If it’s September, it must be time for the third annual Oktoberfest at Burien’s Elliot Bay Brewhouse and Pub (a returning BTB Advertiser) – that’s right, following in the German tradition, Oktoberfest starts in September! Big difference is that the Germans celebrate for 16 days, into early October.

Elliott Bay’s celebration will take place on Saturday, Sept. 26th.

Michael Goldsmith, General Manager of Elliott Bay, sat down with BTB earlier this week to lay out their plans to be a part of Burien’s Oktoberfest. The aim is to provide the city of Burien and surrounding area with a “family friendly area-wide celebration in the broadest sense.”

“We’re really excited about the music,” said Michael. “We’re presenting live music inside and outside from 2-9pm.”

Here’s a line up of the bands:

• Mellifluous Zephyrs will be playing traditional German Polka music on wind instruments
• Jonathan Kimball will play Folk/Blues and Acoustic
• Sunderlyn, “a powerpop altrock band” according to their website

In addition to the music, Elliott Bay has developed a special Oktoberfest Menu. In the true Oktoberfest tradition they’re setting up beer tents outside with “festival-style tables.” This means that you may have to sit with strangers, but the more you get into the spirit of Oktoberfest, the less strange they might be to you.

Elliott Bay is Burien’s only award-winning brewery, making the beers their customers enjoy right on the premises. Such popular local beers as:

• B-Town Brown
• Highline IPA
• Hop von Boorian

This family-friendly neighborhood pub offers a full pub menu, large party facilities, tournament-sized shuffleboard tables, along with party platters and beer to go. Monday-Wednesday they’re open to from 11am-10:30pm. Thursday-Saturday ’til midnight. The kitchen closes 30-minutes before the doors are locked. On weekends they open up early for brunch at 9:30am. They’ve also got a great happy hour with great happy hour food and beers.

If you can’t wait ’til Elliott Bay’s Oktoberfest, stop by and give ‘em a try. Then stop back on Saturday, Sept. 26th and enjoy the fun, food, ice cold beer, music…and make some new friends!

You’ll find Elliott Bay Brewhouse and Pub at 255 SW 152nd, right at the corner of 4th Ave SW. For more information, call (206) 246-4211 or visit their website here.

Here’s another video from Monday night’s Blog Party 2.0 Food Bank Fundraiser at Elliott Bay Brewery, featuring Luke from local band Skwish performing a cover of the Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”:

Here’s a video we shot of local comedian Winlar doing an original song at last night’s Blog Party 2.0 Food Bank Fundraiser called “The B-Town Blog Song,” aka the “Town Blog, Comma B”:

Thanks again to everyone who showed up, from the musicians to the comedian to all our generous Readers and Contributors – collectively we all donated 166 items of food and $280 cash to be split between the Highline and White Center Food Banks!

“I just purchased ground turkey at 59 cents per pound,” remarked Rick Jump, Executive Director of the White Center Food Bank. “Therefore the $280 cash donated translates into a lot of turkey for a lot of local, hungry families in need.”

Rick Jump, along with Mike Werle, Executive Director of the Highline Food Bank attended, as well as 45 other people who braved a blustery night to enjoy free appetizers provided by Elliott Bay Brewery, live entertainment and lots of goodwill. In addition to live comedy from local comedian Winlar, the fundraiser also featured live music from Luke of the Burien band “Skwish,” along with “Lost in the Bamboo” (videos coming soon).

This is the second major fundraiser the B-Town Blog has been involved with; the first was held on July 16th at Mick Kelly’s Irish Pub, and raised over $10,500 for the victims of the fatal June 29th Burien arson apartment fires.

The next major fundraiser for the White Center Food Bank will be their annual “Harvest Dinner and Auction” on Sat. Oct. 18th at the Jerry Brockey Center at South Seattle Community College.

For more info on the White Center Food Bank, go to www.whitecenterfoodbank.org. To get in touch with the Highline Food Bank, call Rick Werle (206) 433-9900.

