Chuckanut Brewery Northern Washington Bus Tour
Chuckanut Brewery is sponsoring a bus tour of northern Washington breweries on August 8, and we are trying to get as many club members as possible to go. So far Brad and his wife are signed up and at least a few others have expressed interest. There are 38 spaces left on the bus as of this writing. Let's see if we can fill it up with West Sound Brewers. This will be a great opportunity to visit some breweries in our region that are a little bit out of the way for most of us.
Chuckanut is owned by Will and Mari Kemper of Thomas Kemper fame, so there is a Kitsap connection, a connection to some of the founding members of our club, and a bit of nostalgia for those who remember the awesome Kemper brewpub in Poulsbo.
The bus will depart from Brouwer's in Seattle and stop at Chuckanut & Boundary Bay in Bellingham, Anacortes Brewery, and Skagit River Brewery in Mount Vernon. The cost, $50, includes lunch at Chuckanut and sample tasters at each brewery. Chuckanut beers will also be available on the bus, which will have a bathroom (which is a great thing on a beer bus tour).
Here are all the details from the press release:
