Press Release

Hale’s Ales Resumes Restaurant Operations

Hale’s Ales excitedly announces their return to the restaurant industry, effective mid-September. In October, Hale’s will launch their new menu cultivated by Chef Warren Peterson. We are excited to have Warren lend his culinary talents to Hale’s renaissance.

Warren Peterson

Warren is passionate about craft beer and great food showcasing the ingredients through simple, honest preparations. Warren began in the Seattle food scene at the Tom Douglas restaurants. He transitioned to Schooner EXACT Brewing company to get closer to the craft beer and help Matt and Heather McClung launch Schooner’s restaurant. Today, Warren splits his time between Seattle and San Diego.

Truth to the Ingredients

Breweries and pubs have historically been places where people gather, build community, and share food and beverage. We are excited to take up the challenge of running a restaurant amid pandemic market conditions and to be able to offer a place for community to gather that is uniquely Hale’s from beginning to finish. Sharing the same ethos as Craft Beer, our food will showcase high quality ingredients with honest, accessible preparations. The menu will be comprised of old favorites inspired by Hale’s and Schooner’s menus such as meatloaf, hummus plate, BLAT, and the classic Burger in addition to new dishes. For those used to getting their Mexican food fix, we will have carnitas and picadillo tacos.

With regret, due to a recent liquor board enforcement ruling, El Camion and Hale’s must part ways. We wish the El Camion staff all the best and thank them for the good food and friendship over the years. We look forward to eating at their trucks around Seattle.
