This has been (and remains) my favorite Seattle beer to share with people since I moved here.

This family of three is about to become four!

Not only are brewery tap rooms somewhere you *should* bring kids, ideally you should be able to do it by bike

I haven't tried Garrett Oliver's Fonio Rising Double Pilsner yet, but I did track down some Yolélé 🌾 Revolutionary African Foods fonio and served it with dinner last night. And now I'm even more curious about the beer!

With this week's unfortunate Paul Arney news, I decided to open a bottle of this beautiful beer tonight. I will miss it and the beer world will be poorer without Paul's idiosyncratic wild ales.

Hazy beer is dead, long live the haze!

Some sad news for the Seattle beer scene today: brouwerscafe, a world class bar & restaurant that has enthusiastically served the best ales and lagers from Belgium, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond for the past 19 years, will close its doors for good at the end of June.

No, we won't discourage you from buying both sets for the same laid-back beer geek.

This makes me wonder how other more traditional sour beer specialists are faring these days. Fruited kettle sours and smoothie sours are most of what I see anymore.

Meanwhile, here's how we're looking 10 years later in WA. ✅ Propolis ✅ Airways ❌ Sound* ✅ Chuckanut ❌ Pyramid ✅ White Bluffs ✅ Fremont (x2) ✅ Silver City The brewery is gone but the winning beer, Dubbel Entendre, survives at Echoes Brewing.

Made it to Seattle's newest brewery last weekend. The view was fantastic, the beer was fine, and every table was full. A spot to keep an eye on.

It's going to be a great day to hang out with some cool brewing industry folks. Oh, and I'll be there too.

Haven't been to Haywire Brewing Co in years, but I can confirm that it's still a fun destination. We recommend Farmhand hoppy Pilsner and the juice box selection.

What Jeff says is true. And not only is the money bad, it can also take months to get paid.

More than a decade ago I lived in Bangkok for the better part of a year, during which I drank many a Thai iced tea. And that's why I find Lucky Envelope Brewing's new teahouse release so exciting. It could use a bit more body, but the flavor, color & aroma are close. What a fun beer!

Very excited about this release tomorrow. If you give our Greyhound Spritz a try, please let me know what you think!

Never mind the seasonal creep, I think single serve beer can sizes are getting out of control.

Hey Seattle: I'd love to geek out with you about fresh hops next month. And here's the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Happy to see fresh hop season on Jeff's list. And in terms of promoting it, we've been doing something pretty cool at Reuben's if I do say so myself. reubensbrews.com/event/2024-fre…

Drank my first fresh hop beer of the year tonight, a low fill of Reuben's Brews Hazealicious, just off the canning line. September is shaping up nicely.
