The Elysian
11:14:33 MST on Friday November 18 2005 #On our weekend in Seattle we managed to do both beers, and lunch at The Elysian . This brewpub has always been a fav. Amazing beer - and a big space where getting a table and hearing your conversation is never a problem. Except this time around we discovered that sometimes on Friday nights getting a table is a little more difficult :). Still good food, with a range of vegi selections, and truly amazing beer brewed on the premises kept us coming back. And this weekend was no different. As for the brews we tried the Porter, the Stout and the truly stunning Barleywine. The Barleywine was described on the menu as
nearly all Pale malt, with some Crystal, Caramalt and Munich malt for color
It also had 11.7% alcohol by volume. This was a heavy, malty, complex brew that packed a punch. I was very very impressed.
