Slippery Pig Pork Belly Rhubarb IPA


This beer is a bit sour.  It's one of the beers where you can't judge it by the first sip.  You have to take 2-3 and let that initial shock get by.  It was an interesting IPA.  Slippery Pig does nothing but interesting beers and never what you'd expect.  Thus, my conclusion is that anytime you see something by Slippery Pig you have to try it because it's always a surprise and 90% of the time pleasant.

BREWERY REVIEW: Slippery Pig

Slippery Pig is a brewery located in Poulsbo, Washington.  If you're looking to go here, put the address in your GPS and follow it.  Don't be afraid that you are driving through woods on a dirt road.  You are headed in the right direction.  


This brewery is on a real, working farm.  The owner's family has owned the land for a while and he lives in the farmhouse here with his wife.  You will find dogs and occasionally a chicken wandering around the property.  As a result, parking is limited and the bathroom is a port-a-potty in the parking lot.  You can also expect to sit outside, rain or shine, and enjoy your brew with other locals.


A lot of their brews are made with things source off their farm.  It's pretty cool and as a result they do a lot of interesting beers (lemongrass, kale, rhubarb).  You can even buy farm fresh eggs here, probably laid by a chicken walking around your ankles.  Food items are limited to nuts and chips and salsa, but in the summer they make a BBQ available if you want to bring your meat.

The owner, who wears a kilt, is usually found behind the bar or working somewhere nearby.  The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.  The place is family friendly and they usually have one of their own sodas on tap as well.  


If you're in the area, this is definitely a brewery to check out.  They don't bottle and distribute limited in kegs so you won't find their beer many other places than at the brewery itself.  They do have growler fills available for most of their beers and occasionally a guest tap with another local beer.

You can check out Slippery Pig's website but they are limited in their info.  You can also find them on facebook.

Slippery Pig Western Red Lager


This beer was nothing but wood flavored.  I really felt like I had put my mouth around a smoker and inhaled.  The woody taste was just too much for me and I didn't really enjoy it at all.  The husband drank most of it and said it was ok, but definitely not one of our favorites.

The last one with sideways descriptions!

Slippery Pig Rhubarb Session Ale


Once again, an ingredient I wasn't sure I like really or would enjoy in my beer.  This one was good.  It was a bit tart for my tastes, but that's not surprising.  I usually like when fruit beers go sweeter than anything.  Compared to the other "tart" fruit beers I've tried, this is one of the better ones.

I really wish I knew how to rotate pictures once they were uploaded for you folks.  I apologize for the descriptions being all sideways.

Slippery Pig White Chocolate Stout


I wish I wasn't driving so I could have tried more than a sip of this beer.  My husband and I fought lots over who got to drink the last bits of this beer.  It was amazing.  I was afraid it would be overly sweet, but it wasn't.  It was just the right amount of everything.  This is one beer I would hunt for in bottles, if they did that sort of thing.

Oops, this one is sideways too in the description.

Slippery Pig J9 Kale Ale


I did not know if I would like this.  I'm not even sure how I feel about kale.  However, this beer was ok.  Not something I'd hunt out, but I'd drink again.

Oops, the description on this one is sideways for some reason!

Slippery Pig Kiwi Blonde


This beer poured quite a unique color.  It almost looked like grapefruit juice, but it was good.  The brewery's description is below.  If you like kiwi's, you'd probably like this one!
