Beer list at Quinn's

[mandyf]

Just got back from a fantastic trip to Seattle...and I'm trying to track down the name of a beer I had at Quinn's in Capitol Hill. I was hoping there was a beer list on their website...but I'm out of luck. Maybe you guys can help? It was a beer dark in color but very light in body. I wish I had made note of it...I would love to track down this beer for future consumption. Thanks!

Just in case you were curious, I emailed Quinn's and they listed several options of what I could have had that fits the description. They even offered me to drop by for a tasting to try to figure it out! Talk about nice!

From the list I recognized the name: Grimbergen Dubbel--a Belgian dubbel that is the color of classic brown ale that you'd expect to be heavy but in fact is round and malty. Now I'll have to be on the look-out for this beer at other pubs!

Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre?

perhaps Black Butte porter? http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/BrewP...

I don't think that was it. it was a foreign sounding name...with 2 words. I'm not at all a beer connoisseur so all the names on the list were greek to me. I had asked the server for a recommendation for something light but tasty to drink and he suggested this beer. It was very good...I had 2 glasses with my meal. I wish I had written it down.

The first thing that pops into my head when I hear "dark beer / light body" is Negro Modelo.
