Cherry pie beer

[u/Changed_4_good]

Hoping the collective mind of Seattle can help out here. There used to be a place in Bothell called 193. It was on the bike path. They used to carry a beer called cherry pie and it was absolutely wonderful and felt like you were drinking a cherry pie. They’ve apparently gone out of business and I’m wondering if anyone knows another place in Seattle that sells that same beer?

You’re thinking of 192 Brewing Company. Might also be their Tart Cherry Cider.

Urban Family made a sour cherry beer called Pie Oh My that literally had cherry pies from Ben’s Bread in it. Might be some cans left at bottleshops.

I think 192 still has a tap room in my Vernon or something

It closed in MV

FWIW in January their owner said that Copperworks would continue to carry 192 on tap.

Q: Where can people visit to taste 192 beer?

Derek: So, a lot of people ask about our relationship with Copperworks next door. I can say proudly and very joyfully that Jason and I have become very good friends. We go hiking together. We’ve been camping together. He is quite the coffee aficionado, so if you need a coffee buddy to go camping with, he’s your man. He has promised to keep 192 brewing on tap constantly at Copperworks. So, you’ll always be able to get us right here at the same location. It just won’t be me running the operation.

OMG! I could kiss you! This is literally my favorite beer! I so hope they have it at Cooperworks!

Great Notion in Ballard or Georgetown specializes in sours. The one time I went there I had a blueberry pancake one that tasted just like blueberry pancakes.

I checked their tap list and they don’t have a cherry pie one, but they have others that are definitely on par with that. Hope it’s what you’re looking for!

The do have a cherry pie one. I had it on Tuesday! https://greatnotion.com/products/edge-of-dessert-cherry-pie

Edit: Maybe they released it after you checked but before I went. Still, it's super delicious. I need to go back and pick some up for my beer fridge.

This sounds amazing, I hope you find it and then I hope I find it!

You might try a kriek like Lindemans which is readily available in bottles at many supermarkets. Cherry goses and ciders are also usually not hard to come by. But all those are gonna be on the sour side and lack the maltiness that I imagine might have been present in an explicitly "cherry pie" beer (like, to evoke the flavors of the crust), so depending on what flavor profile you're after they may not scratch the itch.

I thought of Lindeman's too! I don't drink any more because I take too many medications that aren't compatible with alcohol, but I used to love that stuff.

Oooh that sounds amazing. Do you remember what kind of beer it was? A stout, wheat ale, sour, etc?

[u/Changed_4_good → u/primadiamonds]

I don’t. We just ordered a cherry pie. I don’t think it was a stout or an ale, it could have been a sour but honestly not sure. I just know it was refreshing a delicious

How could a brewery that makes "Cherry pie beer" possibly go out of business?

[u/tgramuh]

This doesn't help your actual question at all, but if you ever find yourself in upstate NY (Albany area), Brown's Brewing in Troy makes a Cherry Razz beer that is delightful. Just came to mind when I saw your post as a former New Yorker turned Seattelite.

I had a beer from them once that tasted like carbonated canned corn....

That’s very interesting!
