some beer by the bay


   Spring break is quickly coming to an end. *sigh* My favorite day this week was definitely Wednesday, when Tommy and I took a trip to Mukilteo and Everett to visit some breweries. We stopped at Diamond Knot Brewery in Mukilteo first, where we drank lots of beer and ate some sandwiches. I had never been before and I can't wait to go again!

   The atmosphere was really relaxed and friendly. So relaxed that the proper way of disposing of your peanut shells is to throw them on the floor. Score! Their sandwiches are served on a hot stone, and you get to cook the meat and build your own sandwich. I love that kind of stuff.

   The brewery is located right next to the ferry terminal, so we took some time to sit by the ocean and sober up. It was cloudy and rather cold, but not raining, so we couldn't complain! When I was young I spent a lot of time at the Mukilteo ferry terminal in order to get to my grandma's house on Whidbey Island, so there are a lot of fond memories there.

    After Diamond Knot and a bit of beach play, we started the drive home and stopped at Scuttlebutt Brewery in Everett on the way. The atmosphere is more family orientated at Scuttlebutt and not quite as unique as Diamond Knot, but their beer is super delicious. If you see the Triple Seven from Scuttlebutt at your grocery store, definitely give it a try. It has a bit of a banana flavor, not to mention a high alcohol content...so you get your money's worth :)

   Crazy to think this break is the last! Crazy, crazy awesome. Com'on last quarter of my college career, let's do this.
