Greg Koch Stone Brewing Company is going through some incredible growth in both distribution and breweries. They've opened up their first European Brewery and are opening on the East Coast of the US. It's going to be a big [...]
My two favorite beverages on earth are beer and coffee, and I even like them when they’re combined. Fortunately, many Bellingham breweries have produced coffee beers, including Aslan Brewing’s Java Lava Red Ale, which was made in collaboration with Bellingham Coffee Roasters; Chuckanut Brewing’s Bean Stop Porter, made in collaboration with The Bean [...]
Greetings brethren's of beer. As this year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment and look back at the beers reviewed this year on the Tap Trail, and see how they all stacked up. There was no shortage of good beer here, and I didn't even get to post full [...]
Some “beer purists” might eschew the use of spices in beer brewing, but spices have been used much longer than hops. By many accounts, beer was first made more than 9,000 years ago, but using hops in beer has only been traced back about 1,000 years. Before hopped beer, gruit beer (also grut [...]
I wanted to step outside of the box a little bit here and review a non packaged beer, get a little bit more local with the review process. Structures has just opened and I was as excited as anyone to try their beers. I have bumped into James and Ryan at the [...]

By most measures, Hawaii isn’t a leading craft beer state, and empirical evidence from my half dozen visits to all the main islands supports this. Overwhelmingly, cocktails and light lagers seem to be preferred by locals and tourists. Beer lovers have to deal with a limited selection, high prices and questionable [...]
As the weather continues to cool and nights become longer and darker, I am often leaning towards darker and darker beers to match the season. I have however still had an unrelenting thirst for hops, which is fine, because there are still delicious, fresh, new(ish), IPA's being released left and right. [...]
After reading Ariana’s post about the PicoBrew Pico homebrew system, I became intrigued by the machine, and I even considered purchasing one. When PicoBrew released the Zymatic in 2013, I found it interesting, but I didn’t even consider buying one because it was too expensive (roughly $2,000). PicoBrew’s recently released Pico, [...]
A few weeks ago Tap Trail received a special invite from Mari Kemper of Chuckanut Brewing to attend the groundbreaking of Chuckanut's brand new Skagit facility that was scheduled for today. We were excited to attend, but, due to the incoming stormy weather, the event was cancelled. This morning she sent out [...]
