Nothing beats the Northwest

Every time I go to Seattle I have my itinerary planned out, somewhat, well it's unintentional.  I just have those places that I love going.  Maybe its comfortable, maybe I feel like I get the best service or maybe, I'm just getting more and more set in my ways in my old age.

I can't really determine any one reason I love Seattle so much.  Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's the birthplace of Starbucks coffee, maybe it's the fresh seafood or traveling by ferry to Bainbridge Island.  It could the fantastic dining or the great shopping all within walking distance of the many great downtown hotels.  Maybe it's just the beer.

In any event, I love Seattle.  One stop that never gets overlooked on a visit, Pyramid Alehouse.  A warm summer afternoon, waiting for the first pitch of a Mariner's game or a crisp fall day just before the kickoff of the NFL season, the brewhouse is just comfortable.  Whether it's a crowded pub table with my buddies or a patio seat with my wife and kids, there's always a massive plate of nachos (possibly the best I've had anywhere) and a refreshing pitcher of Apricot Ale.

Okay, okay, fruity beer, I know.  It's funny, I'm not a fruity beer drinker, but Apricot Ale is just extremely drinkable and it's kind of like crack.  I think their website probably explains it best, Apricot Ale perfectly combines the taste and aroma of fresh apricot with the smooth finish of a traditional wheat beer. It’s refreshingly unfiltered character and fruit flavor make it an ale worth savoring.

Yes, I miss Seattle, next time your in town, enjoy a game, family, friends and quite possibly one of the most addicting beers I've had.

Cheers
