    You won’t find a million taps or a lot of expensive overseas beers, but you will find a dozen tasty, brewed-on-site offerings and plenty of comfortable places to sit and sip them. Read more

    Citra SMASH is delightful! Cool atmosphere, too. Also, flights on cafeteria trays are fun. Can't comment about food, but the beer is good.

    Parallel Pale Ale is a bit more hoppy than the Prime Time. The Scarlet Fire is definitely worth trying as well.

    Have been to some great breweries in Seattle with some delicious beers. This did not live up to my expectations of the beer produced in this area.

    So easy to move tables around. Especially on a weeknight. Come with 20 people, head to the back. Chances are, you can all sit together.

    Ask for a stamp card. After 10 stamps, you get your next for 50¢.
