Seattle is a beer Mecca, with perhaps more micro start-ups than any city in America. That said, we are also blessed with unbelievable places to drink beer, talk beer, discover beer, learn about beer, celebrate beer, and generally geek out about this ancient, essential food.
Beveridge Place is one of those unique environments. They have hundreds of brews to choose from in draught, bottle and can; ciders, wine and even mead (a fermented honey brew) as well. One of the ways to tell you're in a serious beer-lovers' paradise: each type of beer is served in its proper glass. No generic pounders here.
Special events focusing on various genres of beer, specific breweries, beer-centric holidays (Oktoberfest et al) fundraising events and other themes are perpetually in the offing here- check the table at the entrance or ask your barkeep (if they're not too slammed) about ones you might be interested in.
Note: there is no food served, but they do invite food trucks occasionally, and takeout is welcome if you clean up after yourself. Some games (darts, pool, shuffleboard etc.) are available in the north room, when it's open.
Warning: Their extensive menu is mesmerizing! Indeed, when it's busy you will likely see a number of "brew zombies" staring bleary-eyed at the chalkboard list of offerings, mouths agape or muttering as they read through it. Some merely in awe, some totally confused, some looking in vain for that PBR or Coors tap, so they can turn their baseball caps backwards, use the term "bro" in context, high-five someone and preferably avoid anything or anyone that might cause them to step out of their frat boy safe zone. Needless to say, they've come to the wrong place.
My advice: ask for advice. The bartenders here know their stuff, and are expert at steering you at things you'll find interesting. They will let you taste before you buy, but if there's a line, please be respectful. Trusting your barkeep often results in a little flavorful adventure, so I recommend going with their suggestions when you're in uncharted territory.
There is no better place to get your brew on in West Seattle! Highly recommended.
