Washington Trip ... More Seattle Photos
As I posted in Washington Trip ... Rain Forest Photos and Washington Trip ... Beach Photos, my wife (aka the SheppyBrew Beer Model) and I recently took a trip to Washington state.
The first few days, we spent in and around Olympic National Park, which is geographically / environmentally very diverse. Olympic National Park has rain forests. It has mountains. It has ocean - front beaches.
In Washington Trip ... Rain Forest Photos we shared photos from the first couple of days.
In Washington Trip ... Beach Photos we shared photos by the beach on day 2 and then a few more a little later in the week.
Washington Trip ... Mountain Photos we shared some Mountain Photos
Washington Trip ... Seattle Photos we shared some photos in and around Seattle.
And .. now ... here are more photos in and around Seattle:

Washington Trip ... Rain Forest Photos
My wife (aka the SheppyBrew Beer Model) and I took a trip to Washington state last week.
We did a bunch of stuff and had a ton of fun.
The first few days, we spent in and around Olympic National Park, which is geographically / environmentally very diverse. Olympic National Park has rain forests. It has mountains. It has ocean - front beaches.
And in just a few days we did it all.
Our home-base was a motel in Port Angeles, WA.

Voodu Magic Tropical Stout 🪄🌴
Brewer: SheppyBrew
ABV: 6.6%
IBU: 43
SRM: 38 (mystical black)
Appearance 👀
Pours obsidian-black with a velvety tan head that lingers like jungle mist at midnight. The body is opaque, yet alive with glimmers of burnt amber when held to light. Legs cling to the glass like shadow spirits.
Aroma 👃
Layers of dark chocolate, roasted malt, and licorice swirl with unexpected bursts of ripe tropical fruit—papaya, mango, maybe a banana whisper. The warm fermentation brings esters that add intrigue and illusion to every sniff.

Cuttlefish Czech Amber Lager 🦑🍺
Brewer: SheppyBrew
ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 34
SRM: 15 (deep amber)
Appearance 👀
Pours a shimmering amber with flashes of copper and coral in the light. Dense, off-white foam crowns the glass like sea foam on a tide-washed reef. Moderate clarity and sparkle give it a polished, nautical charm.Aroma 👃
Crackling toast and caramelized malt surface first, chased by faint herbal hops and a splash of ocean breeze (or maybe just noble spice). There's a subtle, almost briny undertone—as if the grains were whispered over by cuttlefish sages.
