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…

12

Washington welcomes more new breweries and more applications

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…
