Check Brewtopia's sig.
We gotta be past (or at leased nearing) the 100 day mark on this baby... Any updates for us? How's business? new beers?... are there neked chicks running around the pub yet? Any upcoming events we need to know about?
Either business is so damn good BT doesn't have time for us any more or he's just hiding...waiting... to hatch his evil plan..... to rule the brewing world

dude, that place is sick! great work and fun thread to read. i've got some buddies in the seattle area, i'll be sure to send them your way!
Finally getting around to writing up how great of a trip we had in Seattlemainly to visit fellow HBTer, tour guide, beer expert, and awesome taphouse owner, Brewtopia.
We got into Seattle in the afternoon, and made our way to the Taphouse pretty much right after we checked into our hotel. Don met us at the door and immediately started us with a steady flow of awesome beer. Of course my first one was Naked City Dubbel, OMFG what an awesome beer. Now I know why he chose this to be on tap first. It kicks serious butt. Unfortunately, I only got one, because fortunately Don had other plans as far as showing us other great beers. That first night is a blur, but it was such an awesome time. The next day, SWMBO and I (with a right nasty hangover) toured Redhook and the Chateau St. Michelle winery. Beautiful place. Later that day, we had the extreme pleasure of participating in a beer dinner sponsored by Collins Pub. The beers were featured by Lost Abbey and Port Brewing. It was an amazing experience. I posted a blurry pic of the menu below. It was incredible food and incredible beer. We also got to see Dons awesome wife again. Shes a trip.
The next day, Don met us at Pikes Market and totally went all out as tour guide. It was so cool. We started at Pikes Pub, got to schmooze with the brewmaster a bit (Im convinced Don knows EVERYONE in Seattle if it has to do with beer), got an awesome brewery tour (SWMBO even got a complimentary sixxer of Kilt Lifter plucked right off the bottling line), and then we headed to Elysian, where again Dons first stop was to chat with the brewmaster who happened to be eating lunch at the bar. We got some more amazing beers and a friggin awesome lunch (Mushroom and Steak Stroganoff) and another brewery tour.
What impresses me about Don is that he is so generous and so gracious--he didn't have to take time from his busy schedule to be such an awesome host guiding us around--but what most impressed me was that he always introduced SWMBO and myself to whomever he was talking to, no matter the status of that person. That is really cool. Plus, Id bet he has forgotten more about beer than Ill ever know, and I highly doubt he forgets much. He knows so much about different beers hes hadit is truly an awesome experience just chatting with him.
Now, more on Naked City. Pictures dont do it justice. It is exactly how I imagined it would be, eclectic, classy, and yet completely down to Earth. The staff there was totally awesomehelpful from the word go and you could tell everyone really enjoyed working there. I told Don it is a good sign when the employees hang out there on their off-time. I can't wait until he starts brewing. I'd clean the mash-tun anytime!
We totally fell in love with Seattle, and I guarantee I'd be a regular at Naked City--it is a perfect place. The "Don's" really have something special.
Truly awesome visit!

Beer, not rocket chemistry
What a great write up. I have been joansin to get out there myself, but now I really am motivated. I am glad to hear it is going well - like any of us had a doubt. Thanks Dude!
I like that it's in a really cool sorta bohemian section of town.
BTW: Was it just me or does downtown Seattle blow as far as nightlife is concerned? I'm going to try a different hotel next time where I can walk to someplace decent.

Yeah downtown is not the place to be for good beer-related nightlife. Send one of us an email next time and we can point you in the right direction.

Great thread, I would have to say my favorite on here since I have joined. Awesome job, very inspiring. One of these days when I make it to more than the Seattle airport on the way to Alaska I will definitely be stopping by. I wish you nothing but the best!

I met Don at the Exbeerience beer festival on Saturday, their Dubbel he was pouring was excellent.
We we're planning on going to the zoo on sunday and stopping at the pub before or after, but my daughter had a rough night on saturday for some reason (I'll blame it on molars) so we decided to pack it up and drive home.
Can't wait to actually make it out to the pub and sit down and enjoy more of the beers they are pouring. It'll be especially nice once they are pouring more of their own beer

Finally had the chance to visit Naked City and I think this sums it up :rockin:
Beer: Great selection on tap and the list was updated as soon as there was a change in what was on tap. I also enjoyed the beer menu placed on all of the tables that listed what was on tap and what's coming up. I'm a Tap House Grill regular and am getting sick of hearing "we don't have that" when its on the menu. The Local Hero and the Dubbel were top notch.
Food: I'm not a vegetarian but my girlfriend is. Most restaurants only offer one or two vegetarian options and after a few trips she's bored with the menu. Having so many vegetarian options, an awesome menu for the meat eater including the buffalo chicken sandwich and not serving 2x the food the average person needs was perfect!

I was just at the Booneville Beer fest and while there was talking with a girl that I have met in the past. She mentioned that she had moved to Seattle from here and started working with a brewery. I asked which one.
Naked City.
I was like, hey, that guy is on a forum that I belong to.
HBT she says
Yeah! That's it.
So needless to say, just another connection in this great puzzle of life.

Awesome! I just read the thread and it was awesome to see the progress. Good work. I'm in Seattle a lot for work, so I'll be sure to stop by. Who do I ask for (or should I just ask for Brewtopia?) to say hey and shake the hand of the man living the dream?
How's business been?

I'll answer to just about anything. Seriously though, be sure and introduce yourself. It's very cool to meet fellow HBT members!
