Description
Over 10 years ago, Rob and Kelly Horn packed their bags and made the trek from a small town in New Jersey to another small town on the opposite coast: Olympia, Washington. Their obsession with the craft beer scene was immediate. After years of home brewing they decided to make it official and opened a tiny brewery in August of 2014.
Triceratops Brewing Company (with the last name Horn and three awesome kids, was there really any other choice?) began its brewing operations out of the Horn’s home garage. Three years later the couple opened a Tumwater tasting room. Since the grand opening in June of 2017, the brewery has had a steady flow of great customers, good friends, and craft beer lovers.

On tap at Triceratops, pours a hazy amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, light caramel and toasted nuts. Flavour is very malty, with lots of bready caramel malt, low hops but there are some resins and light caramel. Finishes lightly sweet, with a very malt-driven palate. Solid.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. Might as well be Triceratops second location. This is still the only place I ever see these guys. I keep meaning to take a trip down, but with the consistency here, I might not ever have to. Golden pour with a thin, oily head. Interesting try here with the Belgian single malt. Flavor has a slight banana, ripe fruit to it. Slightly sweet. Caramel. Malt forward for sure. Very unique, and interesting. Enjoyable beer here.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound, Bothell. The source of all my Triceratops experiences, though I’d like to change that soon. Clean and clear golden pour with a thin, rocky head. A pretty dank hop aroma on this. Flavor is malt forward. Straw grains, a bit bready. Super hopped up Pilsner like. Earthy hops late. Very unique IPA. Interesting beer here.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound, Bothell. Then only place I’ve seen these guys pop up so far. Open a brewpub! I want to come visit. Clean golden pour with an infinite thick foam head. A pleasant rye IPA here. Better than the typical rye IPA in my opinion. Fresh hops overpower a spicy rye aroma. Flavor is a cool, creamy front, earthy hop punch, and a rye spice that kicks in late. A cool, citrus fruit background to go with. Quite impressed with this offering here. Solid stuff.

Draft 10 oz pour at Hop and Hound, Bothell. Clean, bright golden pour with an active fizz head. First impressions with this, is that its very odd. Plastic grains aroma, earthy as well. Flavor is an odd earthy constant, bready, oaky malt, and a rice like linger. Never had an IPA give me such a rice indicator before. Cool, slightly sweet side to it. This was so extremely odd to me. Add to the retry list. Could be much worse.

Draft - Skunk and some high alcohols. Pale gold with a nice white head. Touch of dank and bitterness. Almost there but not quite.
