Touring the Red Hook brewery

After the Cougar game, Shawn and I were fortunate enough to visit two of our good friends in Seattle. Unfortunately, we did not take any pictures, but we got to see their great new house, eat some good food, and catch up--it was wonderful.

The next day, it was time to meet up with my parents and do some more exploring. We went to the Red Hook brewery for a tour and tasting session. In all honesty, I am not a big beer fan, but I thought that hearing about the process and trying a few would still make for a fun afternoon. Luckily, I was right!

We had a great time. The tour guide was hilarious! Overall, we didn't have to "tour" very much, as most of the time was spent with him talking and pouring us different types of beer to taste, but we learned a little bit about the process and got to try some new things. It was a blast!


Now I just have to find Shawn some of the Red Hook Copper Hook he enjoyed so much--we only seem to have the IPA in North Carolina.

    1. :-) Riiight. Although for a fairly inexpensive tasting, they did give out quite a lot of free beer. And I think they made their money back. Now Shawn likes to buy Red Hook.
