So I am sitting here and it just hit me. My site has been
down for so long that I
have not even got to share great beer experiences I had two years ago. Some time ago I had to travel to Seattle, Washington
for work, and of course sought out the local breweries while I was there. I
visited Pikes Peak, Pyramid, and a host of little
pubs. But just a little North of Seattle, by Everett, is a little place right on the water
called Mukilteo. Downtown Mukilteo -the
town can be measured in square feet so whatever downtown means - there is a
little hole in the wall known as the Diamond Knot. Granted it has been a
while so I forget the intimate details of all the brews I tried. But I they had
a great IPA, and Stout. In fact all their brews were incredible. In addition they
had a couple of taps for the Miller Lite drinkers of the world. If you order a
steak they bring it out mostly uncooked (just wait) on a searing hot brick.
Yeah it might sound odd, but it's perfect. The steak sizzles to perfection on
the brick making each piece freshly cooked and perfectly juicy. You have an
onion or two to prop it up in case you eat slow and don't want a carbon steak.
If you ever make it to Seattle
you will be doing yourself a great disservice to not visit the Diamond Knot. It's
quite possibly the coolest brewpub I have ever been to.
