Get it?! Higher Learning! Well, that’s what #motherearthbrewco’s newest Project-X Series release inspired us to accent this beer with, books! Mostly a pile of beer books. But we did sneak in some Calvin & Hobbes!

A collaboration with #bottleworksbeer as part of their 25th Anniversary, #livinghausbeer has produced a Double Dry-Hopped West Coast India Pale Ale. You know what, let’s just cal it DDH WCIPA. Even that’s too long of an abbreviation!
And how does it taste?! Well!
Patty, as the beer is nicknamed, named after owner Matthew Vandenberghe’s mother, is not shy about the hops. With notes of pungent grapefruit, pineapple, orange citrus, pine, a bit of dankness and some licorice. #beer #Photography

A change of pace. #coconut #rum #mojito #cocktail #saturday

On a tip, we stopped by #ilkbeer
. Grabbed ourselves some ‘Love As Lager’ Corn Lager, 4.4%ABV and an Onion Smash Burger, sans fries (because we forgot to save them and ate them all). If you’re familiar with Fish Brewing Company’s taproom, then you’ll recognize the changes. Stop by Thursday thru Saturday, 11am to 10 pm and Sunday 11 am - 8 am. #olympia #washington #beer #photography #burgers

Trying something different, the Bottleworks crew have released themselves a cider, courtesy @barmanncellars.

Even though it's not #caturday, we wanted to share some depressing news. Ok, being frank and real for a moment, it's monumentally fucked up!
After 15+ years, months of weight loss and deteriorating health, we made the choice to put our male, ginger tabby, to sleep.
On April 6th, 2024, he spent his last hours receiving one last pet, one last tummy rub, one less kiss on the head, before enjoying one last dream.
He was "our boy". We will miss him!
Today, we raise a glass to our Dante. xoxo

Dubbed Don, the beer will support "Don't Drink Beer" journalist, Alex Kidd, as they battle cancer. #pdx #oregon #cancer #beer #news

An IPA that is inspired lagers, #doublemountainbrewing Bier Wulf Bavarian IPA takes inspiration from classic German lagers with the use of German hops, blended with regional American hops. When you combine German malts, you create the foundation for a Bavarian IPA.

Braved a typical #Seattle winter day, by visiting #balebreaker’s taproom #balebreakerballard to check out their latest Frenz, Frenz IPA. Made in collaboration with #vonebertbrewing and #barleybrownbrewing, Frenz has punchy notes of strawberries, fruit punch, pine, and a bit of cannabis-like dankness. Unlike this weather, Frenz is not watered down at 6.3%.
