Visiting Seattle (Fall 2017 Update)

I was wondering if there's a site for what's pouring at CenturyLink? I may or may not be there this weekend for a fooseball game with those gargantuans. 100 level preferably.

 

AB largely runs the clink, only a few scattered non AB options:

Just go to Brougham Beer Hall. You can probably at least get a Manny's. I also know you can get an Irish Death somewhere at Clink.

 

I think you can still find Field 41 at the Clink, too.

 

I'll be in Tacoma Tuesday night. What's the haps for hops around there?

 

Red Hot, Engine House No 9, Parkway Tavern, Copper Door, Pint Defiance.

 

Thanks guys! I'll check out their tap lists and pick the one most attuned to my hop forward tastes :-)

 

There's a 'hoppy' thing happening at Peaks & Pints that night, but it's Green Flash and Alpine.

 

I'm too late, but to my understanding Seahawks games have even less craft options than Sounders games. During the 2016 Sounders season, 89% of all draft options were AB InBev, so your options aren't good.

In the event they keep stuff in mostly the same place as Sounders games, your best options are:

• Reuben's Crikey: Section 122 in Great State Burger (this is a partnership with a Sounders Supporters group, so odds of it being at Seahawks games are really low)
• Fremont Interurban: Stand outside 138 or so
• Georgetown Lucille: Stand outside 138
• Bale Breaker Field 41: Against a wall on the far east, behind 108 or so. In a special craft beer booth.

Other than that, I know you can get Black Raven Trickster, Georgetown Manny's and Mac & Jack's African Amber on draft somewhere, Stone Arrogant Bastard is sold in cans, and Alaska Amber is sold in bottles in the craft beer and wine stands. Can't think of anything else that isn't AB InBev.

 

I ended up doing okay...spent over $50 on beer there. I tried to stay with cans, so I passed on the Deschutes, M&J and Manny's handles I saw.
I find myself drinking Field 41, AK Icy Bay (meh), and a couple cans of Elysian Dayglow. I know, AB blah blah blah, but Dayglow cans are pretty nice.

 

Hit up Copper Door for some cans and a pint, then shot over to Parkway for a couple pints and some food. Thanks for the suggestions!

Headed up to Seattle tomorrow where I'll hit up some of my favorites Reuben's, Cloudburst (3 growlers to return/exchange lol), and Pine Box!

 

So, what I need is a shortlist of what has opened in the last 2 years (since our last visit) . I did my research back then and our 2 favorite newbies in 2015 were Holy Mountain and Reubens, which we plan to return to. But what new places should top our list next week? Especially interested in places so new that they might not be on the lists in the OP, but still have promise.

 

Those 2 would still top my list. In the last 2 years... hm... Urban Family has really come up, Teku tavern opened, and up north Skookum is producing some of the best beer in the state. Further north Structures is making some great stuff as well (in fact Bham is a worthy beer destination unto itself!). Also just outside Seattle Spada farmhouse opened.

 

As a frequent visitor from Chicago I would add Cloudburst & Seapine to your list (although both are referenced in the OP). Both are in the downtown/SODO area.

Also check out the draft list at Chuck's CD, heading there for some pours is recommended & they seem to always have great variety from the PacNW (particularly Skookum)

 

I gotta say the Structures Fuzz I had at Flatstick last month was not good.

Cloudburst is a must stop these days though. I'm a big fan of the Beer Junction but then again I just like hanging in West Seattle overall. Have brunch at Easy Street, browse records and then head up to Beer Junction.

 

Last minute business trip to Seattle. Looking for available brewery only or limited distrobution bottles and cans. Preference for stouts and porters. Are there any Darkstar varriants left?

 

Coffee and regular are around.

 

yes

 

Landed a bottle and a draft at the brewery.
