Pyramid in Seattle

I’m in Seattle this week and from the view of my hotel room and hot tub I have a clear view of Safeco Field and Pyramid Brewery. It was a long day of travel from New York, we were tired and hungry, and I was very thirsty.

Pyramid offered up their standards along with some from MacTarnahan’s from Portland. We ordered the sampler where we could select five of our choice. We skipped the wheats and the IPA; the wheats because we are tired of them and the IPA because I knew I was going to order a pint of it anyway.

My wife liked the MacTarnahan’s Amber the best, but liked all of the samples except the Sling Shot, an extra pale ale. My favorite was the Pyramid Fling Pale Ale. The Thunderhead IPA was also very good. It was not in-your-face hoppy, and a pleasant IPA.

The pub fair was well done, but nothing special you can’t find other places. we grabbed a six pack of the MacTarnahan’s Amber and we will probably be back for another visit.

Get paid to drink beer

I don’t know if the offer is still available, since the original post was put up several weeks ago, but if you drink beer and live in the Seattle area, you could participate in some paid market research.

Male Beer Drinkers Needed – Paid Market Research Study:

Fieldwork Seattle is conducting some paid market research studies with men ages 21-40 that enjoy drinking domestic beer. The research study will take no more than 2 and 1/2 hours to complete. Those who qualify and participate in the study will receive $125 for their time and opinions. Please call 425-822-4862 and reference the “Alcoholic Beverage” study when you call in.

Of course, you and I both know that “domestic beer” is code for Budweiser/Miller/Coors. But, heck, if you want to give me cash for drinking beer I’m not going to complain. Too bad I live on the wrong coast.
