Out West where? Portland? Seattle? Centralia?

Fremont Brewing in North Seattle. Cascade barrel house in Portland. etc. etc.

 

If you're visiting Portland, go here: http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/visiting-portland.61551/

If not, then I'm sure there's a thread similar to that one, except about the city you're planning to visit.

 

Any idea of the route you'll be taking? I'm sure there are a number of us who can help point out some more off-the-radar stuff that's not in the big cities, if you're looking for that kind of stuff.

 

Where are you planning on going? Starting and ending where? There are tons of great places in WA, OR, and NorCal.

 

Seattle
Breweries: Fremont Brewing, Reuben's Brews, Black Raven
Beer bars: Brouwer's, Pine Box, Beveridge Place Pub, Über Tavern.
Bottle shops: Beer Junction, Bottleworks, 99 Bottles
Here's a map.
