10 years gone by...

The other I wore my T-shirt from the 2014 Washington Brewers Festival. On the back was a list of participating breweries. I noticed that some are still around, some have gone to that great barley field in the sky, and others, I'm not sure about. So, here's three categories: Here, Gone, I dunno. Please add your thoughts, corrections, and breweries who maybe didn't make the shirt from a decade ago.

HERE:
7 Seas, Anacortes, Bainbridge Island, Bale Breaker, Bellevue, Big Time, Black Raven, Boundary Bay, Chuckanut, Diamond Knot, Dick's, E9, Elliot Bay, Elysian, Foggy Noggin, Fremont, Georgetown, Ice Harbor, Iron Goat, Iron Horse, Kulshan, Lazy Boy, Mac & Jack's, Machine House, Maritime Pacific, McM's (Mill Creek), No-Li, North Sound, Old Schoolhouse, Peddler, Pike, Reuben's, Roslyn, Scuttlebutt, Seapine, Silver City, Skookum, Stoup.

GONE:
Airways, Alpine, American, Big Al, Fish, Hale's, Hilliard's, Issaquah Brewhouse (Rogue), Justice, Naked City, New Belgium(? Maybe as part of Elysian?), Northwest, Odin, Pyramid, Red Hook (Woodinville), Schooner Exact, Two Beers, Valholl.

I DUNNO:
Amnesia, Backwoods, Brickyard, Der Blokken, Duvall Springs, Gallaghers Where U Brew, Geaux, Gordon Biersch, Harmon, Heathen, Hi-Fi, Hood Canal, Island Hoppin', Laht Neppur, Lantern, NW Peaks, Orlison, Paradise Creek, Rainy Daze, Ram (Seattle), Ramblin' Road, Riverport, Salish Sea, Snipes Mountain, Snoqualmie Falls, Sound, Strong Arm, Triplehorn, Twelve Bar, Wingman, Yakima Craft.


I think a lot of the I Dunno's are gone, but if I wasn't sure, I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

 

There's a Ram at the Outlet Mall in Tulalip/Arlington too. The one on the shirt just said Seattle, so, shrug? I think there's still a Ram down near Olympia as well.

BTW, the Ram in Tulalip still makes ZZ Hop, which was a great beer. It was on tap in the Brewers lounge area of one of the WA Brewers Fest (maybe this one?), and there weren't many sober folks heading back to their booths after 'taking a break'.

 

Yeah, I remember Kevin Davey brewing there after he came back from FW, but before he opened Wayfinder.

 

Former NW Forum denizen @tozerm worked for them for a while. I just haven't seen or heard of them in a while. I could go for a couple Wildcat IPAs.

 

I was pretty sure Valholl went down well before Covid. Is it still the same ownership?

 

i knew Don casually back in the day. He gave me a ride over to Hood Canal Brewing during American Brewing's opening Day party, and had time to kill before the train home. Good dude.
