You all know about microbrews, yes, great beverages around the world!! Cools the brow and warm your soul! There is just something about that first taste of a bitter, pale, india ale, or a softer and sweeter amber ale.

If you've never had a Fishtale Mud Shark Porter, this is a hearty brew made up of seven malt varieties, including an especially generous portion of chocolate malt.

Then, Mudshark gains hop bitterness in the kettle, including a late addition imparting a gentle zest. The result of all this is a happy salute to your inner chocolate lover.

I like all of the Organic Amber Ale, especially in a cold mug out of a tap. Bottles are available in the local Olympia, WA stores however.

The Fishtale folks opened a small restaurant and bar across the street from the brewery a few years ago, and it has since been remodeled and expanded. It is now "the" hangout for local college and Olympia locals care about quality beer.

The Fish Tale Brewpub and the Fish Brewery are located at the corner of Jefferson and Legion Way (515 Jefferson St. SE) in downtown Olympia. There’s plenty of free parking nearby. You can call (360) 943-6480.
