Welcome to Perry Street Brewing, and brewery visit #183 in my travels.
PSB is in a cute old downtown sort of area and occupies a corner with a great patio area. We were greeted immediately on walking in and yes, Inslee you fool, they are following your ridiculous mask mandate. Everyone sitting around maskless while people need to wear one to walk 20'. Science right? SMDH.
We opted to sit on the patio to enjoy the mild weather while it lasts.
Unfortunately PSB doesn't do flights, which I find really odd but they do tasters so I ordered a flight of 4 even though they don't do flights because, well...Be Ungovernable.
Starting with the Helles, I found this to have that nice light but slightly malty, bready flavor.
The Czech Pilsner was also good, with a nice clean flavor.
Hassel Hopfenbombe is obviously an IPA, and the name is undoubtedly a tribute to David Hasselhoff. IMHO David Hasselhoff is way overrated. I said what I said. Fight me... The beer though is quite good. Nice hop aroma and flavor with reasonable bitterness. Nice beer!
SWPFTD went with the Oktoberfest, which was a nice mild beer with great caramel flavors. This might be my favorite so far.
The summer stout was also a decent beer but didn't wow me. Light chocolate flavors and quite mild. This is really a good descriptor for PSB beers overall, mild. This isn't a bad thing at all because I have been places where it seems like they are trying to hide off flavors under overpowering hops, etc.
We both had burritos, and I noticed a trend towards spicy here. I had The Captain with steak. Yes, the spicy crema was a bit too much for me. It was good but I could have done with less spiciness. YMMV of course.
I tried to revisit the Oktoberfest since SWPFTD was bogarting hers but unfortunately the keg had blown. Bummer. I went with the Helles instead. Still good.
PSD was good overall. The beers were good but the vibe, food, etc all come together.
If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you!