Monday night’s Blog Party 2.0 Food Bank Fundraiser was a rockin’ success, bringing in 166 separate food items and $280 in cash/checks, split evenly between the Highline and White Center Food Banks, and a huge THANK YOU to everyone who braved the weather and showed up (with a special shout-out to  Elliott Bay Brewery for hosting)!

Some highlights of the evening:

• Local comic Winlar sang a hilarious original song about the B-Town Blog (video coming soon)
• Skwish’s Luke did a rousing solo set
• Lost in the Bamboo finished the night with a killer set
• And sadly, BTB Publisher/Editor Scott Schaefer was forced to sing “Folsom Prison Blues” (and yes, there’s video of this so stand by…)

We’ll be posting more photos and exclusive videos soon, so please check back in…and again, THANKS EVERYONE for helping to feed your hungry neighbors!

The B-Town Blog would like to lift its pint glass full of original, organic, locally-brewed brew and offer up a hearty toast to its latest Advertiser, Elliott Bay Brewery of Burien!

Elliott Bay Brewery is located at 255 SW 152nd Street in downtown Burien (map below), at the intersection of 4th Ave SW and SW 152nd, kitty-corner from the Burien Town Square construction.

They’ll be serving up lots of great food and fresh brewed beer at our second-ever “Blog Party 2.0” on Monday Aug. 25th, from 6pm on, and we invite all our Readers, Contributors and Advertisers to come on down and toss back a pint or three. That night will also serve as a Fundraiser for both the Highline and White Center Food Banks, and while there is no cover charge, all attendees are kindly requested to bring at least two cans (or boxes) of food.

Elliott Bay Brewery brews its own beers right on the premises, and you can even check out the big old tanks in the corner window (sometimes you may even spot the Brewmaster). And of course, strictly in the name of research, your BTBers have sampled just about every brew there is to quaff at Elliott Bay Brewery, and we’re happy to say there’s not a bad one in the batch.

On July 27th, Elliott Bay Brewery received notice that 12 of their house-brewed beers had been awarded organic certification from the WA Dept. of Agriculture. Elliott Bay Brewery is the first brewery in King County to brew certified organic beer and the only brewery in the state to gain certification for so many of its beers.

Currently, Elliott Bay Brewery is brewing up:

• Alembic Pale Ale
• B-Town Brown
• Highline IPA
• Hop von Boorian
• Luna Weizen
• No Doubt Stout
• Pilot Light

As well as these seasonals, most of which are named after Burien’s namesake Gottlieb Von Boorien:

• Abbey von Boorian
• Noir von Boorian
• Red von Boorian
• Sunnydale Pale Ale

Aside from being the area’s only brewery (and organic one at that), Elliott Bay Brewery is also green – they’re now participating in Puget Sound Energy’s Green Power program and purchasing approximately 60% of our electricity from wind power sources.

Elliott Bay Brewery also serves up some of the area’s highest quality pub food, most of which is made on-site from scratch, including hummus, crab cakes, salad dressings, soups, salads, and sauces. Their gourmet burgers are available with either all-natural Black Angus beef, chicken breast or vegetarian garden patty. All are served on buns baked with spent grain, a high-fiber by-product of their brewing process. You can view and print their full menu here (PDF file).

As you can probably guess, Elliott Bay Brewery also donates quite a bit to local charities, including these schools:

• St. Francis of Assisi
• Des Moines Elementary
• Shorewood Elementary
• Cedarhurst Elementary

So, to review:

• Certified Organic Beer
• Brewed Locally
• Hosting Blog Party 2.0
• In Tune With Local History
• Eco-Friendly and Very Green
• Serves Great Pub Food Made From Scratch
  
• Donates to Local Charities

Oh yeah, and one other thing:

• Brews a Ding Dang Fine Brewski!

Please click on their Ad, check out their offerings, attend Blog Party 2.0 (on Aug. 25th), and enjoy a fine meal and refreshing beverage (heck, they even serve excellent root beer on tap for the kids!).

Elliott Bay Brewery’s operating hours are:

• Monday-Saturday, from 11 am – 12 midnight
• Sunday from 11 am – 11 pm

Happy Hours are:

• Daily from 3 pm – 6 pm
