Some of the greatest beer offered in the Greater Seattle Metropolitan Area is brewed up by the Elysian Brewery located up on Pike and 13th on dynamic Capitol Hill � and think for a moment what that comment entails. We�re talking about a city that offers up such Nationally renowned �craft� breweries as Pyramid, Red Hook, Thomas Kemper, and Locally renown selections like Hales and Pike Place. Some of the Heartiest Beer I have ever tasted is made by Elysian.

Which is all the more reason the fare served at their Brewpub/Restaurant is disappointing. The menu is shockingly limp-wristed, obviously taking from its overly �liberal� neighborhood roots. Along with that, the waitstaff seems particularly light in the loafers, which all seems like a mighty disgrace for the establishment brings us such legendary libations as Cyclops Barley Wine, the Immortal IPA, Valkyrie Strong Ale, and Satan Stout.
