FALL I S HERE AND SO ARE THE BEERS

Fall & Winter Seasonals:

The golden and brown leaves are strewn and blowing around the streets of Tangletown. The days are noticeable shorter and our patio is closed for the season. But while it was fun to eat and drink outside or with our huge roll up windows open it’s just as fun to come inside to a warm environment and enjoy beverages and cuisine more appropriate to the weather.

We will celebrate the fall releases starting with two classic beers.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale is a great Fall seasonal that bridges the seasons between fresh hop ales and Winter ales. First brewed in 1981 it has bold intense hop flavors featuring Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops. Sierra celebrates the new hop harvest with the newly arrived dried whole hop cones. 6.8% abv and 65 IBU's

Elysian Brewing’s Bifrost Winter Ale is a Fall classic with a great back story. In 1997, Elysian’ second year in operation, a local retailer (Bruce Springer from the Park Pub) suggested a golden strong ale as a potential seasonal release versus the first Winter offering from Elysian Valkyrie Strong Ale. Bifrost is very much derived from Valkyrie. Malty, but golden in color, lightly hopped with an abv of 8.3% and 58 IBU's. Amarillo, Magnum and Styrian Golding hops.

Other seasonal beers in the bullpen are Black Raven Festivus and Firestone Walker Nitro Merlin Stout.

Happy Hour

Monday - Friday 3-6PM

$1 off beer, cider & wine & smaller appetizers at a great price.

Regular Shout Out :: Joe

Joe is always traveling and has plans to open a wine bar. He has a recording studio in his house (that’s cool). He loves red wine but can’t be pinned down to a favorite (there all so good). Joe loves the Seahawks and has been coming to TangleTown from the beginning. He is a pillar in this neighborhood. Be like Joe.

TangleTown

Tangletown is a Public House which means that everyone is welcome. We are here to feed you, offer you libations and help you relax from your day, a place for you to meet new friends and engage with old friends. All of us at TangleTown can’t wait to see you.

Keystone Building

Keystone Building our building was built in 1910. Our corner space has had many reincarnations starting as Barclay’s Grocer then Lamont’s Food Center. In the 80’s it became The Honey Bear Bakery. Elysian opened Elysian- Tangletown in 2003. TangleTown Public House opened in May of 2019 after David Buhler took it over from Elysian.

Cocktail Corner

As the season changes so do the drinks we crave. The flavors need to be bigger, bolder somewhat heavier. Sometime served hot but always intended to warm from within. Brandy is key component this time of year whether distilled from grapes or other fruit.

Try the Winter Getaway with pineapple rum, passionfruit, cinnamon syrup and lime. Or the Orchard Cocktail with apple Brandy, pear, baking spices, bubbles. Of course we will have classics like Egg Nog, Irish Coffee and Mulled Wine.

Music

We have a great small stage and PA for live music. We will have frequent shows and are developing a steady rotation of great local talent.

Brewery Highlight - Fort George

Astoria, OR is the oldest American settlement West of the Rockies. During the war of 1812 Fort Astoria was temporarily renamed Fort George by King George III of Britain. The town has been boom and bust as industries grew and collapsed.

Fort George opened in Astoria Oregon in 2007 and has helped fuel the current tourist boom. Maybe you noticed we pour a lot of Fort George at TangleTown, because their beers are so darn good.

TangleTown Brunch

We have been rocking a full brunch menu since mid July and if you haven’t tried it yet then you’ve been missing out. The ancho-hollandaise on our eggs benedict is great with a bloody mary or a craft beer.

Our house-cured corned beef hash is stellar and the Pork and Clun with an egg on it while a little bit messy is amazing. Come by one of these fall weekends.

Our Food

We are about to revamp our menu. It's been a great 5 months since we opened and there has been alot of feedback both super positive and critical. We do listen and are expanding our vegetarian options. We are going to lose some menu items that some of you might have as favorites, we apologize and hope that our special menu makes up for that. Please join us on this journey with as continue to evolve.

FRESH HOP BEERS HAVE ARRIVED

Fresh Hop Beer:

Fresh Hop or Wet Hop beers are beers brewed with hops that have not been kiln dried. Brewers try to use these hops as soon as logistically possible from when they were harvested. This time period especially with the Pacific Northwest’s proximity to hop fields (Yakima and elsewhere) is literally within hours of having been picked from the field, fresh hops are very delicate and should be used within 24 hours of harvest. As these beers are timed to the hop harvest they tend to be made with a single variety of hop as the ripeness for harvest for all the varieties tends to be over a period of months.

