BEERCATION – TACOMA – 7 SEAS BREWING
Hoppy next had a short stop in Tacoma, Washington where he visited two breweries. The first of these was 7 Sea Brewing which opened in Tacoma in 2016. (Their original facility was in Gig Harbor, Washington, where they still have a location.) The Tacoma brewery and tap room is located in Tacoma’s historic brewery district in the former home of Heidelberg Brewery. They have food partners in the tap room which are 3uilt Tacoma and 3uilt Grind Espresso. 7 Seas is known for being the first brewery in Washington State to can their beers, beginning in 2009. While there, Hoppy enjoyed sampling some brews and quaffed a pint of their IPA, formerly known as Rude Parrot. It clocked in at 5.9% ABV and 75 IBU.
