7 Devils creates seasonal brews for a good cause BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World
A local brewery is giving their guests the opportunity to drink beer for a good cause. The 7 Devils Brewing Co. has been collaborating with local organizations to create seasonal benefit beers. “We love to give back to our community, and we’ll take just about any excuse to do
that while drinking a delicious beer,” said 7 Devils Brewing Co. owner Annie Pollard. Community members are being invited to visit the brewery to help finish up the last batches of their latest season benefit beer, “The Elakha Ale,” which is expected to last through the end of April. The Elakha Ale boasts a blend of Chinook Hops, Maris Otter Malt, and locally sourced
dulse seaweed from Oregon Seaweed. Each sip supports the mission of the Elakha Alliance in their endeavor to reintroduce sea otters to their ancestral home in Oregon. “Restoring Oregon’s sea otter population could have immense effects on the resiliency of our coastal ecosystems, and would rebuild a lost cultural connection for the indigenous coastal community,” Pollard
said. Seven Devil’s head brewer Jonah Bodden, and the rest of the 7 Devil’s team, put a lot of thought into creating the recipes for the benefit beers – including the Elakha Ale. “In terms of the beer making side of things, we decided to make a Brown Ale because it resembles a sea otter’s fur,” Bodden said. “It also has a coastal influence. We add roasted red dulse to the beer. Dulse is edible seawood – similar to what you eat in sushi. It’s really yummy.
It has nice, savory umami notes and sea salt that really complements the flavor of the brown ale.” The brewers also chose to use Chinook hops that are grown in Oregon for the Elakha Ale. “That is one other way we are trying to create an homage to the local ecosystems and environment that the Elakha Alliance is working so hard to protect and restore,” Bodden Seasonal Brews continues on page 8
