Trollyman Pub

Former Trollyman Pub
Way back in the mid 90s they actually brewed large quantities of beer in this Fremont brick classic. The Trollyman was the attached Pub, a place with fresh craft beers pouring and a small stage that occasionally hosted some decent acts along the semi-hippie vibe line. Red Hook sold to Budwieser for someone’s fortune and they closed up this little operation, opting instead for more modern digs up in Woodinville. Now that Budweiser is owned by InBev – Red Hook is European! In a sense.
Now the building houses the theologically intense (remember the mushroom messiah full-page ads in the Stranger ?) Theo Chocolate and the fantastically insane Circus Contraption band of merry freaks. Change is good, sometimes. Red Hook never was my favorite beer. Always seemed a bit clinical.
