What can be said about one of Seattle's oldest, most recognizable breweries? Well, other than they make some damn fine brews, they know how to throw a party. These guys have fun like it's going out of style -- 80's style. more ›

Red Hook's birthday party is this weekend. You're invited. You should definitely go. more ›

It’s Monday morning and I am awoken by the sound of thunder echoing across the landscape. Our summer season has had only intermittent warmth, with many more days just like this one: overcast and rainy. I ponder my topic for a post this week and I am inspired to pull out one of the bottles that has been in the queue of beers in my fridge, the Redhook Dunkel Weizen. This dark beer feels perfect for a rainy day of staying indoors. It’s in Redhook’s “Blueline” series of beers that are special limited release beers for the northwest market. The “Blueline” name refers to the old trolley line whose trolley house was the original tenant of the old Redhook brewery location in Fremont (which currently houses Theo chocolate). more ›

Bertolt Brecht once said glibly that a theater without beer is just a museum. The people at Emerald City Scene have taken the master at his word with their production of Brews & Bards, which plays at the Center House at Seattle Center concurrently with Seattle Beer Week. more ›

What'll you have: Dewars or Redhook? Go to Saint, Hazlewood, Shorty's, or the West Seattle Easy Street Records tonight, plunk down some cash, toss back a drink and support The Vera Project, one of the city's most avid supporters and nurturers of Seattle's underage music scene. Starting tonight and running through Saturday, participating bars around town will donate money to the Vera for every Dewars or Redhook you buy in a fundraising effort called A Drink For The Kids. Locations switch up every night, so check the website for times/places. What a fantastic, easy excuse to get drunk and simultaneously support a very deserving local venue! more ›

That's a really fabulous $15-entrance-fee dog park that Fremont's got over there. Not sure why they call it the Fremont Oktoberfest, though. It's nice that you can get some Hale's, Red Hook, and Beck's while out walking your dog, but Oktoberfest? Not sure we see the connection. Anyway, about the giveaway: there was a tent with "Win $1,000 QFC Gift Certificate" sign that we assumed (foolishly) had something to do with QFC, until we got our call about "winning a weekend stay at a resort." Sweepstakes should not be allowed around drunk people. more ›

For those of you that are info Top Chef, you can check out the full review of last night's episode on Chicagoist. We were excited to see that beer had the spotlight for part of the show, but it was sad to see it was done in such a sell-out, corporate fashion. Check out the embedded clip for the ten-minute Quickfire Challenge (you can forward to the 3:45 mark). more ›

Our land, this inlet on the western coast of the North American continent, is a fortunate one, endowed with natural riches and settled by people who do not confuse prosperity with moral superiority. Modesty becomes us; we do not flaunt our advantages. more ›

Dry Soda continues Seattle's tradition of tastemaking beverages. Started, in a sense, with Chateau Ste. Michelle wine, some 30 years ago, moved on quickly to Red Hook beer and Starbucks coffee. Now, a homegrown soda that's in the hot category of Adult Non-Alcoholic Specialty Beverages. more ›

to drink beer with their nice dinner, rather than the typical bottle of expensive red wine? more ›

Perhaps it was a need to assuage disappointment over Matt Hasselbeck's injury, or the thrill of being at an NFL game...but something spurred a Thurston County prosecutor attending Sunday's Hawks game to allegedly follow his paralegal into a Qwest Field women's bathroom stall and make sweet love to her. more ›

The latest disturbing news out of Mt. Pilchuck about the skeletal remains discovered there recently is pretty hideous and bleak, regardless of whether or not there's any connection to the tragic murder of hikers Mary Cooper and Susanna Stodden a few months back. more ›

Q: What's up with gas prices? They shot up after Katrina, then they went back down again, but now it's ridiculous! more ›

Does Fox Sports NW have two hiring managers? One who is a brilliant mind, the other an evil genius...or just one with Jekyll and Hyde characteristics? more ›

This Thursday the Red Hook brewery kicks off its Moonlight Cinema series with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There's so many one-liners we could throw at you right now, our brain just came out our ears. more ›

According to population statistics, Seattle is the 23rd largest city in the United States. Yet our fair city gets mentioned far more often than other cities higher on the list when food is mentioned. Seattlest rarely hears about the food scene in Indianapolis (12th) or even Detriot (10th). Why do you suppose that is? more ›
