A part of this site will be to plug and review the local Brewpubs of the Boise and Treasure Valley area.
The first on the list is Sockeye Grill and Brewery on Cole road. Their Dagger Falls IPA is a regular and a favorite of mine. I also particularly liked the Hopnixious Imperial IPA and the Split tail Stout, the latter of which I think has not returned since it’s debut in early ’08. Josh King, the brewer keeps the regular line-up going and new seasonals are usually posted out front on the reader board when they come on.
In side it is a bit dark and has a kind of old, comfortable feel. A couple of TVs are over the bar and are not obnoxious to those that don’t care about PAC-10 “whatevers” going on. Friendly staff and an over all relaxed atmosphere where you are not bombarded by neon, brass, 32 flavors of Margaritas and 60″ plasma TVs.
At 8 o’clock on Tuesdays and Fridays, local bands perform and the place gets pretty rockin’. especially in the Summer when the usually full house spills out in to the patio.
I consider it my home BrewPub. Especially on Tuesdays where it is 2$ Pints.
