A new addition to Bainbridge beer culture: Ale House on Winslow to open this summer

Sixteen taps and an additional 20- to 30-bottle beer selection.

A rooftop patio in the summer and cozy haven in the winter.

Communal seating in the front and booths in the back.

In a few short months, Ale House on Winslow will become the new over-21 hangout and a corner for beer lovers and beer enjoyers.

Itll be a pretty unique beer experience for the island and for Seattle in general, said part-owner Travis Samson. Were hoping to make it kind of a landmark in the state for having great beer.

Located next door to the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Ale House on Winslow is expected to be the ultimate beer sampler.

Whether its an unfamiliar craft beer brewed at an up-and-coming brewery in Seattle or a trusty Rainier, Samson said, the alehouse will find something you like.

A lot of guys dont drink craft beer, Samson said. My philosophy has always been, any body in the world, unless youre allergic, I can find a beer that youll like and well have it.

Samson is a longtime brewer.

After spending most of his college career as a home brewer, he entered the Master Brewer Program at the World Brewing Academy. This took him first to the Siebel Institute in Chicago then to the Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany.
