West Seattle, the part-industrial, part-funky section, linked to the rest of the city by a couple of problematic bridges...this is where the
Elliott Bay Brewing Co. started out in 1997. The location is squeezed into the middle of an urban block on South California Street, giving it a cozy feeling.
This was its look in early December, on my way to the Winter Beer Festival at Hales. Elliott Bay doesn't run quite as many taps as they do at the newer Burien location, and did not appear to have as many certified organic ales here. That is evidently a function of space, as the philosophy appears to be the same: better-than-average pub food, lots of local artists on the walls, and plugged-into-the-community feeling.
