Tomo Nakayama 🌊
Born in Japan and raised in Seattle, Washington, Tomo is an artist whose melodic, complex and emotionally compelling music has been praised by the likes of NPR, New York Times, and KEXP. Tomo’s fourth album “Ocean” was released on November 7 on Porchlight Records/Den Tapes in the USA, and in Japan on Lemon House Inc. It is his most personal and complete musical statement to date, a self-produced ten song reflection on grief, healing, and the meaning of creating art and maintaining humanity in a tumultuous world. “Ocean” travels across sonic worlds of dream pop, orchestral acoustic folk, jazzy psychedelia and indie rock, all tied together by a wide open melodic and lyrical heart.

Debbie Miller 🎸
Seattle songwriter Debbie Miller is like a mesmerizing book of short stories. Her music is a masterclass in contrast: wit wrapped around melancholy, vulnerability laced with irony. She disarms with humor, then delivers the kind of emotional depth that lingers long after the song is over.

The winter solstice brings the long-awaited return of our rich and ridiculously tasty Darkest Night Quad (DNQ). We’ll be pouring the ’23, ’24, and brand-new ’25 editions—plus our beloved barrel-aged version. If Belgian beers are your thing, Quadsmas is a celebration you won’t want to miss.

Why are Belgian Quads such a big deal? Let us tell you.
Belgian Quadrupels (or “Quads”) are the deep, contemplative giants of the monastic brewing world. Think huge notes of dark fruit, fig, raisin, and caramelized sugar; warming complexity; and a silky richness that is never cloying. These beers are traditionally brewed in small quantities, meant for sharing, cellaring, and savoring—often around winter holidays.

Quads are prized because they show what happens when simple ingredients meet patient, old-world technique: long boils, expressive Belgian yeast strains, careful fermentation, and time. The result is a beer that evolves year to year, gaining layers of flavor and character as it ages. It’s why side-by-side verticals are such a treat, and why this style holds a near-mythic status among Belgian beer lovers.

This year’s Quadsmas lets you taste that evolution for yourself, all in one night - or for as long as the kegs of cellared quads last!

International Emo Day is December 19! Come drink Barrel Aged beers and listen to emo music and hang out with us.

Dress in your emo finest, wear your thickest eyeliner and bring all your angsty friends. We’ll have cute little emo stickers.

We're taking a page out of Iceland's Jólabókaflóð, or “Christmas book flood" tradition and hosting a holiday book exchange event at Obec.

—Bring a WRAPPED book(s) to add to the book pile.

—End up with a new book(s) at the end of the event!

—Hang out and enjoy your book and your beer with fellow book and beer lovers!

Think: white elephant exchange -- but with good books!

PS: Our Obec Book Club meets monthly, mostly on last Mondays. The next Book Club meeting is Dec 29, when we’ll be discussing Bel Canto by Amy Patchett

Join us at the taproom for a festive night of creativity, community, and craft beer! This holiday season, we’ll be painting a charming snowy scene of the Pike Place Market sign glowing in the night - winter magic, and that unmistakable Seattle charm.

No painting experience? No worries! You'll be guided step-by-step, and all supplies are included. Bring your friends, your holiday spirit, and get ready to sip, paint, and unwind as we create something merry and bright.

Space is limited - grab your spot now!

Event Timing: Friday December 12th 6pm-9pm

Event Address: 907 NW 50th St Seattle, WA 98107
