Dru Bru at Snoqualmie Pass is a great beer stop for anyone hiking or snowshoeing near the pass. They’ve added a second location for the lucky folks in Cle Elum!

Skol to Poulsbo Breweries!
As I mentioned last week, my cousin recently moved to Poulsbo, WA. I decided to pay him, and some of the breweries there, a visit!
Camp Colvos Brewing
Last time I was on Vashon Island, I stopped a block short from seeing this brewery. I knew I had to correct that mistake on my return trip!
Rogue Issaquah Brewhouse
Currently, Oregon-based Rogue Ales has one out of state location–located 20 miles east of Seattle in Issaquah, a prime location for hikers in need of an ale!
101 Brewery
After limping back down Mt. Townsend, I needed beer (and ice, and ibuprofen). Luckily, a few miles from the forest road was 101 Brewery in Quilcene!
Lost Coast Brewery
Years ago at Blues n’ Brews in Richland, I sampled a beer so wondrously like nectar–Lost Coast’s Tangerine Wheat. Now, years later, it was finally time to have one fresh from the source!
Eel River Brewing Co
After exploring the Avenue of the Giants, a short drive from the North entrance to the road is Eel River Brewing Co in Fortuna, CA, which was the first certified organic brewery in the US.
North Jetty Brewing
Maybe it’s my city-girl bias talking, but in the last year, twice I’ve been genuinely surprised to greatly enjoy beer from a small-town brewery. If people are coming to the only brewery around for miles, I guess I thought some places would skimp on taste or quality. But not in Long Beach!
Stormy Mountain Brewing
While Chelan might be famous for its’ wineries, fear not, hop-heads: There’s a brewery right in town for you!
Sound to Summit Brewing
If one were to choose to play hooky to hike and get a beer (or if one works an alternative schedule), many breweries might not be open weekdays, especially weekday afternoons. But if hiking up north, Sound to Summit in Snohomish has got your back!
