The Big Time Brewery and Alehouse sits right in the heart of the university district, in the middle of a block full of college student type stores.
When I popped in, before the Winter Brewfest, I saw a nice selection of taps, including 4 (FOUR) different IPAs: Scarlet Fire, Bhagwan's Best, Perspective, and Random Thought Generator Rye IPA. My server elucidated the subtle differences, but I can't imagine anyone with the taste buds to compare all four in a single session. Any one of these well-hopped ales stomps my taster like the other NFL teams have been stomping the Seahawks lately.
The kitchen stays busy whipping up pub fare food. In the back one of the brewers came out and confirmed what their website says, that when they opened in 1988 they were the first brewpub in Seattle. Not craft brewery, but brewpub, with on premises sales and food. So that's another milestone to note in retracting the history of modern craft brewing in Washington.
