    Laht Neppur Brewing in Waitsburg, WA has begun bottling their beers. Taken from Facebook:

    No clue if we'll find these in Western Washington, but I had a great time at their brewery back in November.

    I had a nice time during my one visit to the brewpub as well, and I thought their beers pretty decent. I still haven't had a chance to visit the new tasting room in Walla Walla yet, but hope to this coming June.

    That being said... while I might look to grab a bottle if I were in Walla Walla or the tri-cities area, their beers aren't so unique and/or wonderful that I'd recommend them to anyone in the SeaTac area. It does make me wonder, however, how much beer they plan to bottle and how far they plan to distribute. I could bottle sales doing fairly well locally, but it's hard for me to imagine that they'd get much traction in Western Washington.

    Based on the line of (mostly) women waiting for glasses of the Strawberry Cream Ale at the NAOBF, I have a feeling they will do pretty well with that one. Other than Timmermans and Sam Smiths I can't think of any other strawberry beers on the market.

    I don't know how widespread distribution is, but it's pretty easy to find/obtain out here (both in bottles and on tap).

    Fruli was available here for a while, but Maletis dropped it shortly after last year's Fruit Beer fest, which is shitty because it was super popular at the fest and bottle sales jumped massively immediately after.

    I think I've tried a couple of their beers at fests, I hope some bottles make it over, I'd like to give 'em a shot.

    They had a Wild Hop Ale when I was there last. They took some hops that were found growing randomly around Waitsburg and made a fresh hip out of them. It was pretty interesting.
