I tried Manny’s for the first time last week and was impressed. It’s one of the best Pale Ale’s I’ve had based in the Pacific Northwest along with Alaska’s Sleeping Lady’s Urban Ale.

The odd thing about Manny’s (and Urban Ale) is that it’s not available in bottles or cans. You have to order a draught at a bar. That’s a problem when it comes to introducing the beer to new people – I didn’t even know it existed. I had to ask a coworker who ordered it what it was all about.

I’m definitely looking forward to trying other offerings from Georgetown Beer – I hear their seasonals are great.

Manny’s description from Georgetown Beer’s website: A careful selection of Northwest hops, premium barley, and our unique yeast give this ale a rich and complex malty middle with a snappy hop finish. It’s truly a micro that finishes crisp, clean, and smooth.
