Earth Day Beer Delivery
The first leg of the Earth Day Odyssey saw a keg of Organic Demolition Ale arrive in West Seattle on bus 560. The journey was about 8 miles and 30 minutes and powered by bio-diesel. (photo taken by Washington Beer Blog. See their story here.)
Yesterday was Earth Day and Team Elliott Bay loaded up a keg of Organic Demolition Ale and delivered it by pedal power to the Latona Pub in the Green Lake neighborhood. Here's Head Brewer, Doug Hindman, strapping down the keg in re-purposed kiddie trailer for the 13 mile trip across Seattle.
Just before taking off Thursday morning, Team EBBC (Brent Norton, Doug Hindman, and Todd Carden) swung by one of the West Seattle murals for a quick photo op. Yes, those are three horses pulling a trailer. Get it?

We stopped off to snap a pic in front of Elliott Bay Park on our way along the Seattle waterfront, just north of downtown.
The crew and the keg arrived safely at their destination -Latona Pub in Green Lake- where they are serving only those kegs delivered w/o the assistance of car, truck or van. Happy Earth Day 2010, y'all!

SEATTLE BEER WEEK Events Announced
JUST ANNOUNCED! : Elliott Bay Brewing Co. will host TWO events during SEATTLE BEER WEEK
We'll break out some barrel-aged beers in BURIEN on Wed. May 19 from 6:00-9:00 PM. Details are still being worked out, but the general outline includes samples of five different barrel-aged beers, each paired with an appetizer. This will be a ticketed event and available to a limited number of participants. Stay tuned for details on price and appetizer pairings.
WEST SEATTLE plans to feature a full day of STRONG ALES on Thurs. May 20. The plan is to offer a sampler tray made up of Hoppus Callosum, Pro-Am Barley Wine, Demolition Ale, Belgian Brown Ale, and Imperial Stout. We'll have a limited amount of each beer on hand, so consider getting to the pub early for your best chance of getting in on this unique tasting opportunity.
Barrel-aged Beer : April 2010
It's that time of the month again (the first) when we release another of our barrel-aged beers.
This month we've selected a blend of two versions of our Pro-Am Barley Wine. Originally brewed back in September of 2008, we aged some of the batch in a Syrah barrel from DeLille Cellars in Woodinville and some in a Bourbon barrel from Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.
The Syrah version has taken on a bit of cherry tartness while the Bourbon version has maintained all the char and vanilla it had when we first tapped it in late 2009. Together they are divine! Enjoy.
One small keg will be tapped at each of our pubs TODAY, so hurry in for your taste of this unique concoction.
