New Brewery Coming to Downtown
In more Tacoma booze-related and Brewery District news this week, Seattle Beer News reports Wingman Brewers will open at the edge of the downtown brewery district in the next few months.
According to the story, the brewery will begin strictly as a production brewery with keg distribution.
Between work starting on the new McMenamins project, a new downtown distillery, and now this news, 2011 is looking to be a good year for craft booze and brews in Tacoma.

Mr. or Ms. Low Bar….have you been to any of the pubs in Tacoma? The Parkway, The Red Hot, Terry’s Office, Magoos Annex, The Stongate, The Alehouse…the list goes on and on of great places you can get some food and a pint in Tacoma. If you go down to any of these pubs after 5pm you’re gunna find the hardworking people that make Tacoma Great…not to mention the wait staff. If you don’t like Tacoma’s pubs maybe you should go to England..or Seattle

“…dive bars rule. TOT is the best bar in town IMHO…”
Funny thing is, I bet I could design a great bar. I have lots of cool ideas, but no ambition to operate a bar/pub.

What’s all this about bars and beer and Acme Grub BS. I was talking to my friend Billy bemoaning the state of gritty T Town and he had great news. Forget Russel, Nalley and Mc Shenimins. Apparently the Game on Sports bar on Sixth Ave has new owners and they have a HUGE concept. A new bar staffed with “little people” and with handy stripper poles on the bar. Oh yes.. Tacoma is back, Baby.

I’m a huge fan of Doyles Pub. Frankly, I don’t care if they call it a pub, bar, watering hole, or whatever. If I like it I like it. And I like it.

If anyone was at the Beautiful Angle benefit at King’s Books in December, Wingman was servin’ up some nice samples of their brew! Delish if I say so myself.

Bars and pubs are not differentiated by whether or not their clientele are ‘hardworking’ or ‘gritty’. The traditional differences are your drink options (liquor or no liquor?) and your food options (appetizers/snacks vs full meals?). In my experience, this definition is not strictly adhered to in the US. The article says Wingman is going to distribute kegs, bars serve beer out of kegs, so I’d expect to see them served in bars as well as pubs.
