Visiting Seattle (Spring 2016 Update)

I went to the Flying Bike soft open the Sunday before. Very cool space, really liked the Peach Hef.

 

Also. Is Chuck's CD a bottle shop as well? Mainly just trying to ship beer/pack beer in the suitcase back unless i can sneak out after my curfew with my co-workers. They won't mind if I'm out late, so I will try to post sooner to see who would be around to share a few brews!

 

Yes, one of the best in the area. They will also fill crowlers of just about anything they have on tap at the time.

 

As I'm sure many other are, I'll be flying in for the dG anniversary party the weekend after next and staying a couple nights in Portland. Are there any events/releases going on other than the Great Notion/de Garde collab?

An interesting question for us here in Seattle.

 

Nothing that I know of, but I don't regularly pay attention to events in other cities. Might want to check out some Portland forums.

 

Bottleworks got Sahalie and La Tache bottles today. $30.99 each. Apparently Paul's brother lives in Seattle so he'll bring up shipments from time to time. Nothing regular, but they're definitely licensed for WA distribution.

 

Shame that it's easier to find in NY or SF than it is to find here < 200 miles away.

 

Hey man, don't shoot the messenger. Also, I didn't buy any.

Huh? I thought distribution was OR and ocassionally VT, WA and British Columbia?

 

Just saw it this past weekend at City Beer Store in SF, also posted to their instagram a while back -

And Top Hops in NYC -

 

I'll be in Seattle on Mon. - Wed. Looking forward to trying out some new places. Went to Pine Box last time, and loved it. I have to hit up some breweries this time.

 

Well, none of the visitors will see this thread back on page 2. So, bump.

 

Will be in Seattle in mid October, so will hit up some old favs and check out some new places. I'll look for this thread when the time comes.

 

Was in Seattle for only 24 hours but had a great time. We visited Cloudburst, Holy Mountain, Fremont, and Hillard's. Enjoyed the beer at every stop but really liked Cloudburst and Holy Mountain. Was disappointed to miss the Holy Mountain bottle release by a day. Hope to make it back there in the future. Really liked the simplicity of the inside of their taproom.

 

you'll catch the tail end of fresh hop season. if you're into IPAs, you'll surely have no problem finding some wonderful fresh-hopped IPA.

 

Gotta visit Brouwer's Cafe and Bottleworks.. Crazy bottle lists.. I mean, some of the best I've ever seen.

The RR Deviation was veeeeeery tempting.

 

Yeah! I'm all in for the hop-forward brews!

I went to Brouwers once. The one beer was good once I got it. Service stunk when service did come, as it was quite stuffingly pretentious even though it wasn't all that busy. Maybe they didn't like my looks or something like that. Won't be spending any $$ there any time soon, if ever again. Bottleworks was alright when I was there. I'll probably visit Silver City and Full Throttle and Hilltop Ale House, and definitely Cloudburst as time permits.

 

Anyone been to Canlis recently since they've made an effort with beer? I'm going on Friday night with my wife and some friends.

There's really nothing on the beer list that calls out to me. I hear they have Saison DuPont on draft and do $10 corkage, so I'll probably bring a Cantillon or Ale Apothecary.

 

Hello Seattle BAs. Heading up from Santa Rosa a week from today for 7 days in your lovely city. Mon-Fri staying right by seatac (my company put me up, not my choice), and got a vrbo Fri to Sun up in Wallingford. I have a little experience in Seattle but not enough... Poked around the OP and found some nice looking stuff. Two Questions:

1) Anyone recommend anything decent near Seatac for a few beers at the end of the day? Doesn't need to be the best spot in town id just rather make the most of my time on a bar stool than lose the hour/hour and a half getting into town from my hotel.

2) Poked around on the links and it looks like if I am up in Wallingford my best bets for entertainment are Fremont, Brouwers, Add-a-ball (im a pinball guy, not implying the beers are special...) and bottleworks. Anything else I should try to include in this specific district? (I may go out of my way for Holy Mountain but besides that I would rather spend a lot of time in a small area than waste half my time zig zagging around the city...)

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
(realize its not to be discussed in this thread, but: I will prob post in the ISO:FT and try to set up a few IPs while I am there so if that's your thing maybe check my other posts in a day or two once I get my list together)
