#578- Diamond Knot Ale House, Mukilteo - 6/23/2007

I finally made it to the brewpub of perhaps my favorite brewery and favorite brew (try the Diamond Knot Industrial IPA), right next to the Mukilteo ferry dock. Inside is a housed is a cozy, woody, throw-the-peanut-shells-on-the-floor interior, where and in addition to the excellent beers, they serve pretty good steaks and other entrees on a 750 degree stones to cook at your table. It also includes some nice memorabilia on the walls from past Washington and Oregon bars and restaurants.
