I went to Sound to Summit on the recommendation of one of the ladies that work at the local Credit Union I am a member of. She recommended them hands down for their food and beer selection. I had to take her up on it.
Finding the place was a little difficult as it's tucked away in a pocket of offices and other buildings just off the main road. If you're following GPS, when it tells you you've arrived, turn on to the side street, and make 2 left turns into the parking lot, and they're in the corner with the outdoor tables and lights. I actually parked the next lot over and walk to it. (Side Note, I posted the GPS, because if you know me from some of my other ventures, there's a "106" reference in there.)

This place is great. Standard brewery details. If you go in, you can do either bar or sit down at a table and be served straight from there. The food is wonderful, the beer selection is pretty awesome (certainly a Belgian influence) and overall atmosphere is enjoyable.
The special for the week was a Guac Burger. It was a little messy, but absolutely worth it. Coming with a side of fries and some ketchup, it made for the perfect layer to grease me up for what was to come next. Overall, the place was great. You can have a great selection of beer, grab some great food, pleasant staff, and I had an awesome experience, and hope to return at some point.
On my Tap for the Evening was:
Style: Kolsch
Brewery: Sound to Summit Brewing
Untapped Rating: 3.75/5
Description: "Light, fruity, crisp, great aftertaste, refreshing."
Comments: This beer was a great choice for my 500th official beer to earn the rank of "Legendary" on the Untappd App. Light and fruity, it carried an amazing aftertaste, and was overall refreshing. Go for it!
Style: Belgian Blonde Ale
Brewery: Sound to Summit Brewing
Untapped Rating: 4/5
Description: "Golden Light, apple-flavor, very Belgian, great aftertaste, very nice aroma."
Comments: Oh those dear sweet blondes. This Belgian was a beauty! First the aroma was epic! That told me this was going to be worth it. Next the blonde lightness of it was refreshing, fluid, and had a bit of an apple taste mixed in...not quite to the level of cider, but starting there. Finishing it off with an amazing Belgian style aftertaste, and boom, this was awesome, and my favorite beer of the bunch.

Description: "Belgian taste, light bitterness, hint of orange, mild hop, slight spice."
Comments: There's a theme here, Belgian beer. Good call! This one was an interesting IPA. Unlike the more bitter IPAs you can get anywhere, this one mixed light bitterness with a slight hop, hints of orange, and almost a spicy taste to it. None of them standout to crush the others, but blend well to create a smooth taste, with a Belgian finish. Good stuff!

Description: "Very nice IPA, Mix aromas of fruit and citrus, mild hoppiness, and great taste."
Comments: This IPA was pretty good. More on the citrusy side, and a tamer hoppiness. The taste was pretty good, and more smooth. This mixed well with the Guac burger that I started on about this point in the flight. It didn't miss.
Style: Dark Ale
Brewery: Sound to Summit Brewing
Untapped Rating: 3.75/5
Description: "Nice dark ale, very sweet, roasted, like sweet coffee, mild hop."
Comments: This was a nice beer. I don't recall have Cascadian Dark Ale before (though after 500+ in 3 years, it's hard to keep track). This was exceptionally smooth, very sweet with a roasted flavor. It tasted like sweet coffee with a mild hop to it. Very good, and recommended.
Style: Stout
Brewery: Sound to Summit Brewing
Untapped Rating: 4/5
Description: "Amazing stout. Super smooth, coffee flavor, smells like dark chocolate."
Comments: I'm going to go on record and say this is probably the best stout I have tried thus far. It was EXTREMELY smooth, had a great coffee flavor, aromas of dark chocolate, and just super enjoyable. Highly Recommended!
