This last weekend was great for me. I had my mom in town for her first visit to Seattle and I think we did alright. Had a trip to the Market and Pike's Brewing on Saturday and Black Raven, Bottleworks and Brouwer's on Sunday. I was hoping to get Stone's Vertical Epic 10-10-10 at Bottleworks but they didn't have it, but a Firestone Oaktoberfest was a nice consolation. I also have to give some good words to Black Raven and their Wet Hop Ale, go by and grab one if you dare.
On another note, I was poking around the web and found this
blog by Patrick Rue of
The Bruery. It is a great resource of info for someone thinking of starting up a brewery. We all know how successful The Bruery has become and it is great to see the ups and downs of a start up and to see how it can be done. I posted the link to the section of the blog related to the start up, but you check out the rest if you wish.
Finally, I wanted to give some exposure to a new beer project by blogger
Beer and Nosh. He has started a project with a friend called
Almanac Beer Co. and they have a new beer release coming out in a couple months. It is a Belgian Blonde aged in barrels and fermented with a variety of berries. It looks like a great new venture and can't wait to try it out.
Jesse has had to change the name of their brewery from "Old Oak" to "Almanac Beer Company". Just thought you should know in case you wanted to update the information in your blog. http://www.almanacbeer.com/
