The Washington Beer Blog hits the road
Your friendly Washington Beer Bloggers are about to head out on a two week adventure–a roadtrip, campout, and trek for warmth and sunshine. Likely we’ll point the Washington Beer Cruiser south, but we’ll see. We know this, we will be in Denver for the Great American Beer Festival (Sept 16-18). The blog will not be…
Northwest Cider Association – poised to start a cider revolution?
Happy August. Hot enough for ya? Can I get you a drink to help cool you off? Yes, we all love beer, but when the weather gets this hot I often find that my mind wanders away from big hearty ales and thinks about cool, crisp, delicious apple cider. While the brands of cider that…
A new kind of website for a new beer bar

After all, some one has to do it. In this story,…
To drink or not to drink. Local, that is.

Guys, mom was wrong. Beer does attract chicks.
Some one just directed us on to this video. It’s a story that appeared the other night on King 5 news. It’s about a new “beer fueled” perfume. The story is done by Eric Wilkinson, who we know to be a craft beer aficionado, so we thought it was worth a quick post. Just remember,…
