Brewery #2: Issaquah Brewhouse (Rogue Brewery)
I couldn't really taste the mocha in this one. I'm not sure if my taste buds were shot by the time I got to it or if it's really just not that strong. The taste was decent but nothing special.

Brewery #1: Pyramid Breweries
The picture makes it look like it's snowing, but don't be fooled. Kelsey just had some crap on her camera.

And So It Begins
"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin
The long awaited "Year of Beer" has begun.
The goal:
To visit every brewery in the state of Washington that is currently producing and selling their own beer during the year of 2009.
The rules:
1. Physically visit every brewery in Washington that is listed here: http://www.washingtonbeer.com/pdf/brewery_list-all-2008.pdf.
2. If a sampler is available, order and enjoy. If not, drink at least a pint of whatever is on tap.
3. Leave with a souvenir.
4. Provide proof with a picture.
5. Finish the list by December 31st, 2009.
The participants:
Me (Erin)
Kyle (My patient boyfriend who goes everywhere with me)
Jenn (My roommate who shares my love of beer)
Kelsey (My other roommate who will go to as many breweries as she can with her busy schedule)
This quest is by no means exclusive. I'll provide dates for major trips and anyone is welcome to attend any visit to any brewery. The more the merrier when beer is involved.
Check back here to read about our adventures and to hear my comments about each beer. I'm by no means an expert, but I consider my opinion to be pertinent and influential.
Cheers!
