Beer Tasting

Last weekend went out and tried some different breweries in the greater Seattle area. First off stopped at Machine House Brewery in Georgetown. This brewery does everything English Session Style Ale in cask condition and poured out with pump handles. I recommend the Bitter. Second went to Emerald City Brewing. I have to say I was a little disappointed. Their Flagship beer Dottie had an infection in the line that made the beer taste almost like a sour ale which I know they were not trying to do. Thirdly we went to Reuben's Brewing in Ballard which we liked the best. The had several options to try. They had a lot that would benefit from bottling and being aged. I recommend the American Rye Ale and American Brown. Finally we went to NW Peaks home of the grassy beer most of their beers had a grass flavor that didn't quite hit the palette well. There only enjoyable beer was the ginger pale ale. Experienced new beer at two great breweries over the weekend, what more could you ask for. I don't know maybe a 100% great experience. :) Proust!
