"A Ballard brewery hop is never a bad idea when you want to tone down your birthday, but the usual sustenance of prepackaged bags of Tim's chips and cold food truck stuff can get disappointing fast. Head to 49th Street Beast (Beast & Cleaver's second outpost located inside Fair Isle Brewing) instead. Don’t let the relaxed atmosphere and barrel furniture here fool you—the food is totally special occasion-worthy, like decadent confit potatoes, pork rillette smeared on olive bread, or Beast & Cleaver’s famous 100-day-dry-aged burger with a heavy hand of ketchup and American cheese. Split fancy charcuterie with friends and hand out burger wedges like Costco sheet cake. " - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
