The Keg and I — Restaurant in Washington

Overpriced, flat growlers Dropped by to get a growler before the Seahawks game after years of passing this place and wondering about it. We should have kept driving. I asked for "a basic porter" and was shocked when we received the $26 bill (for reference, it's $10 cheaper at the Port Townsend Brewery). When we got home, I opened to find my growler only 3/4 full with 2 inches of foam on top. The beer was flat. Disgusting! So, we called thinking that they would be appalled too. Nope. The manager, not a new employee, didn't seem to understand the principles of carbonation and beer pouring. She defended the quantity of beer poured by saying that "the bartender filled the pitcher, which is 64oz". She honestly did not see the connection between pouring beer into a pitcher before pouring the beer into the growler and the completely flat beer we were served. We were told that it was their policy to do so for growlers that they hadn't cleaned themselves (aka sold themselves). I called around, and confirmed that other breweries and fill stations don't do this, because it makes the beer undrinkably flat. Duh!

Bottom line: the prices are unreasonable, the product sucked, their knowledge of beer sucks, and they don't make it right when they make mistakes. Turns out the drive into town is worth...

I've only been in the afternoon but the selection of drafts is really nice and there's a pretty good selection of chesses and meats and chips available for purchase at a reasonable cost. Cool swag available from growlers to hoodies and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Planning to go one night during a live event, because they also host music, poetry, trivia, and all sorts of other fun events during the evenings. If you're rolling through chimicum on your way to wherever, stop in and pull up a stool or enjoy the valley from the back...

Grandpa's drinking trailer IMO. Basically a double wide with a bunch of beers on tap. No biggie. But sadly run by an old dude that apparently has enough money to keep it open no matter how busy, funky, or bad the service is. Be warned. If he wants to go home - they're closed. Sure, the party is on as long as the meds are kicking in. But walk-in even close to closing time and don't expect to get served. Too bad it's getting late - like 9:00 on a Friday in July. They'll turn you away non-local. Yer money is no good here....
