Unassuming and industrially outfitted, Seattle’s Naked City Brewery and Taphouse sits as the hub for drink in the growing neighborhood of Greenwood. Founded in 2009, Naked City is known for its wide variety in rotating tap handles, affinity for pouring guest taps (which takes up half of their two dozen handles) and their swelling barrel-aging program. An on-tap staple, the Scarlet Street Double Red is dogged and rambunctious, stuffed with roasted coffee and toasted malts with a gentle hint at piny hops in the back. Balanced and round, dark caramel notes, coffee bean and resin come out in the mid-palate and finish slightly bitter and clean.
