It’s Oktoberfest time. Let’s mess with science. Beer science. The Washington Beer Blog — Everything Beer in the Evergreen State — is running a poll to determine Seattle’s favorite brew pub and Ballard’s Maritime Pacific is slowly pulling ahead of the Elysian:
We’ve been running a poll for a couple of weeks now. The question, “What is your favorite Seattle brew pub?” The plan was to pull it down today and announce the results. Change of plans. We’ll run it for the rest of this week to see if the tie can be broken between Maritime Pacific and Elysian Capitol Hill. Big Time is close on their heels.
You know what to do.
That’s right. Write in the Hopvine. Just kidding. Root for the home team. BTW, if your hometown beer is available on the Hill, let us know.
Kidding aside, Hopvine isn’t a brew pub.
I heart Elysian, their beers are faboo, and it doesn’t hurt that they’re mere blocks from my abode. I do, however, really miss their old food menu – where oh where have my tuna fritters gone??
I used to love The Elysian, but their food got so bad I simply stopped going. I’m willing to give them another try because the beer and atmosphere are fantastic, but how do you screw up food at a brew pub???
