Opening Night Plan

So it looks like the following will be on the agenda for opening night:
Hale's Brewery for the kickoff of Seattle Beer Week and the release of the SBW beer then on to Shultzy's Sausage for a few pints in the U.D. (maybe a rare cask of something or other). Finally ending up at Naked City for a tour of beers brewed in Seattle proper. Sweet.
