It was raining cats and dogs when we arrived in Seattle, but boy, is it ever beautiful here. I almost forgot what fall looks like; all the turning leaves and bright colors. Our flight was without incident, just the way we like it. We picked up the rental car and were able to check into one of the better Seattle luxury hotels and get a room with a great view. We were on the 25th floor, really nice, and we really appreciated the letter informing us about being up so high that the wind may cause noise.

Our first stop was to a pub, the Pike Seattle Brewing Company. I had the Pike’s Entire Wood Aged Stout and my mate had the Kilt Lifter Ruby Ale. Both beers were outstanding. Next I tried the Pike Tandem Double Ale and my mate tried the Red Barn Fire Ale, this beer came from using Washington State Apple cider. So far, we haven’t found a beer we don’t like. We went back to our room to watch the weather move by. That was our first experience of staying in a room so high up. We liked it so much that we decided from this moment on that we will only book hotel rooms that are on the 25th floor or higher.

Our 2nd day was totally awesome. We began at the Brouwers. It’s a renowned brewery featuring 60 different beers on tap, 3 cask conditioned beers and 3 nitro. I began with the Black Cherry Stout and it was supreme. My mate began with the Boundary Bay Oak Aged Cabin Fever. He said it was good. Next, I tried the Elysian Haleakala Sour, if you can’t tell by now, I love sour beer. Unfortunately, this sour beer left me not so sour, but I finished it anyway. Mate finished with the Red Hook Triple. Of course Seattle was having a Washington Beer Fest, so the bar, a medieval cave like place was pretty full of people from all over.

Needless to say, we didn’t get back to our lovely high-rise hotel room until the bars closed. Don’t worry though, we did eat tons of crab in-between our beer tasting.
