How To Save Beer

BLUF: Go to Bruges and Ghent
I went to UW and lived in Seattle during the early craft beer times (Red Hook was independent!!! They made a rye…)
I live in England now, but I tend to gravitate to German beer (Hefeweizen is my #1 overall - BTW Pyramid Wheat is good AF). Belgium is an outlier of beer goodness, but almost in their own world (like gose and sour, if I had to make a corollary).
England makes good fucking beer. Mostly Ales. Even their IPAs (which are ales) wouldn't register with the Seattle IPA palette.
As a rule, hate fruit beer. Belgium will change you. Their cherry and raspberry beers are so fucking good. Go to Bruges and Ghent (super underrated destinations - TRUST ME). Mussels and French fries are the national dish.
I happen to like pine cone beers. BUT - it is crazy when I visit my parents that 95% of the section is 7% IPAs.

I like pine cone beers, but only one is needed

Shit mang. I was drinking Trappist ales in Antwerp beer halls while you were still on you Mom's tit!
Belgium is the highest quality beer on the planet.

If you've never been, next time you head to the coast side of Oregon make a stop at de Garde Brewery in Tillamook. Top shelf stuff there.

Yeah, my coast resume isn't as good as it should be.
We do have some good local options in the space with Monkless and Ale Apothecary does great sours.

Pyramid is dead, bro. Their Apricot Ale was top shelf as a day drinking beer while waiting for a Mariners game to start across the street.

T’s and P’s to Pyramid. My oldest brother used to deliver to Pyramid and know the head chef well enough that my brother would always have a large section of their beers at his house. I moved back to Washington in 2007 and was going through a divorce so I moved in with him. Pyramid’s winter beer was called Snow Cap, something 7-8% ABV.
I had 2 22oz bottles while watching a movie and when I stood up, quickly realized how drunk I was. Good tims.
 
@YellowSnow Monkless is so damn good that they sell it in stores up here. That was one of my top-3 breweries when I was in Bend.

I once drank 7 free pints on a brewery tour there like 25 years ago. They had a tour guide who didn't give a fuck and kept pouring us all the beer we could drink.
Top 4 day in my life.

We need to do a pole of Seattle former breweries that we miss the most.
I was a big Hales guy back in the day. They had a creamy fucking stout on draft that I used to love.
