Welcome to Washington, Firestone Walker! Thanks to the Fullpint.com for the heads up on the press release (see below). I’m not sure if we’ll see their beers on shelves immediately, but I’d highly suggest giving them a try when you see them. Their Union Jack IPA ranks up there with Pliny the Elder (from Russian […]

April 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Events
Cheers to Chris Devlin over at the Beer Retard for bringing this to my attention the other day. He’s got a great writeup of the event that there isn’t anything to add to it, so I’m going to quote it. But, you should head to his site to check out the sweet pics of Cavy. […]

Get Out of Town This Weekend – More Barleywine & April Brews Day
April 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Beer Travels, Events, Washington Breweries
There are two great events going on this weekend outside of Seattle that should give you a good reason to take a mini-roadtrip. Parkway Tavern Barleywine Festival in Tacoma – If you didn’t get enough barleywine in March here in Seattle, you’re in luck. The Parkway is one of Tacoma’s beer bright spots, and this […]

– I’m sure quite a few of you saw Beer Wars last night…what did you think? I opted to wait for DVD and enjoyed a great dinner (complete with Snipes Mountain Porter) at La Medusa in Columbia City. Great food and nice atmosphere (but don’t expect a “beer joint”). If you go, do yourself a favor […]

5 Questions from A Lazy Beer Writer – Joel Vandenbrink of Two Beers Brewery
April 16th, 2009 · 3 Comments · General Beer News, Washington Breweries
I don’t get out as much as I used to these days, and even when I do have time to there are many nights I’m content just sitting at home drinking a couple beers, rather than hitting the bars/breweries and scouring for information to post on the blog. That’s where I’m hoping these wonderful internets […]

I thought I’d pass on this interesting video about lambics; nice to see the exposure on the WSJ. I think I may have to drink something sour tonight…
