My holiday break ended up not being quite what I had in mind, but I got to explore a few breweries in the Tri-Cities and see beloved family members, which is always a treat. I’ve already wrote about Badger Mountain in Richland, now where’s a brewery to hit afterwards!

Snowshoes & Brews Part II: Icicle Brewing
After snowshoeing most of the way up to Lanham Lake, it was time for Part II of REI’s snowshoes and brews guided expedition–the beer!
It’s the Most Wonderful Time for a Beer!
Despite what the calendar says, winter is here, as proven by that cold snap we had last week and Christmas merriment all about. With winter comes winter and holiday seasonal beers to keep your belly as warm and toasty as the rest of you. I decided to put together a list of my favorite winter […]

Bainbridge Brewing
If you’re headed back to Seatte after hiking in the Olympic Peninsula, like we were, you have tons of apres-hike beer options. With choosing the Bainbridge ferry back home, we knew there were tons of good options between the Lower Grey Wolf River and the ferry terminal.

Breweries in the Gorge
Just like Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, you too can blaze a trail along the Columbia River Gorge–an ale trail!

Microbrews, micro post. I know the term ‘microbrew’ got replaced by ‘craft beer,’ but I feel like that switch happened on a dime and I look old when I slip up and say ‘microbrew.’ Either way, there’s great beer to be had here after any hike, from coast to mountains.
