    Well, we've sort of adopted it. It's mere miles over the Washington-Idaho border, and the Idaho panhandle has more in common with the NW than it does with southern Idaho. If you're going to be a stickler (and I noticed that you didn't admonish the poster above me who combined Cali and Ore, when they are separate BA regions) sub in Ale Apothecary.

    You're right, I missed that one above yours, and you're also right, the panhandle really is "Northwest." Just thought I should say something to keep the thread on track (I know, right?) as I laid out clear parameters in the OP.

    I'd have included Ale Apothecary in my list (in place of Boneyard probably) but I've had only one of their beers and at $30 it wasn't exactly your typical "shelf beer."
