Fistfights break out over the topic, but truth is the best beer in Seattle is Manny’s by the growler, straight from the source at the Georgetown Brewing Company. At $6, it’s also the best deal. Manny’s hits that sweet spot at the intersection of drinkability, reliability, and taste that takes the long view. There are plenty of suds you can spend the afternoon with, but Manny’s is good for a lifetime. CHRIS KORNELIS 5200 Denver Ave. S., 766-8055, georgetownbeer.com
