    Seattle Breweries: Nine Beers, Eight Breweries, and Light Beers in an IPA Town

    The hosts taste test 9 different beers from their top Seattle breweries. These are the places they would relocate to their deserted island. It's a little about food trucks, a little about views, and mostly about the beers and the vibes. As you can imagine, things go a bit off the rails by the last section of the pod, so buckle up. And don't blame us if you find yourself craving an ice-cold beer in the first few minutes. Show notes: https://www.thedesertislandpod.com/seattle-breweries
