The northwest is rife with quality beer and breweries! My personal favorite is the one that is in my glass!

HOTD, definitely, followed by (in no particular order) Elysian, Maritime Pacific, Chuckanut, Deschutes, Hopworks, and I’ll give ‘props’ to Heater Allen for making some darn tasty lagers, and Maui Brewing, but only because of their coconut porter.
Does Pyramid even count as a NW brewery now that they’re owned by Magic Hat?… :p I don’t see them, Redhook or Widmer as “craft” anymore, although Redhook has been innovating lately so I’ll give them some room.

What about Hales brewing in washington??
June 9, 2009 @ 4:44 pm
HOTD, Midnight Sun and Cascade

I nominate Bend Brewing Company. Thanks.

Remember… It’s “Craft” brewery… not “Micro” brewery… kind of hard to call a few of those listed in the comments “Craft”.. like calling Hopworks and Laurelwood Craft.. even though Laurelwood is the 4th largest brewpub in the world based on barrels brewed.. still not a craft though!
June 9, 2009 @ 1:12 am
Caldera Brewing Co. — Ashland Oregon…. Ya don’t have to be huge to be good… They brew excellent full flavored clean and balanced beers… 1st Micro to can their beer in the NW… Take it with you!

Full Sail all the way. Great beer, employee-owned, sustainable.
June 8, 2009 @ 6:23 pm
Roots is the best brewery in the northwest, then Deschutes, Full Sail, Bridgeport, and Laurelwood. Widmer? Come on!
June 8, 2009 @ 3:38 pm
Not sure these brewpub-only places fit the critera, but I’ll submit McMenamin’s and Mt. Hood.

June 8, 2009 @ 2:14 pm
Deschutes! Kona!
June 8, 2009 @ 1:22 pm
I really like Deschutes too! lol… but Widmer..
June 8, 2009 @ 12:56 pm
Widmer gets my vote hands down. Although you spelled it wrong up above.. i was shocked at first that you didn’t mention them.
Although I really love Full Sail and Ninkasi too… sigh and Beer Valley… Widmer still gets my vote.
June 8, 2009 @ 12:39 pm
Boundry Bay gets my vote
