    I have an appointment in Blaine next Tuesday morning. Thinking about hanging out in Bellevue and maybe grabbing a beer around lunch time before heading back down.

    Any great recommendations? Probably @BBThunderbolt is the expert, I guess.

    Not Bellevue, Bellingham. *facepalm*
    Of course I notice 2 minutes after the edit window closes.

    Well, I don't know much about Bellevue, but I've got a hint about things in Bellingham. :wink:

    It would come down to what you want for lunch. Boundary Bay, Otherlands, Aslan, and Twin Sisters (not my fave) all have kitchens. Stemma and the Kulshans open at 11 and has food food trucks. Stones Throw would be open, might have a food truck, but allows outside food from all the neighboring restaurants. Gruff, Wander, and Structures open at 3 and have food trucks. Menace opens at noon and has a food truck (and there's a Zeeks Pizza just down the street). Restaurants will have good taplists.

    Decide what ya want to eat. Hell, I'd even be willing to grab a pint with ya!

    There was an IG post from January 4th showing the tanks in place but either they're not brewing yet or the beer just isn't ready yet. I'm guessing the plan is to be ready for opening day.

    I'm hoping so, because one of the local breweries does a bus trip for OD, and I'm going!

    I'll be at Opening Day. I put down the money for a Flex Season Ticket Membership to get All Star Game tickets so I've got a bunch of cash to use on games.

    Since our seats will be up in the 300s, I don't generally go up there, and just walk a lap of the main concourse, and watch an inning from here and there as I go. I'll hit ya up before and maybe we can finally meet up for beer!

    We’ve got seats up in 300 for opening day, too. Same area I sat for the playoff game and it was really nice.

    Washington (Seattle/Tacoma metro) got the second Russian River shipment today. Looks like it's gonna be once a month pretty consistently.

    Apparently, Aslan Depot has Russian River Happy Hops on tap at the moment. $8/ pint.
