About Dottie Seattle Lager:

Dottie Seattle Lager is an Amber Session Lager (4.9% ABV, 25 IBU) that is made from the world-class local ingredients grown right here in Washington State.

This truly is a Seattle Lager, the grains, 2 Row, Vienna, Munich, and Melanoidin, are predominately grown in the southeast counties of the state and the generous helping of Magnum & Liberty hops that balances out this malty brew are grown in the Yakima Valley.

Dottie pours a clean and clear copper-reddish color with a frothy white head. The beer’s medium body and crisp finish results is a great all-season session beer best known for its balance, complexity and malt forward flavor.