Fresh Hop beers are a challenge for brewers as the hops are less concentrated it takes much more of them to get the characteristics brewers are looking for. Also, harvest time is not set to a particular date, the hops are ready when they are fully ripe, so brewers adjust all their brew schedules around these pick dates. Many of the local brewers drive early in the morning to Eastern Washington to brew a beer that afternoon in Seattle. Fresh Hop beers provide unique flavors not found in other beers.; grassy, green plant flavors without the bitterness that most hops are known for are some of the characteristics you might find. These beer also have somewhat shorter shelf life. Its not that the beers over time are “bad” it is just the delicate flavors of the freshly used hops dissipates rather quickly (30-45 days). It is a great time to celebrate the season with beers produced just-in-time for us the beer consumer.

We will have fresh hop beers from Pfriem, Old Stove, Reubens, Fremont, 10 Barrel, Georgetown, Elysian, Bale Breaker and Barrel Mountain grace our taps this month with more potentially to follow.

Regular Shout Out :: Brian

Brian has been coming to TangleTown since the first day when Elysian opened this corner spot in 2003. He likes hoppy beers and works for Boeing; don’t blame him for the 737-Max. Known for his rib cook off…Go Dawgs!! He currently bounces between Space Dust and Lush (IPA’s), be like Brian.

Tangletown-By Paul Dorpat cont. on historylink.org

The most important part of early Latona culture was its primary school. Soon after Seattle annexed its north end in 1891, the city school board purchased six lots for the construction of a four-room schoolhouse. In 1906, a larger frame structure was built facing 5th Avenue NE, and in 1917 a block-long brick addition was added along 42nd Street. Soon after, the original structure was razed. During the 2000-2001 school year, Latona School reopened after a year’s closure for renovation of the 1906 structure, destruction of the 1917 plant and the construction of a new addition partly on the site of the original Latona school. The new school was renamed the John Stanford International School, after the then recently deceased school superintendent. Because the Latona School is the last remaining direct link with this historic community, a activist core of former students, PTA parents, and Wallingford residents successfully lobbied to keep the historic name Latona associated both with the renovated 1906 structure and with the entire reworked campus.

Edgewater

Because of its proximity to Fremont, the Edgewater corner of Wallingford never developed many of its own institutions. Unlike Latona, it built no schools, meeting halls, or churches. Beginning in the mid-1890s, Edgewater – or a cow pasture nearby on Wallingford Hill – did feature the city’s first golf course. For a club house it used a pitched tent. During the 1890s, there was considerable time for golf -- several rounds of it on the three-holed course. Following the 1893 economic crash, Wallingford along with the rest of Seattle floundered at least until 1897, when the Klondike Gold Rush helped revive the greater community by making it the principal supplier and transporter for the miners heading north.

Cocktail Corner :: The P-38

Gin, apricot, Falernum, Lime The Lockhead P-38 Lightning was a fighter plane used primarily in the Pacific theatre of WWII and known for its maneuverability. This post war cocktail celebrates East and West flavors and goes down as smooth as this plane flew.

Regular Shout Out :: Bob Welch

Born and raised in Seattle, Bob moved to this neighborhood 40 years ago. He happily shuffled up the hill on a daily basis for good conversation, game of cribbage and a cold beer. He loved golf, he loved his wife and he loved life. He lived everyday of his life with a degree of enthusiasm that could be both exhausting and contagious. Bob had a youthful energy and kindness that will always stay with the people who knew him. Bob loved his friends at TangleTown all of whom he considered family. We will miss you Bob.

Tangletown-By Paul Dorpat cont. on historylink.org

The communities of both Edgewater and Latona soon developed -- with stations -- beside the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern tracks. The Latona Addition was platted by James Moore (1861-1929), for many years Seattle’s super-developer. He named it for a slim boat that was squeezed into Lake Union from Lake Washington by way of the narrow log canal and locks built at the Montlake isthmus in 1883. In the late 1880s, the Latona was one of the few powered vessels on Lake Union, and an important server to the north end before electric trolleys were extended to both Fremont and Latona in the early 1890s.

The Latona Bridge and Latona

Soon after opening up Latona, James Moore hired the logger Harry Cowan in the fall of 1890 to clear and clean-up another home tract to the east of Latona. Brooklyn, Moore’s name for his second north end addition, is now remembered only as an avenue in the University District.

Most important to the development of both Latona and Brooklyn was the July 1, 1891, dedication of the Latona Bridge. A band of eight musicians were imported from Fremont to play at the opening of the bridge. Until the University Bridge replaced it in 1919, all traffic to the northeast shores of Lake Union and its Portage Bay had to pass through Latona.

