I am posting this because I’m curious to see if anyone cares. I am particularity curious to hear what people in the industry think. Yesterday the Liquor Control Board adopted revised rules restricting outdoor alcohol advertising at all establishments serving and selling alcohol.

Tonight is another Wednesday night cask crawl in Redmond – an Oostkant Cask Crawl. The Malt and Vine will be serving up a cask of Hale’s Supergoose. Not too terribly far away at Black Raven, they’ll be pouring a cask of Hefenweizer – their German style Hefe.
A few people have asked me what Oostkant means. [...]

The crowd was perfectly divided between the entry from Schooner Exact Brewing and the entry from Diamond Knot Brewing.
