cask-conditioned goodness
Went to Redhook brewery in Woodinville last night. Tasted their Sunrye (a little light for my tastes, but would be ok for a hot summer day), a Raspberry Triple (unpleasant with a funky aftertaste... the one sample I wish I hadn't tried), the Longhammer IPA (solid performer) and their cask-conditioned Longhammer IPA (fabulous!! Better than St. Arnold's cask-conditioned Elissa, on par with cask-conditioned Tupper's Hop Pocket -- which remains my gold medal standard).
The food was alright -- but the cask-conditioned IPA made the trip to the brewery worthwhile. If you're a hop head or a fan of cask conditioned ales, I highly recommend it.
Today I'm off to hit a couple wineries, before heading into the city to see Tower of Power at Jazz Alley. So far Seattle hsa been confusingly sunny. I thought it always rained here. Oh well, I'm sure I'll see rain before I heade back home.
