On Tap In Gig Harbor

Gig Harbor now has a brewery and the Tap Room is open!

On Saturday my husband and I made our first (of many I'm sure) visit the 7 Seas Brewery Tap Room in Gig Harbor. Did you know Gig Harbor has its own brewery? It's so cool to be able to say that!

The tap room just opened last week, but the word is out because the tiny room was full when we arrived late on Saturday afternoon. About 15 people were enjoying the brew and each others company in the small tasting room that overlooks the production area.

The Seven Seas Brewery (Home of the Ultimate Proper Pint) is located right next to the Inn at Gig Harbor (go through their parking lot to the North side of the hotel 3207 57th Street Ct. NW). They have lots of parking. Open hours are a little funky, so check their website http://www.7seasbrewing.com/ but right now the hours are Thursday and Friday 3-9pm and Saturday and Sunday noon-6pm.

Travis and Mike, the innovative craft brew makers are excited to welcome folks to the tap room to taste what they think is an audacious, yet technically well-executed beer. The Ballz Deep Double IPA we tasted Saturday was excellent, as was the British Pale Ale. We did not have food, but food is available and will be delivered direct to the tap room from the Inn at Gig Harbor's Heritage Restaurant right next door. The Heritage is one of Gig Harbor's hidden jewels of a restaurant offering incredible salads, seafood, burgers and specials all at very reasonable prices.

Coming soon to the tap room is a winter Stout. This beer boasts massive roasted and dark chocolate notes, with a wisp of floral Mt. Hood hops and a pleasant harmonious aroma. Perfect for a Northwest winter afternoon.

7 Seas can be found on tap at several local restaurants and taverns in Gig Harbor, Tacoma and more. To see the list and to learn about the next development of 7 Seas in cans check out their great website at http://www.7seasbrewing.com/.

As always in this blog I can not stress enough how important it is to support our local, innovative and passionate business owners and 7 Seas is a perfect example. Say the word, and I'll meet you there for a pint!

Cheers!
