Elysian Brewing Company is opening a new production brewing facility in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood. There will be no taproom or pub. Instead, this will be a production facility only, featuring a 60-barrel brewhouse and 240-barrel fermenters. Continuing growth over years created a justifiable need for this kind of expansion. We talked to Elysian’s Dick Cantwell…

Washington beer, live on the air – Monday, Dec 6th
The local mainstream media pays woefully little attention to the local beer scene. It is mystifying, really. Can you imagine England’s media not paying attention to soccer? On Monday, for an hour at least, that all changes when Washington beer will be the topic of discussion on one of the region’s most powerful radio outlets—KUOW…
Washington beers headed south. Way south.
Over the past few years a seemingly endless stream of out-of-state beers has flooded into the flourishing Washington craft beer market.

Northern Ales moves to the big city
A couple of years ago we told you about Northern Ales—the brewery in North Port, WA that we’d dubbed Washington’s most remote brewery.

Brouwer’s turns the taps over to Washington beers
Starting tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct. 13th) Brouwer’s Cafe in Seattle will turn its attention to Washington-brewed beers. They will be pouring nothing but Washington beer for a week. When Brouwer’s says that they’re switching out all of the taps, it’s no small feat. The venerable Fremont beer mecca features as many as 64 beers on tap…
Tailgating, Washington Beer Style
Another installment from our newest contributor – Growler Guy. By Growler Guy When you mix these things together – beer, friends, food, football – good things are likely going to happen. My wife and I joined some friends in braving the weather this weekend to tailgate prior to the Arizona State-Washington Pac-10 football game. Most…
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…
