Seattle LawDawg Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) As an avid hop head I gotta disagree. Deschutes makes great beer but I don't think that Qualye Springs is one of their better beers. A couple of lesser known breweries in your area (if you are from Seattle) that make great IPA's are Snoqualmie Falls, Whidey Island (I think that is their name, they have an IPA called Diamond Naught), and Boundary Bay. 1018400[/snapback] Ok, I was going to say that you are quite obviously delusional but you brought up another of my favorite breweries so we'll let it go. I live all of 5 minutes away from Snoqualmie Falls Brewery. Their IPA is very good...as is there PGA (or Snoqualmie Summit when served at the ski resort). Twiley was out a few years ago and almost got us thrown out of the Alaskan Brewery. Lesson learned: If the SnowCap is out of season, don't repeatedly demand it. I can't leave Mac & Jacks off this list either: http://www.cascadebrewersguild.org/macnjack.asp Edited September 25, 2005 by Seattle LawDawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehand Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) All the beers I have in heavy rotation have been mentioned here, (Redhook ESB, Deschutes: Mirror Pond Ale or Black Butte Porter, Alaskan Amber or Summer Ale, & Mac and Jacks African Amber from right here in Redmond) but I couple more I like: Bridgeport Blue Heron http://www.bridgeportbrew.com/bp-brews-blueheron.html Lagunitas - Pretty high Quality, I like their IPA http://www.lagunitas.com/ Northcoast http://northcoastbrewing.com/rasputin.html Old Rasputin Imperial Stout is Awesome Edited: Good Call Unateve! & if you're in Whitefish MT, Stop by Great Northern Brewing Co. http://www.blackstarbeer.com/newsite/welcome.htm 4 rotating seasonal taps, consistantly high quality By the way, a question for you NW folks: There was a beer out maybe 3 or 4 years ago that was called "Sammamish Brown trout Ale" or something similar, I really liked it & drank the HECK out of it the entire year, but I haven't seen it since. Does anyone remember this beer? Edited September 25, 2005 by Bonehand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been an one shot or seasonal, as their website has a "Steelie Brown Ale" but It doesn't look like what I remember. I had their Scullers IPA at NW Brewfest & wasn't dazzled. Logo was better than the beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
