Who loves Washington? and Washington Beer? We are all well aware that Washington brews some of the greatest beer in the nation, and for that matter the world. Tomorrow we invite you to come on down and hoist a pint in honor of our great state. Lets all say a big thank you to the great brewers that have decided to call Washington home, for without them the long winter would be that much longer. See you tomorrow.

Who loves hops? We do!!! The cooler is filling up as we speak, and we are getting ready for lupulin to fall from the heavens and descend upon us all. Hopfest starts Friday September 9th at 11am. We expect their to be a line. So plan accordingly.



I hate to admit it, but fall is coming. But lets admit, Fall just happens to be a great season for cycling endeavors of the Cyclocross variety. Cyclocross just happens to be a favorite of the Belgians. For the past couple of seasons we have been a sponsor of a great local Cross series, MFG. On Tuesday September 6th the upstairs will be closed and we will be hosting the series annual opening party upstairs starting at 7pm.



If thats not enough for you. Right after Hopfest on Tuesday September 13th, at 6pm we are having a Big Al Brewers night. We will be pouring their Ipa, Pale, Irish Red, Brougham Bitter, Smoked Porter, Kolsch, Weissbier, and a sour beer of their choosing. Come on down and sample some of White Center’s finest.

We got some events coming up…



For one Hopfest is just around the corner. It starts Friday, September 9th and runs through the end of the weekend. The cooler is filling up with delicious hoppy goodness. The image above is one of the possible t shirt logos for this year. As we have in past years there will be a special menu, we will be serving Frog legs, Kangaroo, and Rabbit, hoppy animals to compliment the hoppy beers.



Thursday, October 6th we are having a Bayern Brewing night starting at 6pm. The brewery will be bringing in 5 beers in wooden casks and tapping them on the bar top. The beers pouring will be Dopplebock, Dark Hefe, Pils, Oktoberfest, and Amber.

Attention!!!Attention!!!


I have an announcement. I just got off the phone with a one Mr Tomme Arthur, shortly after that I received an email with the list of the beers that he is sending our way. I am not going to list all of them here and now, but you can expect to see some of his year round beers on draft like, Lost Abbey Devotion, Lost and Found, Port Wipeout and Mongo Double Ipa, Port Summer Pale and Shark Attack . You can also expect to see Serpents Stout, Old and Older Viscosity, and Angels Share. I will tell you that Tomme did dig deep in to his cellar and sent Anit Ox ( it was here very shortly for Sour Fest), his Framboise, and Saints Devotion an all Brett version of Devotion. I hesitate to list all the beers cause that just isn’t fun…come on down and see what else he has sent our way, I promise you will not be dissappointed.

Who loves hops?


Really in this city, not liking hops is more of an issue. We just tapped our keg of Black Raven’s Wisdomseeker Double Ipa. I just had a glass and it is delicious. I assure you this one will not last very long. So let your boss know you are leaving early, or get a sudden case of the Tuesday’s, find some way out of the office, or the house.

In other news…. Mark your calenders for Wednesday, August 10th, 5pm, its Port/Lost Abbey night here, we will be tapping 25 different Port/Lost Abbey beers. Tomme Arthur will be here to celebrate with all of us.

A while back we received some barrel samples from 4 Roses Whiskey. Matt and Matt got together and sampled them all and decided on one. Well a week or so ago we received the bottled version of the barrel they decided on. It comes in at 61.2 percent alcohol and spent 8year and 8 months in the barrel, we have all decided that it is best with a few cubes added to bring out the floral notes. We are also in the planning stages of a 4 Roses event that is tenatively scheduled for Thursday, June 7th. More details to come. We also have plans for the barrel itself….look for something special down the road, possibly Big Wood.
