Before we did our brewery walking tour in Ballard, Bad Jimmy's was actually the first brewery we visited during our recent trip to Seattle. It's not quite in the cluster of breweries in Ballard but it's close to that area.
Mr. and I had a few days off in April, so we decided to head down to Seattle for a quick getaway. Instead of hanging out in the downtown area, we chose to stay in the Ballard district, which is known for its ever growing share of breweries. Where we stayed was within walking distance to a cluster of craft breweries, so we did a self-guided brewery tour.
A couple of weeks ago, Twin Sails Brewing in Port Moody celebrated its 2nd anniversary. To celebrate, they released a total of 8 beers on Friday, November 10, at their anniversary party. A 40-minute line-up later, I got to try all 7 of the 8 new releases that were available at the anniversary party.
On October 21, 2017, winners of this year's BC Beer Awards were named. The ceremony was held in conjunction of a tasting event at the Croatian Cultural Centre. Over 65 breweries set up a booth and showcased their beers while celebrating with their peers as winners of 30 award categories were being announced.
While we were staying in Courtenay, we learned that there were two breweries in town plus another one in Cumberland. It was a very hot summer day and we needed some refreshing beer to cool us down, so we paid Gladstone Brewing a visit!
