In a few short months, Ale House on Winslow will become the new over-21 hangout and a corner for beer lovers and beer enjoyers.
“It’ll be a pretty unique beer experience for the island and for Seattle in general,” said part-owner Travis Samson. “We’re hoping to make it kind of a landmark in the state for having great beer.”
Located next door to the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Ale House on Winslow is expected to be the ultimate beer sampler.
Whether it’s an unfamiliar craft beer brewed at an up-and-coming brewery in Seattle or a trusty Rainier, Samson said, the alehouse will find something you like.
“A lot of guys don’t drink craft beer,” Samson said. “My philosophy has always been, any body in the world, unless you’re allergic, I can find a beer that you’ll like and we’ll have it.”
Samson is a longtime brewer.
After spending most of his college career as a home brewer, he entered the Master Brewer Program at the World Brewing Academy. This took him first to the Siebel Institute in Chicago then to the Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany.
When he returned from brewing school in 2012, it wasn’t long before he joined Silver City Brewery’s crew of brewers.
