Firestone Walker Retraction

Today (Fri. July 31) we posted a story about Firestone Walker and referred to them as an Anheuser-Busch brand. This is not true and we are sorry for the confusion. We were misled by comments made haphazardly by a distributor and we failed to do our own research. We sincerely apologize. The original post has…

Happening Tonight – Iron Horse at the Bev

Tonight (THU, MAY 28) 7:00PM – Iron Horse Brewers Night at the Beveridge Place Pub. Ellensburg’s finest makes the trek through the pass to bring us IPA, Loco-Motive Imperial Red, Black IPA, and a brand new brew – Bier de Garde! They’re sure to be giving away some schwag as well.

Signs of Life in Chilliwack

HOPS! Yes, really. The pale ale (single hopped with Cascades) is simple and delicious. The IPA is as aggressively hopped as…

A Visit to BC, eh?

(Tues. May, 26) Your humble Beer Bloggers are taking a short break from Washington beer and have wandered up to Whistler, BC. Currently we are at the Whistler Brewhouse — Whistler’s lone brewery. They have a red ale that is acceptable, a pale ale that does not completely suck, a hefe that we actually like,…

The folks at the Bev brought in an amazing assortment of distinctively bodacious brews for this weekend’s Bodacious Brew Fest. With so many uncommon beers to…

Live from South Seattle Brew Tour

We are here live at Schooner Exact’s new brewery in South Park, where the band is jamming, the ‘que is smoking, and the beer is flowing. Laughing Buddha Brewing (now Trade Route Brewing) and Baron Brewing are here in the same business park as Schooner. Three breweries, one parking lot. All are part of today’s…

Live – It’s a Beautiful Firkin Throwdown

We are at the Firkin-Firkin Throwdown here at Elysian Cap Hill. It is a beautiful thing, for sure. Some great beer and some firkin rare firkins – Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. In a firkin? Yep. Pizza Port Poor Man’s IPA? Huh? We expected a larger crowd but we’re sure it will grow. Plenty of people,…
