Thanks for posting terry. Reading about hart brewing... Man does that take me back. Still remember years ago visiting the tasting room in kalama, arguing with my gf whether we should get a jar of the apricot wheat or the espresso stout. It was a difficult choice, as we thought both beers were amazing. Lot of water over the damn since those days..
Saw this on fb a couple days ago. Pyramid hasn't gotten much love here for a while, but they were one of the microbrew pioneers in Washington, and helped set the tone for this being a beer state. Gotta lift a glass to this guy.
