The Washington Beer Blog is a collaborative effort. The goal is to provide a single place on the Web where beer lovers can find information about Washington beer — news, events, beer bars, the Seattle beer scene and more.
We are independent. We are not working for Washington brewers. We are just happy and proud to live somewhere that has such a vibrant brewing community. The Washington Beer Blog respects and appreciates our local brewers, and there would be nothing for us to blog about if it wasn’t for their heroic efforts, but we are not blogging on their behalf. We work for you, the beer lovers of Washington.
