  I like ‘em dirty. Pike Naughty Nellie 

  As I will be heading up to Seattle tomorrow, I thought it appropriate to finally mention how much I dig Naughty Nellie Golden Ale. As a matter of fact, in the fridge these days are several bottles of Nellie’s curves, taunting me to drink. You know how the naughty ones are, “don’t have milk Frosty…look at my sexy yellow bottle.”

  Ok, if I’m calling a bottle sexy perhaps I’ve had enough beer already. But the point is that currently, Nellie is in the running to unseat Haymaker as the 2009 Summer Easy Drink’r. Its light, its tasty, and has none of the armpit taste that some golden ales seem to have.

  If the Pike folks happen to read this before I make it up there tomorrow, make sure your wi-fi is running. Frosty wants some Pike on tap, and as that girl I met on the college road trip can attest to, there is no better way to get me going than to get me a little drunk and put me online.

  Pike Brewing – Kilt Lifter Ruby Ale 

  

  I’m not sure who Ruby is, but she’s not in this beer. None the less, this is a good easy drinking beer, that helps me sit through a Madden pregame. And boy does one need help when it comes to that.

  Update: Since for the first time in our 130-odd reviews that we had the actual brewer comment on one of our posts, I feel obliged to elaborate just a bit.

  Ok, just a little. Although it didn’t have the strong Ruby taste of a McMenamins, the beer itself was very good, and I would certainly buy and drink again. And that folks, is the true measure of any great beer.

  Frosty, and Brewsterra are discussing. Toggle Comments

    Glad you enjoyed our beer. Just an aside, “ruby” refers to the color of the ale; Kilt Lifter is a rich Scotch Ale with hints of lightly peated malt. It is Pike’s most popular beer. At the Pike Pub we offer a sampler of six of our beers from lightest in color to darkest. Pike Naughty Nellie organic golden ale, Pike Pale Ale, Pike IPA, Pike Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale (ruby ale), Pike Tandem Double Ale and Pike XXXXX Extra Stout. Whenever we ask which beer our guests like best, it is almost always #4 Kilt Lifter. We hope you will have an opportunity to visit Pike and our Microbrewery Museum.

    Hey, thanks for stopping by! The crew and I will have to take a trip up to Seattle this Summer to check out the Museum and Brewery. Hey you never know, maybe a Kilt Lifter on tap would bump you up to a 5
