were in the area, decided to check out K’s Beverage House & Deli.
short answer: an unsuspecting place in a plaza in the heart of bellevue to get a great sandwich and a great pint. 12 taps? 5 IPA’s on tap when were visited, including a dry-hopped IPA from elysian that was surprising & amazing.
their bottled selection is huge — however, a lot of this stuff has been here for a long time. several of the 12oz bottles we bought had gone bad. i would stick to the fresh stuff.
stopped by Brouwer’s Cafe in the afternoon, for some beer & frites.
let me say, that this place is like the penultimate sophisticated beer bar. the entire place smacks of no-expense-spared kinda excess, in all the good ways. the custom stainless work for the bar back, the taps, the glass washers, the custom coolers that show off the mind-boggling collection of bottled beers. it’s crazy.
it’s like a dotcom kid went crazy with the venture capital and bought all top-of-the-line stuff. let’s hope it doesn’t peter out when the seed money dries up.
