    Or not. Like I said, I like hearing about new breweries, so if the thread goes on something of a Wild Ride, that's OK.

    Agreed, but how else would you explain the Breakside/Boneyard/Block 15/Barley Brown's mentions?

    Yes, a Dirt Track from Whitewall Brewing is Worthy of your time.

    I haven't seen them mentioned yet, so I'll give a shout out to Baerlic. I haven't had anything completely mind blowing from them yet, but almost everything has been good or better. Their Invincible IPA and USA (Ultra Summer Ale) are worth the price of admission, and their Old Blood and Guts Barleywine is delicious if you can find it.

    If nothing else, it's only 2 blocks north of Beer Mongers and Apex, so it makes a nice little combo of places to hit without much walking.

    After reading a different thread, would it be fair to say Brewers Union 180 is under the radar? People who know about it seem to love it, but it doesn't seem there's a lot of people who know about it since Ted isn't very trusting with his casks and is a little out of the way for average travelers.

    180 may be below the sonar.

    The only under the radar breweries I can think of are not worth mentioning unfortunately. Hopefully that will change some day.

    Engine House No. 9 is super awesome but gets no love.

    They're under the radar.

    White Bluffs in Richland makes pretty quality brews, but most haven't heard of them outside of the Tri-Cities.

    Iron Goat is under the radar outside of the Spokane area, but that may be changing.

    Snipes Mt. - had a pilsner from them last fall that was fantastic, and a couple other beers that I really liked

    Baerlic - solid every time

    Silver Moon - not THAT under the radar, but man they make some killer beer

    Deschutes - Every once in a while I see a keg on tap and I think they are pretty solid for such a small operation
