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. Among other things, this rule impacts the size and number of signs [...]
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: “The [...]
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 [...]
Time once again for the Beveridge Place Pub’s IPA Cask-o-Rama — a wonderful celebration of good firkin beer! The event starts this Thursday, Nov. 5th at 6:00 p.m. and runs until the end of business on Saturday. Where else can you find 24 different cask-conditioned IPAs on tap at once? Even if you cannot make [...]
Laurelwood Pub and Brewery opened last Friday in Battle Ground, Washington. With multiple locations around Portland, Laurelwood has finally made their way north of the Columbia River into Washington.

This time we’re asking you to select your favorite Seattle-area beer bar. There are a lot of them around here and we’ve only included the ones that we think are most [...]
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. [...]
Last night we attended the Beveridge Place Pub’s first-ever Iron Brewers competition, which ended in a tie. The crowd was perfectly divided between the entry from Schooner Exact Brewing and the entry from Diamond Knot Brewing. The two beers, brewed using orange as the theme ingredient, were remarkably different. Personally, I had a tough time [...]

We were thinking… Evening Magazine is polling people to learn what they think about Washington’s brew pubs and beer bars (see our post), so why shouldn’t we? After all, our readers are the ones with opinions that really matter. You guys are the experts in this field. Having met many of you –the people who [...]
