Hale's Ales
Hale's Ales is a brewer of craft beers based in Seattle, Washington.
History
It was founded by Mike Hale in 1983. The first batch was brewed in a Colville, Washington apartment before the brewery opened in a local warehouse.[1] Its second brewery opened four years later in Kirkland, Washington. The Colville brewery moved to Spokane, Washington, in 1992, and the Kirkland brewery to Seattle's Ballard neighborhood in 1995. The Ballard location is a 30-barrel brewpub.[2]
Brews
The Hale's Ales brewing process follows a traditional English style, utilizing open fermentation tanks with top-fermenting ale yeast. Most recipes call for a proprietary English yeast strain, however Belgian strains have been used in some seasonal recipes. Hale's Ales has also begun experimenting with bourbon barrel-aging certain recipes including the Wee Heavy Winter Ale, Troll Porter, as well as Supergoose IPA.
