475. Hale’s Ales – Mongoose IPA
This is my third post from Hale’s Ales in Seattle, Washington, where I stopped for a few samples while on a trip for work. The conference I was at was finished for the day, and I stopped at Red Mill Burgers for a bite to eat and then here for a quick few small drinks. I started with their Red Menace Big Amber, followed by the Cream Hale’s Special Bitter on a nitro tap. I wasn’t necesarily impressed with either,...

When I was with my cousin at Georgetown Brewing the day before, the server...

I grabbed a beer while the presidential debate was on TV. I saw this on tap and hadn’t heard of the brewery before, so I thought I’d give it a try. Turns out the Brewery was right there in Redmond, WA. Location: On tap and served in a pint glass at...
Best Beers for Fall
Summer is coming to an end – school has started, football season is about to begin, and the shelves at the local store are starting to fill with pumpkin and Oktoberfest beers. It’s a time when our tastes start moving from light, crisp, refreshing beers to those with a bit more maltiness and warming alcohol content.
