Nickpick: Seattle IMO actually has a pretty disappointing music scene, especially with respect to indie music. Presumably all of the artists moved out as the cost of living increased. But the awesome beer makes up for it.



Nitpick^2: I don't think the Seattle beer scene is actually that good (granted, I live in Denver).

Red Hook, Mac & Jacks and Pyramid are all decent. Ranier Beer is some of the most foul stuff I've ever tasted. Am I missing places? I think most of the good beer in Seattle comes from Portland or elsewhere.


Hale's Ales up in Ballard is pretty good, the Elysian breweries brew their own, Scuttlebutt out of Everett is pretty good, the Georgetown brewery makes some good stuff, Lazy Boy brewing also out of Everett ain't bad.

There are also small breweries that don't bottle (like Mac and Jacks) and you have to get them on tap at the famous beer bars like Uber, Brouwers, or Beveridge Place. There are plenty of places to look up more interesting beers in Seattle, the beers you named are just the tip of the iceberg.
