Hi Pacific Northwesterners, I'm from NJ, but I'm staying in downtown Tacoma for a bit. Anyone want to join me for a brew? I've already been to Harmon. I do have wheels, so as long as it's on GPS, I can find a location, I hope. Message me if interested.
As I mentioned in the other thread, THR and E9 are very worthy. You've discovered Tacoma Boys on your own. Check out these places: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/15533/?view=ratings http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27005/?view=ratings http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29853/?view=ratings http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/959/ Enjoy your visit!
Wish I was closer to Tacoma to meet and buy you a beer. Have loved your NBS posts. Check out the Red Hot and the Parkway if you haven't already.
It's a bit of a distance from you but you should check out the Washington Brewers Fest this weekend in Redmond...especially Friday evening session.
I have been born and raised in tacoma. Sadly the BA community is lacking in our area but I would love to meet up and have a few. Currently I work at The Copper Door in north tacoma, a good bottleshop and taproom. I am also working at Pacific Brewing and Malting doing some assistant brewing and brewery work....so please come into either location ask for Dante. Places to checkout would be Tacoma boys, enginehouse 9, Pacific brewing, pint defiance and narrows brewing
In addition to my endorsement of @beertunes's reccomendations of E9 & RH on the last NBS (did I leave out any other initials?), I have to say he's doing you a good turn by suggesting 99 Bottles as well. Great store.
