% ABV. Deep garnet in color with lots of roast malt this lager has roasted grain and port-like flavors and a complex bitterness. Great served with roasted or braised meats and veggies it holds up to anything with heavy and rich sauces. The Dortmunder Lager is a bright, golden, bready, crisp beer that falls between a Pilsner and Maibock. More malt fullness and higher ABV (5.8%) than Pilsner but gentle on the pallet. This crisp lager pairs well with pork, chicken or oysters!

Chuckanut Citra Pilsner is a spin on the classic Chuckanut Pilsner but uses fruity, tropical Citra hops for an added twist. A combination of European and American style hops melt together wonderfully to create notes of grapefruit, lemon and guava and a spicy bitterness. Great paired with seafood, spicy foods or salads and light appetizers, Citra Pilsner if a fun way to celebrate the holiday season.
