Just got back from 5 days in Seattle and had a great time. We didn't rent a car so we had to stay pretty close to downtown but we still toured 4 different breweries and I managed to find a store right across the street from Pike Place that had a pretty decent selection of bottles and cans.
The 4 breweries we visited were:
Georgetown: They make Manny's Pale Ale which is the best selling craft beer in the state and it is available on draft only which is pretty crazy. With September being the Hop harvest, we caught a few of the fresh hop beers that were left. Eddie Haskell was Georgetown's Fresh Hop India Pale Lager and it was pretty good
Big Al's Brewery: Very small brewery and very meh
Pyramid: They have very little production in WA now and the limited releases (brewery only) were meh
Fremont Brewing: This place was awesome. We had lunch here on Saturday and did a tasting and bought a pint. They just released "The Sister" which was good but I preferred The Brother (both DIPAs). The Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal stout was very good, and they had Cowiche Canyon (IPA) regular, with Citra Hops, and with Mosiac and all three were incredible.
The Bottle shop I found was awesome. The prices on the local beers are crazy cheap and they had stuff in stock that I wasn't expecting. I randomly took this picture, and I get that the newest Black Butte is a shelf turd in Houston, but seeing anything FW in a box in Houston sitting on a shelf??
We didn't have time to check a bag so I didn't bring any bottles home but I had some pretty good stuff in the hotel room at night thanks to that shop.
