We have more than our share of great beer bars in Seattle. The Pine Box, located on Pine & Melrose in Capitol Hill, has risen towards the top of that list of great bars in a short amount of time. Since opening in 2012, they have been rotating as good of a selection of beer through their taps as any other bar in the city. The atmosphere is tough to beat as well. Set in an old funeral home, it features a beautiful, big, open room that manages to give the feel of a grand beer hall & at the same time be a comfortable place to pull a stool up at the bar for a few. It has certainly become one of my favorite bars in town, and I’m not alone. Pine Box has been included in Draft Magazine’s list of America’s Top 100 Beer Bars in both 2013 & 2014.

They know how to throw a good party at Pine Box, and their 2nd Anniversary party this Thursday evening will be no exception. They will be releasing a beer to commemorate the occasion. Called 2nd Nail, it is a Sour Apple Berlinerweisse brewed by 10 Barrel Brewing, located in Bend, OR. It features fresh pressed juice from Tieton Cider Works in WA. They will have the beer on draft as well as in bottles. In addition, they are pulling some great kegs out of the cellar:
