WE'RE ORGANIC! : On July 27 we received word that 12 of our house-brewed beers had been awarded organic certification from the WA Dept. of Agriculture. Elliott Bay Brewing Co. is the first brewery in King County to brew certified organic beer and the only brewery in the state to gain certification for so many of its beers.

BEST BAR/PUB + BEST BURGER:
Thanks to readers of the WS Herald for honoring us with the distiction of Best Bar / Pub in West Seattle and for voting ours the Best Burgers west of the Duwamish.
SEASONAL BEERS:
Beer von Boorian Series: We're taking on yet another brewing challenge in 2007...managing a Belgian yeast strain. Our plan is to brew a recipe at each of the pubs on an alternating basis so as to keep the yeast active and viable. This will mean some new recipes in addition to variations of some old favorites. The first batch, a hoppy Belgian pale ale we're calling Hop von Boorian, is pouring now.
DONE GONE GREEN:
We're now participating in Puget Sound Energy's Green Power program and purchasing approximately 60% of our electricity from wind power sources.
In addition, we've worked with City Light to replace (where possible) most of our old lights with the latest generation of energy efficient florescents, saving a heap of electricity over the course of the year while also providing better light for our employees to work by.
Elliott Bay is proud to have been selected to be among the first restaurants in West Seattle to take part in recycling all of our food waste instead of sending it to the landfill.
If that all weren't cool enough, we've replaced the company vehicle with a diesel truck that is running on biodiesel!
ART WORK:
The art on our walls this month comes to us from Tim Pew.
