Pliny for Parks and our first visit to The Noble Fir
I like it when good beer is paired with a good cause. With that in mind, have you heard about Pints for Parks? Each Wednesday from 6:30 til close, The Noble Fir in Ballard donates one dollar for every pint sold to local parks. Heck, maybe you’ve never even heard of The Noble Fir. As…
Drinking in the rain, Skamania style
This past weekend we pointed the Washington Beer Cruiser south through the torrential rain to Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, WA, where they were hosting a Celebration of Beer weekend. (Read our prior post about the event.) The planners wisely rented a large tent for the event, and it certainly wasn’t a chilly day, so the crowd enjoyed beer, food and…

Among other things, this rule impacts the size and number of signs…
Draft magazine’s list of Seattle’s best
The current issue of Draft magazine includes a listing of the Top 150 Beer Bars in the country (Draft magazine, Jan-Feb 2010). Six of our local beer joints made the list. If you were conducting this important research, what would be your criteria? Draft kept things rather ambiguous, stating only that they were looking for:…
Live from the new Jolly Roger
We’re live at the new Maritime Pacific Jolly Roger Taproom, at the preview event for WABL members. It’s standing room only, with a free cask of IPA blown in 18 minutes. No worries, pints will be two dollars all night (open until 10 p.m.). George Hancock just welcomed the crowd and is now offering brewery…

The bottles go home with you, the wrapped gifts go to whoever, and the proceeds go to charity. Here’s the official word from the Bev: Specialty “To…
