Hey, if you go to San Diego, and you love craft beer, I command you to visit Mission Brewing!

However, Number 1 was my cherished Safeco Field in Seattle. Ok, when it comes to overlooking Seattle craft beer I'm like Sean Hannity when MSNBC misses an Obama gaff. Yep, lots of great beer in Safeco but two of the best things were missing. Literally across the street from Safeco Field is Pyramid Brewing. You can stop there (trust me, the locals know so get there at least 3 hours early for a weekend game) to quaff and masticate before the game and save $$.

Also missing in the article is that Schooner Exact, from the SoDo district, has won a spot at Safeco. SoDo is Seattle slang for the neighborhood South of the now destroyed King Dome. Formerly an industrial area, SoDo, along with Georgetown, are trying to transform themselves.

Ok, the 3rd thing. The Silver Cloud hotel is at the same intersection as Safeco and Pyramid. Everyone should know slumber is the better part of inebriated valor.

Google Map it. Everything is in the NW quadrant of the map from the field.

Triple A Columbus Clippers carries Columbus Brewing company's staples.. Columbus IPA which is not distributed heavily but is a really solid IPA and they also carry seasonals...its really fun and the ticket is inexpensive... the only downfall is its served in plastic cups
