Spring into 2011
Wow it has been a year since this blog was updated. There is so much stuff out there that this particular page has been dormant. But like anything sometimes time away is good. The other things around the pubs have been busy and Facebook and Tweets are active, our calendar sometimes up to date, and emails sometimes answered. It is hard to do it all on these social network sites and at the same time say something new and something relevant. We are sorry we do not always come through.
We hope that the beer we have on tap speaks for us, for in the end that is what it is all about. We could give you updates and pictures of beer lists and tweets of this and that but you must get to the pubs to try what we think are the best beers in the world. We offer an mportant thing, we have only a dozen taps that rotate frequently meaning you will get a very fresh beer. We also clean our lines every week which may seem compulsive but we think necessary with all the weird beers being made these days that are sour, unfiltered, and made with crazy components.
We will try to keep you informed and occasionally revise this blog. But get on down to the Pubs because this Spring will be very exciting. Seattle Beer Week is right around the corner.

Seattle Beer Week at your Neighborhood Pubs May13-23, 2010
Spring has made its calendar appearance but outside it feels very much like a wintry day. Weather or not the second Beer Week takes place May 13th-May 23rd. There are so many exciting events in places all over town. The Beer Week Beer was made at Hales this year and it is a Double IPA that is fantastic. It will be released in pubs and alehouses around town on the 13th.
At your neighborhood pub we will be celebrating craft beers with our local and out of town friends. We are very excited to Begin the week at the Hopvine with Port Townsend on Saturday at 7pm. Carter has become one of the very talented Northwest brewers. We will showcase a cask of his Hopdiggity along with some other special ales on tap. Thanks to Kim and Guy who have nurtured a fantastic business. On Sunday the 16th we are fortunate to have Black Raven Brewing at the Hopvine. After only one year Beaux and the awesome folks in Redmond have made a name for the themselves by creating beers that have become legendary already.
Find your way to the Latona for a celebration of Sierra Nevada on Monday the 17th. It will be our traditional Brewer Appreciation Night and there is no brewery deserving more respect and acclaim than our Friends from Chico. We will be serving some amazing beer and we are excited about the night. Stop on by.
At the Fid we will be showcasing New Belgium on Tuesday the 18th for some fantastic beer along with chocolate and cheese and bread and a variety of craft beers. That will be followed up by a barbecue on Wednesday the 19th at 12pm sponsored by Left Hand, Ninkasi, and Lazyboy.
That evening you are invited to the Unknown Brewery Tour. We talked to four brewers from the hinterlands that rarely have their beer out of their small town. But for Beer Week they agreed to showcase their beer in Seattle... only if we picked up the kegs. So off we go to the far reaches of the State to find unusual and wonderful craft beer. Try it at 7pm.
Finally, we are back at the Latona for a traditional cask on the bar night on May 20th at 7pm. This will be our fourth or fifth of these cask-a- things and they are always crazy. You are however guaranteed a fun time.
There it is, some fun nights for you at your neighborhood pubs.
See you during Beer Week
Cheers

Scarcity Brings Desire
Welcome to 2010
The craft frenzy carries on into 2010 and most local breweries are trying to keep up by expanding their often undersized facility. At the same time they are often running out of beer creating a push for product that hasn't been seen in a long time. Some standouts like The Famous Pliney from Russian River Brewing have created an almost eerie demand. The customers are often frothing at the mouth on mere mention. It is exciting for everyone who seeks a quality beer in their pint.
In the old days it was Snowcap or Sierra Celebration creating the scarcity buzz, now small breweries can use the heightened demand to fuel interest in the products they make.
It is all good for craft beer folks
Cheers to the New Year.
