    Bellingham
    Toss-up between Bellingham and Greater-Ballard area, but Seattle is more of a shithole so advantage to Bellingham.

    Hale’s is the OG.

    People forget Hale’s came from the 509 (War Colville Indians). People forget that.

    I drank a lot of beer at their pub bar in 2000

    There are a bunch of brewpubs in Kitsap that I have frequented, went to Port Townsend Brewery yesterday, and that's always been good.

    Ballard / Fremont is what I know, and that is my vote, although the shithole factor keeps me out of there. I miss the Mahi sliders at Maritime...

    I once brought a keg of their Pickop Andropov Russian Imperial Stout to a camping trip at Staircase. At the Tim, that beer was like the Smell the Glove album cover in that how much blacker could it be? None more black. My favorite at the time.

    That poor, poor campground shitter...

    I may be mistaken, but I heard that the first bar to serve Hale’s was the bar I hung out at in college. I know that it was the first micro I ever drank…

    I’ll go with Bham just because the drive is short but hard to beat Ballard if I was down there. Snohomish had a cool scene that flew under the radar but I think Covid hit it hard. Haven’t check back to see if they recovered or not

    The fact that Woodinville has as many votes as Bellingham speaks volumes about this board.

    being a guy that roams the land (except for winter layovers) it is always the nearest bar - in this case the Bandera Brewery

    Bellingham has: Wander, Kulshan, Aslan, Boundary Bay, Stemma, Stone's Throw... and others. Chuckanut used to be there then they relocated operations to Mt. Vernon and opened up a spot in PDX (???) for some reason.

    I'd put Bellingham up against anywhere in the state.

    Add Structures to that list as one of the named for those who don't know, too.

    You been in the gorge much lately? Plenty of crazies. Plenty of places to get a good beer and an unfiltered look at the steady stream of dropouts who migrate between Portland and The Dalles.

    Top brewery in the Ham rather easy (ILTCITH). Pisses me off when they go months without a stout, though, as they do it better than anyone around here.
