What kind of beer is mannys

How many places in Seattle sell Georgetown? How many states carry it? We have something like 3, customers total. In King County it might be like 2,—in the Seattle city limits it's about We're in Oregon and Idaho right now, too. In Oregon, there's about places that carry us.

Probably about the same in Idaho. We're heading to San Francisco at the end of the month. We've got a representative that's been working in Tacoma and he's heading south now. It's an investment, the payoff comes with how many kegs we sell. Our hope is within two years we'll hit the number we're looking for. What makes this brewery so successful? It's a little bit of everything, working with wholesalers and customers—that's a big part of our business. Also the right marketing and feel of the label, and all that.

There's no one secret to success. The beer must be at least a little different each time it's brewed. How do you balance that? Yeah, it changes just a bit all the time.

We try to contract out for the same hops but even now we have two suppliers. The grain is mostly consistent but it can vary year to year. So we have to constantly make small adjustments. And sometimes, you know, yeast has a mind of its own. Every week we have a quality control meeting. A lot of it is tasting beer, analyzing numbers from lab work.

But yeah, you have to just drink the beer. I always tell the guys, it tastes one way here from the vats but you have to get to a bar or restaurant and decide whether you want to have another pint.

Can you talk a little about Bob's Brown Ale? Bob was a friend of mine that passed away from cancer. I was a volunteer at a camp called Camp Goodtimes on Vashon Island, a place for kids with cancer and their family.

When I first met Bob he was 16 or 17 and I was his counselor. He first had leukemia when he was 11, and he relapsed and died when he was He would come to Seattle for treatment—he called me up one day and so we ended up spending a lot of time together, we read the Lance Armstrong book together which was inspiring at the time , went to movies.

Shortly later, he passed away. Read our follow up story about how much money was raised by this project. It is really, really impressive! Sixpacks of oz cans should be available at the brewery starting on Saturday, May 23rd. A few days later, look for it wherever you buy beer.

This is a limited release, expected to last six weeks. It was also our excuse to drink beer at bars and call it work. They have always been there for you. They have fed you, they have provided shelter, they have kept you hydrated… and your favorite bartender has listened to every one of your stupid stories. As our state starts to talk about a phased approach to recovery, it might seem like the need for fundraising is over.

Keeping safe while moving forward will keep that recovery within our grasp, and while immediate needs may be changing, support is still needed. Our hope is to aid in that recovery. Getting cans and packaging made is not a fast process — it takes time, and the speed with which this project was turned around cannot be overstated. And our distributors — the folks that are the reason you can get our beer somewhere besides the brewery: Columbia Distributing, Columbia Wenatchee, Crown Distributing, Midway Beverage, Pioneer Distribution and Tripp Distributing.

They all stepped up to not only get the beer in stores quickly, but are donating all or a portion of profits. I am so stoked about this. This is my absolute favorite go-to.
