"end of the day..." by Chris Blakeley from the Seattlest Flickr pool.Listen up carbo-carnivores, it's National Donut Day and if you are searching for excuses to avoid walking into the nearest Krispy Kreme, Top Pot, Mighty-O, you are screwed. Two words: free donuts. With most of the proprietors providing you with a gratis, bready, spare tire, you still might have to cough of some change for a cup of joe.

If you are like the rest of us on this Friday, you might consider something different and pair that doughnut with a beer. So here are a couple of quick suggestions to try if you are curious...and hey, they are near the participating spots to boot.

Have Some Kreme with your Mocha or Milk
Drive over to Krispy on 12505 Aurora Avenue North and head south to Hales for a Cream Ale or Cream Stout. Think of it as a Mocha or a Glass of Milk.

Artisan Beer Meets Mass Produced Baked Good
With another Krispy Kreme in So'Do (1900 1st Avenue South) it might be helpful to know that opening at 3 PM Epic Ales might know a thing or two about what beer goes well with that original glazed.

Menage a Kreme
Take a drive down to Issaquah's Krispy Kreme (6210 E Lake Sammamish Parkway) and then stop over to Front Street for a Menage a Frog Belgian-style Tripel at the Issaquah Brew house.

Donuts with the Gods
Fancy yourself a Mighty O (organic) cake donut by pairing that bad boy with a Dragon's Tooth Stout, Perseus Porter, at Elysian Tangletown.

Happy National Donut Day everyone, get out there and eat.

Cheers
