Seattle

[libbey]

Also anyone who doesn’t go to the Masonry on an random off night Tuesday is doing it wrong

 

[wethorseblanket]

I work across the street, so I get to pop in all the time.

Slowboat's anniversary lineup looks mighty nice.

 

[paysse1]

I've been to Farmhouse Fest, Zwanze, and the Anchorage event and was able to sit down for the latter two, but I hear you. Have there been other events that were uncomfortable? It gets crowded but I guess it never really bothered me and I hate lines and crowds.

No, no other events there have been anything other than awesome. I think mostly new money loves to ***** on the internet. The SBW Floodland event was a sort of abberation. Nobody could have handled that any better than they did. Fremont Masonry is usually extremely chill and has a ridiculous taplist/bottle list. To judge them based on one event with insane turnout is missing the opportunity to enjoy one of the best beer bars in the country.

Had a bottle of Wander Vanilla Emissary tonight. Fantastic stuff - no flabby super-thick sugar bomb, just malt and roast into barrel into vanilla finish. If you see any about town, pick one up.

 

[nachojon]

If anyone is at E9 this weekend and can grab me that Sotilége I have $, dG or whatevers.

Does Garden Path see any Seattle distro?

Small amount of distro, but Bottleworks definitely had some a couple months back, and Chuck’s may have gotten bottles as well.

Thanks for the tip. Got the dry table mead I wanted and picked up a special herbs while I was at it. Is special herbs a shelf beer in 2018?

 

[andrewdrinks]

That dry table mead - you can drink by the pint and pretend it’s La Croix

All over the place in Portland right now. Love it.

 

[swivelhips1]

This mirage / matchless helles lager is very good.

Had it on draft at Wander over thankgiving, didn't know there was bottles. Their barrel aged dark beers are generally great.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Wayfinder in Seattle awwww yeah.

 

[wethorseblanket]

Anyone make it to the Stumbling Monk last night? I did not.

Unfortunately not, but I did drink a Don't Tell Rob IPA at Cloudburst.

 

[andrewdrinks]

The list at the Jester King Masonry event ****s.

 

[andrewdrinks]

Also there are these in the mix

 

[cysiam1]

Can anybody tell me if wifi is available Reuben's, Machine House, or Fremont?

 

[beerscenes]

Can anybody tell me if wifi is available Reuben's, Machine House, or Fremont?

Reuben's yes. I think Fremont as well, though it's been a while since I've checked. Not sure about MH as I've only been a couple times.

 

[cysiam1]

Thanks! Should have looked at the website more closely, MH lists wifi.

 

[andrewdrinks]

MH in Georgetown has WiFi. No idea on CH.

 

[rrryanc]

Fremont is a no.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Fremont is a no.

They're very adamant about never having it, too.

Wifi is great but Fremont will never offer it. Good beer, good friends and a place to enjoy both. A respite. Unplugged.

 

[litheum94]

Double Mountain does the same, and I just really don't get it. Sure, you're cutting out people bringing their laptops and "working," but I find the idea that not providing wifi will keep people off of their phones pretty laughable.

 

[OakedCanuck]

They're very adamant about never having it, too.

They're also adamant about not making a decent IPA.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I would've agreed but I think Mod Pod is pretty solid.

Last time I was there I was killing some time between meetings and needed to do some work. So I tethered my phone. Wasn't as convenient as regular wifi, but certainly didn't keep me from my computer/phone.

The other option would have been to head somewhere with wifi, so ya.

Episode 195 - Steve Luke, Cloudburst Brewing

Finally getting around to listening to this Steal This Beer episode with Steve. Good times.

 

[xnicknj]

Anything fun happening Saturday or Sunday? Heading up for a couple nights tomorrow morning.

Probably worth going to Chuck's CD for their anniversary.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Yep. They'll have a keg of Arthur at CD. Bunch of Great Notion but since you're from Portland that's kinda pointless.

 

[infiniteloop]

Does Garden Path see any Seattle distro?

Beer Junction has maybe 4 SKUs

 

[FoudreGuy]

Chucks and Bottleworks have their bottles as well.

 

[andrewdrinks]

Draft is around town - Teku Tavern has had them on tap pretty reliably the last couple months.

 

[abawol01]

About to head to Holy Mountain if any of you fine folks would like to meet up for a beer. If not, **** your mother.

Sorry, I was busy drinking beers on the viaduct.

 

[abawol01]

It is possible I saw you from afar.

Dammit, was there a spot serving beers out there today, or was it BYO?

 

[FoudreGuy]

BYO on the sly. Crushed a Sky Kraken.

It was a great time up there, bittersweet but very glad we went.

 

[FoudreGuy]

3F easily available in Seattle? What a time to be alive.
