2009 Review – Life, liberty and the pursuit of good beer

UPDATE: We have named a winner in our Facebook contest. Lorraine -a.k.a. the Beveridge Place Beer Goddess- was the very first person to guess and she got it exactly right. Behold the awesome power of Lorraine. This was not rigged. It kind of freaks me out, actually. She’s got powers, or something. The complete list of breweries is below.

We put a lot of miles on the Washington Beer Cruiser in 2009. From Whistler, BC to Milton-Freewater, OR, we crossed borders and visited exotic lands. From Neah Bay to Walla Walla, we traveled interstates and back roads to meet interesting people and drink beer with them. We’d be lying if we said that the purpose of each adventure was the pursuit of good beer, but wherever we go we seem to find a way to make it about beer.

I just did some math and the total for 2009  is somewhere around 3,400 miles. That’s a conservative estimate and does not include a lot of local trips to places like Mukilteo, Tacoma, and Snoqualmie. Along the way we visited a total of 42 breweries. We wrote about many of them here on the Washington Beer Blog.

Here is the list of the breweries we visited in 2009:
