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 was a 30-barrel brewpub.[2]

Brews

The Hale's Ales brewing process followed a traditional English style, utilizing open fermentation tanks with top-fermenting ale yeast. Most recipes called for a proprietary English yeast strain, however Belgian strains have been used in some seasonal recipes. Hale's Ales had also begun experimenting with bourbon barrel-aging certain recipes including the Wee Heavy Winter Ale, Troll Porter, as well as Supergoose IPA.
