Red House

Went to Red House in Renton for the first time. It was delicious, The polenta fries were amazing! I tried on tap Big Al Hopvillian Black IPA which was good balanced both with roasted malt and hops. However it did not compare to The Dayman from Stone. Which I split with a buddy of mine. It was so delicious strong coffee flavor and nicely hopped with Citra Hops I may have to by another bottle!

312

I tried the 312 Urban Wheat from Goose Island. It was light and refreshing. A great beer to enjoy when the sun finally shows up. I also got a limited Release of the Grandfather Raven Stout from Black Raven in Redmond. It grains are roasted to the point that is creates a smokiness flavor. A lot of complex characters, a really good beer!

Elysian

Went to Elysian at dinner, tried their Minotaur Dark Lager. It was really delicious robust flavor with characteristics of toffee. Also my wife bought me a new sweatshirt which I love!

Beer Junction

Last Night went to Beer Junction and had a flight. The 4 Beers I chose were:
Lagunita cappuccino stout
Maritime Salmon ESB
Fort George Roses on Roses
Schooner Exact No Sacc Sour Brown
My favorite of the night was Schooner Exact. There sour had a butter smooth finish which I liked. My Second favorite was Roses on Rose. It was a Bourbon barrel aged Imperial IPA. The Bourbon mild out the hop notes of the IPA but you still got strong floral and Oaked characters. I finished the night with Coronado Brewing coffee stout on nitro which was amazing as I shopped around and came home with Burnsides Sweet Heat(apricot scotch bonnet pepper ale), Epics Rips Rompin Rye Ale, and Fremont's 5 year anniversary ale.
