    I hope I get the chance to try that one. BA imperial stout is one of my favorite styles.

    In the "drink while voting" spirit, she's enjoying a Bits and Bobs IPA from her #1 choice, Reuben's.

    That's why we didn't vote for five WA breweries since we hadn't sampled all five. When we moved to WA from the midwest in '18, we setled in Vancouver because my wife's sister lived closeby. Portland / Oregon beers dominated the stores. Sure, we found Fremont and Georgetown and we went to Bale Breaker when visiting Yakima. But by sheer proximity to Portland and stores like Belmont Station, we found ourselves gravitating to the OR breweries. We've promised ourselves to be more diligent in searching out for Chuckanut and the others we've not tried (yet!).

    We've now moved to the little town of Castle Rock and will start to explore to the north.

    Maybe a poll on "Which Oregon breweries you wish were in WA."

    Thanks to Beer Tunes for this!

    Tough to pick the fifth but I went with Georgetown solely because Bodhi is my favorite everyday beer.

    Up to you if you want to count it but my better half's rankings are

    Reuben's
    Fremont
    Skookum
    Cloudburst
    Holy Mountain

    She was annoyed she couldn't vote for Structures and wanted me to mention that if Garden Path were in Seattle she thinks they'd have gotten a lot more love.

    She shoulda voted in the nomination thread :wink: . One more vote would have gotten them in.

    And, yeah, I was surprised by the lack of votes for GP too.
