So this was my first year attending the Seattle International Beer Festival.
There were 153 beers from over 15 different countries.
Out of which these were my favorites.
*Trade Route Brewery
Dragon King 2007, Helles Lager from Washington
4.5% ABV
Asian Style Lager with a very clean taste and smooth texture.
*Rouge Brewery
Double Dead Guy 1988, American Strong Ale from Oregon
9.5% ABV
I actually really liked this one. Rogue is one of my favorite breweries.
The Double Dead Guy is a full bodied ale that has a distinct, but not
overwhelming chocolate finish.
*Shelton Brothers
Amager Hr. Frederiksen 2003, Imperial Stout from Denmark
10.5% ABV
This is definitely a once in a while beer. Something for winter time. A very heavy drink.
Oppigards Well-hopped Lager 2003, Baltic Pils from Sweden
5.3% ABV
This is a well balanced Pilsner. Highly recommended.
*Manneken-Brussel Imports
Chimay Cinq Cents 1862, Trappist Triple Cap Amber from Belgium
8% ABV
Delicious, enough said.
*Morandell Imports
Weltenburger Asam Bock 1050, Dopplebock from Germany
6.9% ABV
A cloudy texture with a very sweet finish.
*Browar Polska
Tusker Kenyan Lager 1975, Export Lager from Kenya
4.5% ABV
Unique, that is pretty much all I can say.
I wish I had more pictures of all the beers I tried.But it was hard enough to juggle my camera and tasting glass without spilling.
Checking out the program.
Planning our next move.
QUESADILLA!
A few too many perhaps?
Finishing off with a fine/ free cigar.
A few souvenirs.
