On the second Wednesday of each month we release a keg of CASK-CONDITIONED beer at our pub in BURIEN that was brewed in West Seattle.

This month’s selection, “One Hop Pale Ale” is based on our Sunnydale Pale Ale recipe but hopped solely with Crystal hop pellets, yielding a bright new flavor and aroma unfamiliar to fans of Elliott Bay beer.

Come taste the ultra-fresh and un-fined version of this late summer seasonal. We tap the keg at 3:00 PM.

Yesterday, August 31st, Elliott Bay Brewing Co. closed on a building in the Lake City neighborhood, where it will locate its third brewpub location. (Click on map for a detailed view of the area)

While the deal on the building is done, EBBC will not take possession of the future brewpub space until May 2011. At that time the build-out will begin, with the intention of opening the doors for business by the end of the year.

Currently the plan is to get the restaurant opened first, initially drawing beer from the two existing locations, in Burien and West Seattle, until the brewing facility in Lake City is fully operational.

Stay tuned for updates on this latest EBBC project as they unfold.

Cheers to another fine eating and drinking establishment in the Seattle area!

West Seattle is getting its own batch of  ‘Organic Mashing Pumpkin Ale‘ thanks to the capable hands of Brewer Dan Ashley. Today he’s whipping up ~200 gallons of this VERY popular fall seasonal beer.

Spiced with ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, this beer makes for a tasty treat that, at a hefty 8% ABV, will warm your innards too .

A bit of the batch brewed in Burien is destined for an extended stay in a freshly-emptied Heaven Hill bourbon barrel, which should arrive at our door in the next week.

If you like all manner if beer made with gourds, check out the “Great Pumpkin Beer Festival” at Elyisan Brewing on October 16-17. Stay tuned for further details as they emerge.

We’ll be serving a version of our Organic Mashing Pumpkin Ale blended with Bourbon barrel aged Stout and maybe even a wee dram of sour beer, just ’cause we can!

Tonight (08.24.10) at Naked City Taproom there’s a rare opportunity for local beer enthusiasts to taste at least 10 examples of beers made by Washington brewers based on award-winning home brew recipes.

The fruits of the “Pro-Am” project will pour and be judged at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO from Sept. 16-18, but you can taste them here first!

Here’s some more info about the event tonight and the Pro-Am project from Mark Emiley, coordinator of the Puget Sound Pro-Am Competition:

Thanks to the hard work of Naked City, for the first time ever, all homebrewers and beer lovers have a chance to sample from the largest assembly of Pro-Am beers available to the public in the history of Washington. Over ten homebrew recipes that were scaled up for commercial production will be on tap at Naked City starting on Tuesday, August 24th. These award winning homebrew recipes were selected from the Puget Sound Pro-Am homebrew competition in April after careful selection from Washington craft brewers. Many of these beers will be sent on the Great American Beer Festival’s Pro-Am Competition in September.

There is only a limited amount of each of these beers available so come down to Naked City for your chance to try these beers side by side and celebrate the tie between homebrewers and craft brewers. Here are some of the beers that will be featured:

-Baron: ‘Maui Wowie Coconut Porter’
-Big Al: ‘Uber Alt Dusseldorf Alt’
-Big Time: ‘Baltic Porter’
-BJ’s: ‘Rod and Todd Flanders’
-Elliott Bay: ‘Black Pepper Porter’
-Elysian: ‘Polecat Porter Baltic Porter’
-Naked City: ‘Imperial Wood Aged Porter’
-Big Horn/Ram: ‘Blackened Hops Cascadian Dark Ale’
-Rock Bottom-Bellevue: ‘Achtung Baby Berliner Weisse’
-Rock Bottom-Seattle: ‘May the Schwartz be with You Schwarzbier”
-Schooner Exact: ‘Scottish Wee Heavy’

As a special offer, in the evening AHA members can renew their memberships for a reduced rate ($33 – find Mark Emiley). Come on down, bring your friends, and have a great time enjoying the products of the finest homebrewers and Puget Sound craft brewers!

See ya there!

We’re brewing a new beer in West Seattle today: One Hop Ale

The recipe has a Pale Ale malt base, featuring Caracrystal Wheat from Briess Malting, and uses only one hop variety throughout the brew: Crystal

Brewing with just one variety allows the unique characteristics of that particular hop to shine.

Crystal is know for its “flowery and perfume-like” character that complements pale beers.

Look for it on tap at both pubs in just a few weeks.
