Boneyard in seattle

Not much in the immediate area around U Village. Best bets would probably be in the Roosevelt/Ravenna/Green Lake/Lake City neighborhoods:

Toronado (has Hop Venom on tap now)
Burgundian
Latona Pub
Hopvine
Fiddler's Inn
Wedgwood Ale House
Elliott Bay Brewery (I think they sometimes have a Boneyard guest tap)
Beer Authority

That's the best I can come up with. There's also probably some app where you plug in the beer you want and it gives you the nearest GPS coordinates where you can find that beer, but I don't know anything about that.

 

Well, if you are at U Village, you can check out Eureka! Not sure if they have Boneyard often, but their taplist is decent and maybe you would get lucky.

 

Uber Tavern, on Aurora near Green Lake, often has Boneyard on tap. Right now they've got Bone-a-Fide, a pale ale. Their taplist is updated real time at uberbier.com/tap.php, so you can check them out before going over. It's maybe three miles from U Village.

 

Where in the lovely state of Montana are you coming from?

 

Fix Coffee right across from Green Lake always has RPM. Same with Pies and Pints on the same block as Toronado.

Toronado has Hop Venom right now.

Resident Green Lake BA checking in.

 

Awesome. I hope all is well out there. I went to Carroll and lived on Clarke St. for a year.

Question: I might be going back in September. Any recommendations on a good bottle shop?

 

Thank you! Fun to hear Toppers still exists. Agreed on Blackfoot, too. We were back there in 2010 for our 10-year homecoming, and it was great. I'll definitely reference your post if we make it back in September. Thanks!

 

Doesn't really help OP, but I had a pint of Bone Light, their ISA, at Collins Pub yesterday, and it was pretty good. If you see it, grab a pint.

 

Surprising as it may seem, but every time I go to the Ballard bevmo, they have rpm for growler fills.

 

Actually that's a good point. I think I've seen RPM for growler fills @ the Northgate Bevmo too the few times I've stopped in. Northgate would be closer for the OP's purposes. They might even list this info on their website (they show current inventory by store, at least in theory).

 

If you're coming down to West Seattle, come to The Beer Junction! They often have multiple Boneyard brews on tap. Right now they even have Notorious. That speaks for itself.

They also are one of the best bottle shops in the Seattle area. To my wife's discontent I could spend hours (and $$$) in there.

 

I second Beer Junction in West Seattle. They have always had at least one Boneyard beer on tap every time I visit. Also, check out the taplists at Chuck's 85th St and Brouwer's.

 

Gotta love how the OP says "anywhere north of downtown" and a couple people say this place

 

the beer junction is great, but if hop venom/notorious/etc are on-tap, my guess is you'll pass about 5-10 establishments on your way over there that have them on tap. finding boneyard beers around seattle is not nearly as difficult as it once was, although drafts like notorious seem to kick within 1-2 days.

 

I would bus it to West Seattle for some Notorious.
