Peaks Brewpub

September 9, 2008
Take a drive to Port Angeles Washington and see the lone Brewpub of the Northwestern most area of Washington State. Right off highway 101 there is Peaks. A small little brewpub trying to make it in a PBR town. They have a small brewing system sitting in the middle of the pub encased in glass so you can watch the boys brew when they are hard at work. I was in the area and the drive up is awesome loved seeing the Olympic range and Hurricane ridge. I arrived after much anticipation for some great beer. We stopped somewhere else for dinner due to hearing they really do not have much food. After seeing the kitchen now we understand why you stop somewhere else have dinner then go to Peaks for a Pint. Yes they have several beers but they where down to one tap of there stuff due to the Great Canadian Beer Festival. So are you saying they do not have enough beer to have some at both places? Yeppers… They had one tap of ESB flowing and that was it. They did have other beer from other great brewers but there stuff was north to Canada. They also have about 20 bottles off stuff to sell there or to go and it was top notch also. I would like to try more of the there brewed beers. I wish Ed was there he sounds like the person to actually talk to. The Bartender nice but really did not know much. I was a tad disappointed with the entire experience. I know I will be back in the area for vacation and seeing the mountains or going to Victoria so I will stop just to see if it has gotten better. But for my money this was not am impressive place. So unless your going this direction for a trip to see the Olympic Mountains and or go to Victoria BC. Don’t waste the gas for this place.

Very cool little blue collar beer bar in PA. Far-flung, somewhat remote location, so it’s cool to see so many *awesome* guest taps lined up, plus several fairly decent house beers. Bottle opener collection, some cheesecake photos, other goofy little decorations. Very local flavor. Easy to find, right off the 101. Must-stop if you’re circling the peninsula, debatable whether it’s worth the drive all on its own. Food looks pubby and good on the website, but we didn’t eat, and the menu looked pretty thrown-together, so I split the difference on rating the food. Plenty of other places to eat nearby if that’s an issue.

Small town brewery, I like it, it’s fun, people are interesting, good beer selection, service is good, plus it’s a short walk from my house. They have 7 handpumps, but usually don’t have more then 1 going. They get the occasional rarity that Seattle gets, but it lasts much longer.
