I have just updated our list of Washington Breweries and Brewpubs to include all of the microbreweries currently licensed in the state. We have added a total of 11 entries and removed one, so really the net total is nine, with eight new breweries. Sufficiently confused? I thought so. By our counting, there are now…
Last March we told you about 12 String Brewing, a new brewery opening in Spokane Valley, WA. (Read that post.) Yesterday we told you about some of the latest news from the Liquor Control Board regarding new license applications, new license approvals, and so on. Today we learned that 12 Strings Brewing is somewhere between…
By our reckoning, there are now 153 breweries in Washington. (See our list of Washington Breweries and Brewpubs.) That statement comes with all the usual caveats and disclaimers. The number is based on the Washington State Liquor Control Board’s official list of Licensed Microbreweries and is then adjusted using our own less-than-scientific method of calculation….
Saturday’s sunny weather served as a brief reminder that it is spring here in the northwest: the season of birth and rebirth. I’m not sure craft breweries are actually born, but they certainly are springing to life at an alarming rate these days. In the spring of 2008, Kim and I decided to write a…

The event will take place on Saturday, February 26th at the brewery and tap room near the waterfront in Edmonds. Along with great beer, there will be live music,…
Every now and again we take a look at recent microbrewery licensing activities. We get our information from the Liquor Control Board. Here’s what has happened in the past 30 days. (BTW – We are currently working on upgrading our brewery and brewpub mapping system. The existing map is up and running, but we want…
We try to keep up, really we do, but the brewing scene around here is a very dynamic thing. Breweries apply for licenses and then are never heard from again. Other breweries are awarded their microbrewery licenses and then never actually materialize. By our reckoning—our best attempt to understand the reality of the situation—there are…
We have just added five new breweries to our list of Washington Breweries and Brew Pubs. This brings the total to 135 active, licensed microbreweries in Washington. The five latest additions are listed below. Lantern Brewing in Seattle North Sound Brewing in Mount Vernon Northwest Peaks Brewery in Seattle Vital Brewing in Everett White Bluffs…
The last time we did one of these posts it was early August. At that time we reported that 12 new Washington breweries were looming on the horizon, threatening to pop into existence. Read that report. It hasn’t even been two months and we have nine more to report. This is getting crazy. Can you…
