Good Beer Experience: Maritime

Eh, you're a couple weeks off, Lew. The Helles was fresher when it was still in the tanks. Still working on the Moonglow.

I'll fill you in on Wednesday. Maybe.

Don't mention it. That's what pals are for. Me, I was downing painfully fresh Snoqualmie Falls IPA last night, and followed up with EKU 28 for dessert. Very nice of Washington's lege to lift that silly 8% ABW limit on beer. Very nice indeed. The same pub that had the EKU 28 (on draught) also had bottles of Unibroue 11 and DeuS "Champagne-aged" strong blonde Belgian ale. A nice barley wine was on offer from a tiny brewery out near Poulsbo, but hell, what else was necessary after that EKU 28?

My beer experience this last weekend was limited to locked-up closed-early airport bars and stale Prima Pils, so let me just say that ALL OF YOU SUCK!

New batch, bitch. And a better one, from what I've tasted. "Still working" on the Moonglow; what's that mean? "I'm scared to try such a big mean beer, waaaaah!"

Yeah, well, I might let you. Besides, who you kidding? Like you'll go to Brooklyn again.

Y'know what, Don? I can live with this!

Y'know, Lew, I can too. Thing is, Bob's a local pal, and and some point in the future, we're gonna be drinkin', and I won't hear the end of this one. Last weekend, though, it musta sucked to be him.

I had the misfortune to happen upon that place 3-4 years ago. Terrible, terrible problems with the beers. The only one that wasn't obviously infected had a weird perfumy hop thang going on that got really old really fast. The food wasn't anything to write home about, either.

...and can't/won't dump bad batches...

There is more than one way to interpret that statement. (Hers, not yours.)

Geez, where is this ?

I'm pretty sure there is more than one way to interpret BOTH of those statements.

How so? It was in the tanks in late August, for an early-September release.

Twelve bottles, plus all the other beer stored at home, plus other beer events, bitch. A beer that good, you don't guzzle three and four of in one day, you spread them out. Bitch.

Tease.

It's beer, Lew. Are you seriously saying I won't "travel" for beer?

BTW, your book is taking up way too much space at the local B&N.

I had the SF IPA at a steakhouse in West Seattle. The EKU 28 was at the Full Moon in West Seattle, just a couple doors north of the intersection of California and Fauntleroy. Wanna meet up for a beer? The Full Moon has, due to the diligence and hard work of the owners, become one of the best beer bars in the Northwest. Good but not overly long tap selection, great bottled beers too.

This would be the Full Moon Saloon, at the intersection of California and Fauntleroy in West Seattle.

Traveling the world by bottle - again? Oh, the humanity!

As goes the author, so goes the book.
