Tucannon is a community just north of Dayton where a bevy of wind turbines has recently cropped up. I took an excursion to the area and watched with boyish glee as the three-fingered monsters spun gently in the breeze. One of my former bylines is that I used to promote wind energy and I absolutely love those things.

Columbia County also grows a phenomenal abundance of wheat including the Madsen winter wheat that combines with local thistle honey to create this beer. This is an opaque, gray-apricot beer with gruff, grainy contours. The wheat contributes no head or lace. There is a vague funky aroma that seems out of place and carries over to the taste slightly, though not enough to bring it down. A refreshing beer but a bit cloying at the perimeter.
