Naked City Brewing has a location!!!!!

[Brewtopia]

Visited the boys at Naked City tonight. Talked with Brewtopia a bit a the bar. They had a cask of one of their own beers (can't remember the name) and it was fantastic. Great story and great beer. I'll be back for sure! Nice job Brewtopia and thanks for the great beer!

We did indeed pour The Big Lebrewski White Russian Imperial Stout on cask last night. For those that missed it, we will be pouring The Big Lebrewski and Bing Spiced Cherry Old Ale at the Winter Beer Fest this weekend at Hale's. We will be debuting our beers on tap at Naked City this Tuesday. We will be pouring Yankee Drifter Golden Ale, Hoptari 644 Fresh Hop Harvest Ale, Big Lebrewski and Hoptrocity Imperial Rye IPA.

Mosa came by today and we brewed Une Terreur Sainte Tripel which we will be pouring at Belgianfest January 23rd.

I apologize for not being around much lately but it's been crazy busy. I appeciate everyone's kind words and look forward to meeting more HBT'ers at Naked City in the future.

Cheers!

NAKED CITY TAPHOUSE OPENS BREWERY

Seattle’s Newest Brewery Ready to Debut Beers


SEATTLE, Wash. (Dec. 08 2009) - After 13 months of hard labor, Naked City Taphouse finally gives birth to a beautiful baby brewery. Naked City will be hosting a release party to celebrate on Tuesday, December 8 at 4:00pm. Co-owners Don Webb and Donald Averill have been busy brewing and have four beers ready to share including Hoptari 644, Bing, and The Big Lebrewski which were all well received at recent local beer festivals. Yankee Drifter will be on draft for the first time at the event.



Naked City was fueled from a mutual love of beer by the owners who both have a long history of brewing and appreciating their passion, beer. Don and Donald can’t imagine a better job than serving beer, talking about beer, and tasting beer day after day. They are very grateful to the community for their overwhelming support through the process of building the new establishment and allowing them to follow their dreams. Naked City offers a setting where the experienced beer enthusiast as well as craft beer novice can relax and enjoy a mutual love in great beer.

[Jim Karr]

Congrats on a too-cool accomplishment!

 

[ReeseAllen]

I finally sat down and powered through this whole thread. Now I feel like I am qualified to finally head over and say hello. I operate my little 1/3-barrel home brewery (with just over 1 barrel of fermentation space!) less than a mile north and have walked by this place countless times when in a hurry, but still haven't visited, hard as that is to believe.

Don, I'd like to drop by and shake your hand sometime; what time of the afternoon/evening do you tend to be around?

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

Wow guys, great job. When I move to the West Coast I will be stopping in...

 

[splobucket]

Do you think we could get a flow schematic of the brewery? I too would like to open up my own brewery some day, but for now it's just a dream.

Edit: Finally got a chance to read through the whole thread! Very inspiring, unfortunately, it's quite a distance from here in Florida!

 

[MMTG]

I'll be in SEA tomorrow 01/7/10 and cant wait to try out all the Naked brews!

 

[velosim]

Wow - Just spent a few hours reading through all 40 pages (should be studying for the Bar exam, instead studying about opening a bar/brewery...). I'm very impressed and very jealous. Just recently moved back to Seattle (Ballard area) and will certainly be heading over there as soon as possible. Can;t wait to try out the Naked City brews and see the place.

 

[Mike B]

I went to Naked City when I was back in Seattle over the holidays. Great space, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a GREAT selection. Well done, Brewtopia!

 

[joety]

And recently named one of Draft Magazine's 150 best beer bars in America. Congrats Don!!!

 

[ggoodman]

SWIMBO and I will be there late may cant wait to drop buy. Gona pop the question while we're there so it should be a fun trip.

 

[Brewsmith]

I'll be up in Seattle again this week for a wedding. It loos like I might be able to stop in Thursday night. I may have the family with me, maybe not, but if anyone wants to join me for a beer or two, maybe we can meet up. Don I hope to say hi again, and I wish the AHA rally was a week or so earlier.

