Elysian Brewing will be with us on August 8th, 5 pm to 8 pm!

 

ELYSIAN BREWING COMPANY:  The Elysian was founded in 1995 by principals Dick Cantwell (President/Head Brewer), Joe Bisacca (CFO/Head of Operations) and David Buhler (Sales & Marketing Director). Our first Seattle location, a 220-seat beer hall and our main brewery, opened in 1996 on Capitol Hill, Seattle’s most populous neighborhood. In 1997 Elysian was chosen to operate a pub and small brewery at Gameworks—a large entertainment complex owned by Universal Studios, Dreamworks & Sega. Elysian left this partnership in 2002 upon expiration of the five-year contract. A short year later Elysian opened TangleTown, an 80-seat neighborhood brewery/bistro. With a 3-bbl pilot brewery, Elysian-TangleTown acted as the brewers’ test kitchen, fueling the creative fires and helping cement Elysian’s reputation as Seattle’s top brewpub. The most recent addition to the Elysian empire, Elysian Fields, opened in August 2006. Perched next to Seattle’s two sports arenas, Fields seats 400 and packs the house at lunch and on gamedays. It is typical for us to offer over twenty different Elysian beers between the three locations.

From our very first day, when we poured the beers of each of the breweries we had all worked at in the past alongside our own beer, Elysian has honored the efforts of other brewers and brewing cultures. Uniquely among brewpubs, we have offered rare German and Belgian beers at our own taps along with those of our friends, some of whom at times have joined us to brew special commemorative beers. In a way our collaboration with New Belgium is a development of this spirit of fun and mutual respect. From 2008 to early 2011 we were able to produce large batches of our Immortal IPA and seasonal specialties at the New Belgium facility in Fort Collins, and New Belgium’s brewers would produce small-batch, experimental beers in their “Trip” series at our Capitol Hill brewery. In fall 2011, we opened our new production brewery in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood, allowing us to bring all our brewing back to our hometown. Despite this change, The Trip series and the spirit of collaboration continue on. We look forward to further growth and innovation in our brewing adventures as we devise not only new and interesting beers, but a new and interesting future for the craft brewing industry.

Full Sail! August 7th!

Full Sail will be here from 5pm to 8pm on August 7th!  

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That not all beers are created equal. And neither are the breweries that create them.

That we, the 47 employee-owners of the Full Sail Brewing Company, proudly proclaim ourselves to be I N D E P E N D E N T.

That to be Independent is to be free.

Free to live a life less ordinary somewhere extraordinary. Where the sirens are sounded by blue jays, and the skyscrapers have names like Hood, Adams and St. Helens.

Free to measure our lives not in dollars and cents, but in waves carved and powder runs tracked, in music made and meals shared, in pint glasses lifted and bonfires burned.

Free to pursue the perfect balance. Between work and play, art and commerce, inspiration and perspiration.

Free to amp up the creativity and craftsmanship of everything we do. No matter how big. No matter how small.

Free to celebrate and support Independents everywhere: The sail maker in Hood River, the pub owner in Seattle, organic grower in Flagstaff. The bike shop owner in Moab, the carpenter in Tahoe, the board shaper in Santa Cruz.

Free to make everything we do not just good but insanely great.

Art by Randy Johnston: Walls and Doors I am always fascinated when I see an amazing door or wall. This collection is my vision of the various walls and doors, both physical and metaphoric, that I encounter daily. When I see a particularly interesting door or gate, it really stokes my imagination. I wonder what will happen if I choose to open that door or gate . . . will I find a wonderland on the other side, or maybe I'll step back in time to a period indicative of the day that door or gate was first mounted upon it's hinges? My mind runs wild with possibilities. And those walls . . . There is nothing more exciting then turning the corner and finding a wall of such fascination that I am halted in my tracks and unable to move until I have inspected every inch. My mind is overwhelmed with images of when that wall was erected, and if it could talk, what did it see in times past? I hope this collection will provoke you to ponder the possibilities of discovery beyond the doors and walls you encounter in your daily life. Thank you for taking the time to explore my collection. —Randy Johnston
