Ever since 1996, craft beer fans in Seattle have taken the ferry across Puget Sound to little Bremerton for a pilgrimage to Silver City Brewery. And all these years later, they’re still proudly independent and family owned. They’re most famous for the Tropic Haze IPA — one of the very first New England Style IPAs to come out of the Pacific Northwest. But, as fans know, this little brewery does a little bit of everything. Their Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Scrooge Christmas Ale is one of the most anticipated beers of the Northwest winter. Their Fat Scotch Ale is so malty and delicious it should come with a kilt! And their Charming Disarmer Wild Ale with Peach tastes like it’s plucked fresh off the tree. With beers like that, it looks like Seattle’s thirsty hordes will be making that ferry ride for years to come. Hype: Seattle Magazine called out Silver City for making some of the best beers in the state!
