    New issue of Beeradvocate Magazine arrived today. Nice three page writeup of Boneyard with articles on Ecliptic and De Garde as well. Washington represented too with Bale Breaker.
    Cool.
    Or not.

    De Garde... Boneyard...Ecliptic....? Yeah those breweries don't exist. I heard it was a marketing scheme by Visit Oregon to increase tourism. Really sucks that it rains so much here, and theres Sharknados, and guys mugging you everywhere - really awful conditions for tourists.

    Bale Breaker doesn't exist, either.

    Seriously, you send Field 41 over to the UK, but not Seattle? :confused:

    Considering many Seattle-ites act like Black Raven is in Montana, is it really so hard to believe that Yakima is practically in the UK?

    and yeah, im lazy. i could look at their website and find out that they do can (not bottle) and use the "find our beers" to see that they are mostly in Yakima, Cle Elum, Leavenworth and other places I never go to but I didnt feel like it...

    I wasn't making a joke. They actually have Field 41 on tap over in the United Kingdom. Sounds like the head brewer went over and did a cask version with some big pub chain over there.

    I've got some six packs of Field 41 (my personal best new beer of 2013) and Top Cutter that a buddy snagged for me at the IGA in Cashmere the other weekend ($8.50 sixers!!!!!). It's mah Supah Bowl Beer.

    This is definatleyone advantage of living in Spokane. Field 41 has been in my fridge since it was released. By far my favorite beer in the last few years. Have you had the Imperial IPA?

    Bale Breaker does not bottle.. they "can." No distributors in Seattle yet that I am aware of. Plenty of case displays of Bale Breaker on the floor in stores in Yakima, Tri-cities, Ellensburg :slight_smile:

    Yeah, I had a growler of the Piled High Imperial Fresh Hop. It was incredible.

    If anyone from an area with access to Bale Breaker makes a trip to Seattle, send me a PM and we could work something out! I'm pretty mad to have missed the few kegs I have heard of in Seattle and still not tried their IPAs.
