They had a dozen or so beers on tap, and I was thirsty. Spent a few days this summer climbing in and around Squamish, British Columbia, and finally made it to the Howe Sound Brewery. Makes it tempting to visit the Redmond Vertical World more often because it’s just a block away - convenient for post-climbing beers. Sampler is fine, though - a pint would be too much.Īll in all, Black Raven’s a cool spot. Thankfully not quite as fruity as advertised. A little light on flavor but it does the job. Pretty good Belgian, but not nearly as good as Big Al’s. Strong hoppy flavor - they say citrusy, I say floral. My iPhone tried to correct the spelling of the name to “Kristallnacht.” 4.8% Trickster Northwest IPA – Not quite as crisp as I usually like but good.Clean, crisp, and light with a hoppy edge, but not the usual bready pils taste. Okay, but I’d rather drink a Guinness.Īnother brew post down! Woo hoo! Two more to go and I’ll be all caught up once again.īlack Raven Brewing’s stylish taster tray + 2 - Redmond, WA Steamer Glide Stout – Guinness wannabe.Not such a good porter IMHO, although the aftertaste is okay. Slightly sweet - no lemon wedge needed, really. Cream Ale – tastes a lot like the Golden, but with a very slight edge to the aftertaste.Golden Ale – okay for a light beer but not really my thing.
Maybe a better name would be “Beige Ale.” Ha! Not your usual brown, though - fairly light. Industrial IPA – tastes a lot like the IPA but 7.9% instead of 6%.Not particularly crisp but great flavor and hoppiness. Whip Ale – good citrus and hop flavor, and there’s a Queensryche connection.Not very hoppy for an ESB but very drinkable. ESB – nice balance, nice caramel flavor.Diamond Knot tasters galore - Mukilteo, WA
