Holy Mountain Brewing located on Elliot Ave in Seattle has a tremendous selection of beers. We highly recommend ’Spirit Crusher’ to accompany the majestic sound of Museum of Light. The 8.5% double IPA is brewed with two row, pilsner , malted oats, flaked barley and a touch of sugar, citra, mosaic, simcoe added to the kettle. Dry-hopped and has a big fluffy body with intense tropical and stone fruit aromas and flavors.