 

[vonnieda]

Finally got a chance to check out Naked City over the weekend. Great place! Really nice atmosphere, great tap list, great food and all around a nice experience. Bonus: They had Boulevard Wheat on tap which I have not had since moving to Seattle from Kansas City a few years ago. My wife was a huge fan as this is her favorite beer. We'll definitely be back!

 

[jbrookeiv]

Very cool. I have the same dream, your place will definitely serve as inspiration.

 

[Benjibbad]

Sitting at the bar now. Great job! The ace in the hole is choice.

 

[tolip_ck1]

Going to fly in tomorrow from Texas and stop by for a few, any recommendations?

 

[niquejim]

Actually, he's pouring at the GABF this weekend

That's a fact. Don and Donald will likely both be in Denver pouring at the GABF. But hell, if you are in town Tolip, stop in anyway. Naked City is a great bar. The taps switch in and out quickly, but ask your server/bartender for a recomendation. They are pretty knowlegeable, and there is always great stuff on the taps.

Cheers

 

[tolip_ck1]

If I was "smart" I would have gone to GABF too!!!!

Well I'll be on my way to SEA, can't wait to see the place.

 

[tolip_ck1]

Great place, had the IPA and a stout. Really nice place.

 

[PirateBrewer]

Just read this thread from front to back and all I have to say is congrats! That's awesome and inspiring that you are able to follow your dreams and gives hope for the rest of us! Keep up the awesome work! I've always wanted to do a NW beer tour and Naked City just gives me another excuse!!

 

[Bearcat Brewmeister]

Congratulations on the nice place! I am in town for a few days and had the fortune to be able to stop in for some quick beers. The DIPA and Imperial Cream Stout were fantastic - glad I took the bus!

 

[KC10Chief]

Wow! I just read this whole thread. I've always wondered what it would take to start my own brewpub someday when I retire from the Air Force. Now, I have even more questions! HA! Anyways, I pass through Seattle a few times a year on my way in and out of Alaska. I'll stay the night next time and drop by! Also, if you wanted some art on your walls, you could let local artists put their stuff up in your pub and sell it there. You could get new art all the time and new artists would have a venue to sell their stuff! There's a cafe here in Anchorage that does that. Anyways, you obviously don't need my help. I'm just throwing ideas out there!

 

[joety]

Congrats once again to Don for being named a Top 100 Beer Bar in America two years running in this month's issue of Draft Magazine.

 

[jwheelz]

WOW AMAZING!!!! I'm only 2mo old in the home brewing community but just came accross this page today.

I just so happen to live 2hrs north on Whidbey Island! The SWMBO and I are on our way, cant wait to meet you Don and see the place in person. See you soon!

 

[Fid]

Pumped that I stumbled across this. I've been going to Naked City longer than I've been home brewing... Had no idea you were a HBT member. Thanks for opening such a fantastic taphouse and brewery, you guys are always #1 on my list when its time to find some new brews! Maybe I'll catch you there sometime.

P.S. Pickled Hop Shoots f-ing rule!

 

[Fid]

I briefly met Don tonight at Naked City and I realized that I forgot to let him know how I felt about "The Big Lebrewski Cream Stout"....

To sum it up... G'Damn fantastic! If you're in the Greater Seattle area, make sure you hit up Naked City and grab yourself a schooner of this little bit of heaven!

Cheers Don,

-Chris

 

[McKBrew]

I feel bad because I haven't really made it over there since it opened. The one day I stopped in they were still closed, but I did sample one of the first batches of the Big Lebrewski.

I keep hoping he will be able to start bottling and distributing soon.

 

[Fid]

Its well worth the ferry ride... Hit up Seattle for Naked City, and while you're at it, make a weekend of it. Cask Festival is coming up in early April at the Seattle Center, between that and Naked City, I think you've got more than enough reasons to make the trip.
