    For all the tidbits that don't fit into the Seattle thread.

    Rumors are Fair Isle will open this month. Pre-opening parties for various groups scheduled for next week.

    I heard rumors from this same source (the brewery itself) say August, so take it with a grain of salt :grin:

    I saw that Lost Canoe out in Snohomish closed late last year. Discovered it when I saw a brewery for sale ad on Craigslist.

    Faintly. don't think I ever had a real convo with him, but we'd say hi to each other.

    Fair Isle opens tomorrow at 3pm. If you can't drink everything, I recommend Winona and Bobbi.

    Good Society is aiming for early Feb, provided there are no equipment, health or safety check setbacks.

    Holy Mountain and Skookum are both having events today. Which one to attend? I think Skookum. They're less likely to be a shit-show and their beers are pretty good also.

    I was at Holy Mountain yesterday picking up their new Czech Pilsner cans and I was surprised by how many busted RVs and makeshift tents there were in that back area. Parking is always rough around there for their events so it’s going to be even worse now.

    HM stealth released a 5th anniversary stout bottle. Was pretty chill at opening.

    Glad to hear it. I chose Skookum and was extremely chill. Short line when I got there and no line to short line as time went by as I was there.

    That area is usually called Interbay. The valley between Magnolia and Queen Anne Hill. It's just south of the Magnolia Bridge, next to the rail tracks that head north out of downtown.

    Thanks. Haven't been to Seattle since my brother moved down to Oly about 7yrs ago, so I'm not much up on beer locations that have opened up since then.

    Huh, we were at their Marysville spot towards the end of Fresh-hop season last year, and they said they were looking to add more tanks there. Didn't mention a thing about Lake Stevens.

    Just looked at 5Rights FB page, and there's video of them brewing in Lake Stevens. But I didn't see where. Kendalls piece said the brewery hadn't been used. There's no mention of a Lake Stevens location on 5R's webpage. Curiouser and curiouser.
