CASK RELEASE : 11.30.09 : Organic Riot X


Two kegs of Organic Riot X will be cask-conditioned this week then tapped at each of our pubs on Monday, Nov. 30 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the WTO protests in Seattle.

Riot X was hopped at ten different points during the brewing and aging process, yielding a deliciously potent mixture of malty goodness and sublime bitterness.
Stop by for a pint. However, if you miss this special release, fear not. We’ll be aging the beer another couple of weeks then foisting it upon the natives who never asked for it in the first place…kind of like the WTO!

NEW RELEASE : Noäle Holiday Ale


Hurry down to either or both of our pubs to get a taste of the 2009 Noäle Holiday Ale.

The beer, based loosely on the “Dunkel Weizenbock” style of hearty dark wheat ale, was released yesterday, just in time for a wee nip before Turkey Day arrives.

It will also be pouring Dec. 4 and 5 at the Winter Beer Festival @ Hale’s in Fremont.

Happy Holidays!

Both Pubs Closed Nov. 26


Both Elliott Bay Pubs will be closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26th.

Best wishes to all our patrons.

We look forward to seeing you all again on Friday 11/27.

Elliott Bay Wins Brewery Bowling Challenge


Last night at the Beer Church Turkey Bowl fundraiser for the West Seattle Food Bank, Elliott Bay Brewery won the Brewery Challenge, beating out a number of other teams of bowlers from local breweries. Check out the YOU TUBE video of owner Todd Carden receiving the winner’s trophy.

More info about the fundraiser was reported on HERE by the West Seattle Blog.

Being Brewed : Organic Riot X Ale


Today in Burien we brewed a special batch of our perennial favorite ORGANIC RIOT ALE in time to release it on 11.30.09 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the WTO riots in Seattle.

We adjusted the hops a bit this time around, making 10 additions throughout the brewing process, including one infusion of hop pellets in the fermenter for an aromatic boost.

Varieties include: Magnum, Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe, and Amarillo and ABV should wind up about 7.25%.

Being Brewed : Hoppus Callosum


Yep…here it comes again…our HOPPY and STRONG Double IPA

Brewed in West Seattle with Columbus, Chinook, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops, Hoppus is no wallflower. Rather, its in-your-face goodness reaches up to grab you then slaps you about the face with a big helping of 7.6% alcohol-by-volume. This is your brain on hops!

Sound enticing? Release date = Nov. 24 in W. Seattle

Who said nothing ever happens around here but rain in the winter?

Cask Third Thursday in West Seattle


Join us Thursday, November 19 (tomorrow!) at our West Seattle pub for our monthly tapping of a cask-conditioned beer produced at our sister pub in Burien.

This month we’ll pour a keg of dry-hopped HOP SCOTCH.

The naturally carbonated keg will be pouring from the bar top starting at 3:00 PM.

Holiday Ales @ Elliott Bay


It’s that time of year again when we throw open the doors of both our pubs to some of the wonderful and hearty beers of the season.

Normally we serve only guest beers from our fellow Washington brewers, but during November and December we’ll be casting our net a bit wider to include some of our favorite holiday creations from Oregon, California, Colorado, and beyond.

These taps will change frequently throughout these last two months of the year, so check in often to see what’s currently on tap.

Our own Noäle Holiday Ale will be released the week of Thanksgiving and will (hopefully) last until the end of the year.

Being Brewed: Hop Scotch


HOP SCOTCH, our strong dark amber ale, has been brewed in Burien.

The batch is now aging for a while in a conditioning tank, preparing for its release. This year’s batch was dry-hopped with Cascade, Amarillo, and Chinook to help boost the hop aroma of a beer that is already rich in hop flavor.

Get the first taste of HOP SCOTCH this Thursday in West Seattle, when we tap a cask-conditioned keg on the bar top @ 3:00 PM.
