Both of our pubs will be CLOSED next Monday, July 6 in order that we can celebrate together at our annual company picnic.
So if you MUST have Elliott Bay beer on Monday (and who doesn’t?!), be sure to fill your growlers on Sunday.
Thanks and have a happy 4th of July weekend! We’ll open again on Tuesday July 7 at our regular time.
We’ll be pouring two beers at the 2009 Guest Chef on the Waterfront event on Wednesday, July 15: Organic Highline IPA and Organic B-Town Brown.
This is a fund-raiser for Farestart, an organization that provides nutritious meals to those in need and helps homeless and disadvantaged men, women, and their families create new opportunities for the future by providing job training and placement in the food service industry.
The event SELLS OUT every year, so get your tickets HERE. There are no day-of ticket sales.
A set of three 60-year-old cedar hop poles arrived at our pub in Burien today, compliments of the Virgil Gamache Farms of Toppenish WA.
Plans are to situate them amidst the “field of barley” on the 4th Ave. side of our building, string up some steel cable for support, and plant hop rhizomes there next year that will complete the “green wall” of basic brewing ingredients.
Many thanks to Darren and his family for bestowing upon us these historically valuable resources!
Here’s a short video clip from the 2009 North American Organic Beer Fest going on this weekend in Portland, Oregon.
Approximately 80 beers are pouring from breweries in the USA, Germany, Belgium, Scotland, and England.
Hours on Saturday are 12-9pm, Sunday 12-5pm. Admission is free, a tasting glass is $5, and 4oz samples of beer are $1. A full glass is 4 tickets.
Overlook Park is located at North Interstate Ave. and Fremont Street, three MAX light-rail stops from downtown Portland.
The poll is being conducted by Seattle Beer News blog:
“Since it is too cruel to ask you to vote for just one, you are allowed to vote for up to three of your favorite IPAs. Consider this “market researchâ€. I apologize in advance for any favorites I’ve left off; please use the “other†choice. Only looking for standard IPAs; no Belgian, dark or fruity IPAs, etc…”
Our beer is now pouring at the N. American Organic Beer Fest in Portland, OR. We brought Organic Hop von Boorian and Organic Coffee Stout. Both are tasting yummy. Drop by if you’re in the ‘hood.
Check out the pic of our booth.
We’re working out the final details of a new Imperial IPA recipe that will be brewed in Burien next week. Our working title for the beer is “Hellmouth IPA.”
The name stems from the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which takes place in Sunnydale) and refers to “a focal point which serves as a portal between earth and Hell. The Hellmouth attracts demons and other supernatural creatures, becoming a “hot spot” for supernatural activity.”
We thought that was a pretty good description of what happens when we ferment a 7% ABV beer in Burien (a.k.a. Sunnydale)!
Keep an eye out here for future updates on the release of this new brew.
The one and only keg of Pinetop Red Ale infused with Western Red Cedar tips is NOW ON TAP in our West Seattle pub.
Our brewers spent a morning hand-picking tender tips at a local park and then added them to a keg that was filled with Pinetop Red and cask-conditioned.
Come by soon for a pint of this unique and pleasant ale…it won’t last long!
Don’t miss all the wonderful Washington beers pouring during the WA Brewers’ Festival this weekend at St. Edward State Park in Kenmore.
