485. Schooner Exact Brewing Co. – Hopvine India Pale Ale IPA
I’ve had a great day and evening so far, stopping at several breweries throughout Redmond and Seattle, Washington. This evening, my cousin and I have been walking around his neighborhood of Ballard, going from brewery to brewery. So far this evening, he and I have stopped at Fremont Brewing, Reuben’s Brews, NW Peaks Brewery, and Hilliard’s Beers (and that’s after stopping at Black Raven and Pike Brewing Co....
484. Hilliard’s Beer – Nautical Reference Pale Ale
It’s been a long day already in Seattle, Washington, where I’ve been the last few days for a conference for work. It’s my last day here, and I’ve already stopped at several places, and had several beers, including the Totem Pale Northwest Ale and Trickster IPA at Black Raven Brewing, the Harlot’s Harvest Pumpkin Ale and Space Needle Golden Anniversary IPA from Pike Brewing Co, the Robust Porter at...
483. Northwest Peaks Brewery – Redoubt Red
After visiting Reuben’s Brews, my cousin and I walked down the street to this brewery. It was closing up for the evening, but my cousin and I were able to talk the guy working into letting us have one beer (and one growler and bottle to go) before they closed up. Thank you to the brewing intern working there for letting us stay slightly past closing time for me to enjoy this beer and buy some beers to go. I loved the feel of...
482. Reuben’s Brews – Robust Porter
After an already great day in the Seattle and Redmond , Washington area, finishing up the conference I was attending at the Microsoft campus, picking up beer to bring home at The Cork and Vine, checking out Black Raven Brewing, visiting Pike market and the Pike Brewery, I met up with my cousin to hit a few more breweries before I head out of town in the morning. Our first stop was Fremont brewing where we visited their urban beer...
481. The Pike Brewing Co – Space Needle Golden Anniversary IPA
The St. Louis Cardinals are on the TV, beating Atlanta in the NLCS wildcard game, and I’m at The Pike Brewing Company in Pike Market in Seattle, Washington. I’m in town for a conference for work, and after everything finished up today, I came here for sightseeing. I’ve already had their Harlot’s Harvest Pumpkin Ale (along with a couple of beers at Black Raven brewing earlier). This beer was endorsed by James...
480. The Pike Brewing Co – Harlot’s Harvest Pumpkin Ale
I’m in Seattle, Washington for work, and the conference I was attending wrapped up for the day. Since I was in Redmond, it gave me a chance to stop at Black Raven Brewing for lunch. After getting back to the hotel, I headed over to Pike Market to do some sightseeing and visit this brewery as well. I was able to sit at the bar and watch my St. Louis Cardinals in the playoffs against Atlanta. The only tough thing was trying to...
479. Black Raven Brewing – Trickster IPA
I’m still at Black Raven Brewing in Redmond, Washington, and I just had their Totem Pale Northwest Ale, along with a pizza delivered there. I’m in town for a conference and was looking for good breweries in the area to visit. A poll of my Twitter followers, Facebook friends and people on my Google+ page, showed that this brewery came highly recommended by those who’ve been to the area. Therefore, when the...
478. Black Raven Brewing – Totem Pale Northwest Ale
I’ve you’ve read my last few posts, you’d see that I’ve been in Seattle and Redmond, Washington the last few days at a conference on the Microsoft campus. When I sent a note out to my Twitter followers, Facebook friends and posted on my Google+ page, this brewery seemed to be one of the most recommended breweries in the Seattle area. So, when the conference finished up, I first stopped at the Cork & Vine...
477. Fish Brewing – Leavenworth Whistling Pig Hefeweizen
As I’ve mentioned in my last several posts, I’m in the Seattle and Redmond, Washington area for work this week. Specifically, the conference I’m attending is on the Microsoft campus. This evening, we had another networking mixer. At the mixer, they had a few different craft brews. After having a Scotch Style Pike Kilt Lifter, I noticed this beer, which I hadn’t added to this list yet. Location: Poured into...
476. Ninkasi Brewing – Total Domination IPA India Pale Ale
It’s been a long day in Seattle, Washington, where I am for work. I’ve been at a conference all day and a networking event afterward (where I had Mac & Jack’s African Amber). Then I stopped at Red Mill Burgers, which came recommended on the Travel Channel. Finally, I stopped at Hale’s Ales for a few quick samples, where I had their Red Manace Big Amber, Cream ESB, and Mongoose IPA. When I got back to my...
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,...
474. Hale’s Ales – Cream HSB Hales Special Bitter
I’m in Seattle for work this week and stopped at this brewery on my way back to the hotel for the evening. They offered some small sample glasses, and I already had their Red Menace Big Amber. While having my first beer, I read a few reviews on beers from this brewery, and it sounded like the Cream beers they offered on nitro draft were their best. So, for my next one, I went with this one. Location: On tap and served in a...
