Before we did our brewery walking tour in Ballard, Bad Jimmy's was actually the first brewery we visited during our recent trip to Seattle. It's not quite in the cluster of breweries in Ballard but it's close to that area.
Mr. and I had a few days off in April, so we decided to head down to Seattle for a quick getaway. Instead of hanging out in the downtown area, we chose to stay in the Ballard district, which is known for its ever growing share of breweries. Where we stayed was within walking distance to a cluster of craft breweries, so we did a self-guided brewery tour.
While we were staying in Courtenay, we learned that there were two breweries in town plus another one in Cumberland. It was a very hot summer day and we needed some refreshing beer to cool us down, so we paid Gladstone Brewing a visit!
Today we have Jitter Buzz, an Imperial Coffee Stout, made with Cold-pressed organic espresso, courtesy of Bean Around The World. I have a secret; I’m a tea guy through and through. Really, the only time I drink coffee is when it’s in the form of a latte or something along those lines. Coffee is a pretty popular flavour in beer, though, so I’ve developed an appreciation for it, if not love.
Oh hello, what do we have here? Not just P49’s IPA, Filthy Dirty, but a blend between Filthy Dirty and Tricycle! This seems like it could be pretty cool so let’s dive in.
