The brewery that I was looking for when I accidentally found Dubtown Brewing was Four Generals Brewing. The brewery was only a couple blocks from Dubtown, but was clearly in a more local business community and should have the environment and prices to match. The taproom was small, but open to the street due to … Continue reading Four Generals Brewing
Traditionally I wait to give new breweries 6 months to figure out their recipes, taps, lines, service, etc before stopping in. Beer may only be made of 4 primary ingredients, but making the transition from home brewing or nano brewing to consistent commercial product takes time and skill. Occasionally, I stop in before that 6 … Continue reading Dubtown Brewing
I have written a couple of times about my partnership with Kombucha Town in Bellingham, Washington. I like their flavors, love their community feel, and appreciate their understanding of sustainability for choosing aluminum cans over glass. After discussing with Kombucha Town owner/operator Chris McCoy about the lack of credit opportunities for Kombucha compared to Beer, … Continue reading Is organic growth an option for Kombucha?

Arlen and I were going to see some graphic design friends for his restaurant Storia Cucina and we stumbled in to a sign for Herb's Cider. He is less keen on cider than I am, but we figured worth a stop, taste, and chat at the very least. We were greeted by the director of … Continue reading Herb’s Cider
Last summer, Arlen and I went to a fun beer event called Skagit Pint Fest. We tried some local beers, our weight in Taylor Shellfish oysters, and enjoyed the experience. On our way out, Arlen ran into a brewer friend named Matthew who told us about a new spot called Garden Path Fermentation. He told … Continue reading Garden Path Fermentation
I have been keeping my eye out for a brewery that is farm focused using local grain, hops, yeast, and malt. My hope from there would be its priced right and drinkable. I was chatting with a Skagit Valley Malts rep and he suggested I go to Mount Vernon to Farmstrong Brewing using 99% SVM … Continue reading Farmstrong Brewing

As I had never lived in Bellingham before, I found the breweries that drew my interest first were the breweries I was most familiar with. I had purchased the Kulshan Lager, Greenwood Summer Ale, Red Cap Red Ale, Raspberry Gose, and Kitten … Continue reading Kulshan Brewing
