I won't be down that way til the end of the month, but any BAs in striking distance of the Tri-Cities might want to turn up at Barley Brown's on Feb.12th for an event devoted to new breweries in the area (one seems more a re-establishment, actually): https://facebook.com/events/s/meet-the-new-breweries-moonsho/815911058920757/?ti=cl
i was only ever in the TC when I was driving truck. Maybe I should look into details about a weekend over there.
Plus eat at a Triple D location. Paper street is on their third location (downtown Kennewick, parkway Richland, and now somewhere in the boonies west pasco). Anyway, they didn’t impress me. Maybe third times the charm? Been curious about moonshot. Never heard about sage, but looks promising. https://sagebrewing.beer/ http://moonshotbrewing.com/ http://www.paperstreetbrewing.com/ If you did come @beertunes just go directly to White Bluffs https://whitebluffsbrewing.com/ and next door neighbor bombing range is pretty good too http://bombingrangebrewing.com/
There was some talk in another thread about bacon (and other meats?) in beer. Well, how about bacon on a plate and beer in a glass? Seems like the place to put this. Perhaps, bacon will get @beertunes to make his way to the TC? I’ve never been (I don’t really go to these type of things), but always seems to sell out. http://www.visittri-cities.com/even...l-three-rivers-craft-brew-and-bacon-festival/ ***Copied from the Facebook page*** *6th Annual Three Rivers Craft Brew & Bacon Festival* Come join us for micro brew tasting and live entertainment!

I endorse this plan of action. I just wish Shrub Steppe was still open. Their beer was fairly mediocre but their bbq was on point, so you had a spot to dine at between the other two breweries.
Back when Elysian was still independent, New Belgium was always at WA beer festivals listed as a local brewery ("New Belgium WA") due to Dick Cantwell and Kim Jordan dating and probably some business agreement.