The Latona Bridge crossed Passage Bay (a name now rarely used for bend where Lake Union joins Portage Bay) along the same line of the contemporary Interstate-5 Lake Washington Ship Canal Bridge.

Cocktail Corner :: Bengal to Baja

The Bengal to Baja is made with Tequila, Cointreau, Ginger-turmeric syrup and lime. Inspired by the East Indies spice trade but through the lens of the deserts of Mexico. Enjoy one and let you inner traveler loose.

Tangletown-By Paul Dorpat cont. on historylink.org

The Wallingfords

At least by the evidence of their home life, John and Arabella Wallingford may be associated more with Green Lake than with Wallingford. In 1893, the city directory lists the Wallingford residence at Green Lake. Their daughter Emma (1859-1949) married William D. Wood (1858-1917), the primary pioneer developer of the Green Lake district. Before he resigned to join the gold rush to Alaska along with his brother-in-law Noble Wallingford, Wood was also mayor of Seattle in 1897.

At any rate it was not the Wallingfords that began the transformation of what was later called Wallingford Hill from forest and small farms into one of Seattle’s primary residential neighborhoods. And it was not in Green Lake where the early transformation of the north end begins but rather along the north shore of Lake Union.

The Lake Union Shore

The harvest of the old growth forest surrounding Lake Union began in earnest after the Western Mill was built on the south shore of the Lake in 1882. In 1885, future Seattle Mayor George Cotterill described the north shore of Lake Union as a “maize[sic] of undergrowth and stumps.” Cotterill was part of a surveying party preparing a right-of-way for the construction of the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad. (The old railway bed is preserved as part of the Burke Gilman Trail.) When the railroad reached the north shore of Lake Union in 1887, it stimulated growth all along the line, and it was soon extended well into the hinterlands of King County and as far north as the Canadian Border at Sumas.

Cocktail Corner :: Space Cowboy

Space Cowboy is made with Bourbon, Mescal, Ginger, Lime, Simple Syrup. Two friends arguing about the worth of legendary Seattle musician Steve Miller came up with this tongue-in-cheek offering. Both praising and denigrating the numerous hits of The Steve Miller Band.

Grand Opening July 20 & 21

Virtues Cider is the brainchild of Greg Hall and resides in Fennville MI. Virtue Rosé is a blend of hand-pressed heirloom Michigan apples aged in French oak barrels. It is truly a cider made like wine with floral notes and a dry, crisp finish.

Rosé pours with the light pink of spring apple blossoms, with bright floral notes and hints of fresh picked apple, grapefruit peel, and green strawberry. The finish is clean with just a slight tartness.

Wallingford's Boom Years: The 1920s

Once the hill between the University District and Fremont was regularly served by public transportation, it rapidly filled in with bungalows and box houses. By the mid-1920s, the Wallingford District was downright buoyant. In an illustrated two page 1925 profile of the neighborhood published in The Seattle Times, Wallingford is described as “one of the most active and important component parts of the city of Seattle.” The profile continues:

“Less than 20 years ago this district was sparsely settled with a few dwellings and a number of small farms. Today it is the home of a population roughly estimated at more than 50,000. It contains as its main business thoroughfare north 45th street which has established a record in development of growth not surpassed by any suburban business street anyplace in the nation. The tremendous business growth and development has come about the last few months ... Less than eight months ago business property in the heart of the Wallingford District on 45th Street was estimated at a value of $50 dollars a front foot. Today the same property is changing hands at a value of $250 per front foot, an increase in value which surpasses, according to the Wallingford businessman, those in the thickly populated centers of Southern California cities and even the Atlantic Coast cities of Florida.”

Cocktail Corner :: Hey Bozo

Hey Bozo is made with Chai-Scotch, Lemon, Sugar & Tiki Bitters. Travers concocted this recipe early in his bartending career while raiding scotch from his dads liquor cabinet. He was caught by his father chasing it with chai tea, with a clap on the head of young Trav he said “Hey Bozo, if you gonna take my liquor you need to drink it properly”.

Our Vendors

Its amazing how many vendors one deals with in a restaurant. Food, beer, wine, liquor, paper goods, cleaning supplies, professional services etc etc. Without their local services we would not be here. We will shout out to them as the Tattler moves forward.

Penn Cove Shellfish

We get our mussels and clams delivered fresh from the Puget Sound by Penn Cove Shellfish out of Coupville WA. Their sustainable aquafarm produces the finest shellfish around. Try them on-their-own steamed in 0ur ale broth or together in our seafood stew.
