Beer/ by Warren Peterson, Corporate Sous Chef

(Editor’s note: I started a new link category for Wine, Beer, and Spirits that you’ll see to your right. To help get me started with some beer links, I spoke to our in-house beer expert, Warren Peterson.  Here are his comments:)

Pike Beer- they have conditioned cask ale at all times.  Naturally carbonated and hand-pumped, old world style.

Elysian Brewing Co. on Capitol Hill- I like the room, the ambiance- it’s a good mix of people. They make the beer on the premises.  Always good and creative craft beer.

Here’s a hidden gem for beer-heads (Note: it’s not listed under the links because they don’t have a website): Kiss Cafe in Ballard.  100 beers in bottle and can- it’s mindblowing!  Quirky, off-the-beaten track.  I go there all the time.

    Seattle is so lucky to have great micros and fun spots to drink them. Check out the new tasting room at Maritime Pacific in Ballard. In West Seattle I like to visit Beverage Place for a great selection of delicious beers and my favorite part is, they are dog-friendly! My current fav is Red Chair by Deschutes, it’s only available for a short time so I’m drinking as fast as I can.

    I love beer! I’ll have to check out the Kiss Cafe…have never heard of it! Other great spots for unique taps are the Uber Tavern and Duck Island Alehouse on Aurora, as well as the local-centric Naked City Alehouse on Greenwood.

    Thanks,Bruce. I think Warren should write a beer column for the blog, maybe 2X a month. Wouldn’t that be great?
