    Google confirmed my memory that Orlison is closed.

    Anybody remember 3 Skulls? I remember that they existed, but I'm struggling to come up with the details. Weren't they a small brewery who expanded and the expansion didn't work? Or something like that?

    IIRC, their pub was about a block away from Naked City and across Greenwood, but the actual brewhouse was down the I-5 corridor aways and shared with another brewery (Viking themed?). Tried to go one time but was outside their operating hours.

    This sound right to anyone else? Could be conflating with a different brewery or altogether wrong. Lotta stuff floatin’ around in ol’ Duder’s head…

    I was thinking that 3 Skulls was their ale brewery and they tried opening a lager brewery in a separate location? Or I might be conflating them with a different brewery.

    There's still a RAM location in Lacey, WA. I went there with my brother's family a few years ago. We could well have been the only folks there aside from the staff that wasn't stationed at JBLM, or sleeping with someone who was.

    Orlison (previously Golden Hills) ceased to exist several years ago. Their last head brewer was my friend Rachel, who won gold at GABF for Orlison's Brown Ale right before their doors closed. After stints doing the brewing for TT's and Golden Handle, she now co-owns Community Pint with her partner.

    I occasionally see product from Backwoods around Spokanistan.

    Backwoods has a spot in the Pearl District in Portland, too.

    I liked Orlison beer. Used to get it in my local independent grocery

    The Ram in Salem shut down earlier this year
    Building was being undermined by the Mill Creek.
    Lovely sitting on the deck looking over the creek in the summer. But the repair cost was way too high. . allegedly

    Did they pour at the 2014 Fest but specify that their logo not be used on the shirt? That is so Henry...

    Paradise Creek is alive and well in Pullman, in the Old Post Office (cool old building that was a movie theater when I lived there) and a separate production facility with an attached taproom SW of "downtown."

    Yakima Craft Brewing rebranded as Hop Center of the World, or something along those lines; it didn't help keep the doors open.

    Ramblin' Road closed almost a decade ago. The story that floats around Spokane is that when the owners got pregnant, the wife insisted that the husband had had his fun, and now needed to go back to being a lawyer to provide for their family.
