WA's 1st Craft Beer Cannery, Tonight!

C@TRH — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:14:00 +0000

Our pals over in Gig Harbor, 7 Seas Brewery, have got their canning line up and running. They become the first WA State craft brewery to offer canned beer with 16oz. cans of their Ballz Deep Double IPA and British Pale Ale. We’ll have both on tap tonight (Wed 4/21), so come hang out, snag a free 7 Seas foam can coozie, enjoy some delicious local, freshly made craft beer, and maybe get a 4-pack of cans to-go. In addition, we’ll also have their newest seasonal on tap, The Rude Parrot IPA. Party starts at 6pm, come meet the brewers as we pack it in and pack it out.

We Got Your Back(side) & Bike Racks

C@TRH — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 14:14:00 +0000

Yesterday we waged war in an epic battle against bar-butt, and were victorious by putting in new barstool tops on all our stools. The new padding was waging war against literal pains-in-the-asses of many a Tacoman. Reports are in that the new seats are ‘comfy’.

I’ve also been writing the City for over a year asking about getting new bike racks in front of TRH for a while. I’m not sure if that was the reason, but yesterday some nice people showed up and added 2 new racks in front of our building. It was not uncommon for our tiny single rack to house 8 or more bikes at a time, and we’ve chased more than one lousy bike thief after nabbing a patron’s unlocked bike because of no room on the rack. We started letting people bring their bikes in, but that got too crowded too fast. This is a very welcome change. Thanks City Bike Rack People!

Black Raven Meet the Brewers Tonight

C@TRH — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:16:00 +0000

Tonight we welcome our pals from Redmond, Black Raven Brewing and a swath of very fine offerings. We’ll have Trickster IPA, Wisdom Seeker Double IPA, Second Sight Scotch (if you are not a fan of Scotch Ale, this will convert you), Tamerlane Brown Porter, and a special super-secret firkin that we will tap when our guests from the north arrive. This is not to be missed, and as always, good times and schwag will ensue. Party starts at 6pm!

JubelAle Night Tonight

C@TRH — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 13:13:00 +0000

Tonight (WED MAR 24) we welcome our pals from Deschutes Brewing as we sample their Jubel wares 3 different ways: 2008 JubelAle, 2009 JubelAle, and the new Jubel 2010 (this is the same recipe as 2000’s awesome ‘Super Jubel’, but was aged in pinot noir barrels for 13-months before the release), a big mamma-jamma weighing in at 10% and sure to help you bid winter a big farewell. You can try a 4oz’er of all 3 beers together for $6. Brewery schwag and good times will ensue, tapping is at 6pm!
