Northwest Travel & Life: Beer for the People
20 03 2017I loved writing this story. Some of the best times I’ve had on the road were at these very establishments. From the article:
“Good people drink good beer.” The ancient Celtic axiom popularized by Hunter S. Thompson may or may not ring true in every instance. But that’s not the point. The Northwest is filled with justifiably proud people. We are proud of the things we do, the things we make and the places we call home. Smaller communities, in particular, rally around a source of local pride. One of the things we do better than most is beer.
There are brewpubs and alehouses that are the heart of some Northwest towns. They are hubs where families and friends meet. They are places that out of towners take special trips to experience. They are institutions, where good people go to drink good beer. Here are just a few of our small-town favorites.

Tillamook Coast: Spring Chinook Fishing in the Tillamook Bay
14 03 2017Spring is around the corner, and so is some prime fishing out on the coast. From the article:
“Salmon is one of the most popular fish worldwide. But in the Northwest, Salmon is king.
In fact, you’ll often hear Chinook referred to as king salmon. This is a fitting title for a trophy cherished most by fishermen, chefs, and consumers alike. And while the spring runs might be smaller than those of the more famous fall season, the Tillamook Bay is home to some excellent spring Chinook fishing in May and June.”
