Visiting Seattle (Spring 2016 Update)

Bambino's is probably only about a 10-12 minute walk from there. Great tap and bottle selection.

 

Old Stove brewing will be opening in the Pike Place Market addition...soon. Report to follow.

 

Bumper cars!

 

Hey pacific northwesterners! I'll be in Seattle for a few hours this Tuesday and am hoping to find some west coast brews to ship back home. Any can't miss bottles I should keep an eye out for?

Thanks and cheers!

 

I was there in January and I enjoyed Big Time Brewery and the selection available at Bottleworks.

 

I will be in Seattle near Pike Place for work in May (16/17th), but with NO car! Any shops that are worth an uber to? Most do not seem centrally located. I do see that will also be beer week.... I head to Vancouver via the train there after if anyone has any MUSTS I'm game to hear them too!

 

Which one?

 

Pear Delicatessen in the market isn't a bottle shop but they have a great selection. Cloudburst brewing is right by the market as well, and they're brewing really tasty stuff.

 

Unfortunately, Cloudburst won't be open while you're here (they're closed Monday and Tuesday) but it would definitely be worth Ubering to Holy Mountain. Pear Market is a good suggestion for bottles. It wouldn't be too difficult to get to Chuck's CD either.

 

Canada style. Will be heading there via train......

 

Thanks friends! Uber to the Mountain it is Yea- I heard Chuck's is great, i might be on a time crunch and flying solos as my co-workers are not on my level! Twisting their arms to get us too some breweries though!

 

Hit Brassneck up there. @JonnyBeers can give ya some more localized advice.

You'll be passing through my town, but won't have time to hit any of our breweries. Your loss.

 

@beertunes Thanks man. Didn't know if the Canadians drank like us!

 

Van City has quite a nice scene going on. Central City is a favorite of mine, you can find their stuff around with no trouble, and there's a growing bunch of breweries. You'll want to check out the Alibi Room.

 

My wife and I just did the same thing, train from Seattle up to Vancouver. Hit up many places in Vancouver, and we found the Alibi Room to be the best spot, by far!

 

Old Stove just opened in The Market this past weekend and is open daily. I haven't made it there yet but perhaps someone else in here will be able to recommend a visit (or dissuade you from one).

 

Ya we've got all kinds of things going now. Four Winds just bought 8 foudres! Bump the Vancouver thread in Canada forums if you want a broader update, quite a few BC peeps on here now

 

Old Stove is worth the visit. 6 or 7 styles to open,I had 4 and all were solid.Its walking distance from the Edgewater,and their food offerings are reasonable and tasty. They have great waitstaff-even though it was packed,people were taken care of in short order. They have sliding windows that can be compacted so the room can be opened to the sidewalk. A very cool display of historic beer cans and a cool wall mural that fools the eye-you'll have to see it yourself!

 

Anyone else make it to Ravenna Brewing over the weekend? It was too packed on Friday, but I made it back on Sunday and it was very cool. Nice, cozy neighborhood vibe. Pale ale is quite good. Vanilla Porter.....not so much.
