Belt’s Beer Garden: Dog days of winter

Once again I have the Pacific in mind as I have a two beers from out west for you. I’ll start with (yet another) brewery from Washington before showing off a beer from Arizona.

This marks the first time an Arizona brewery has been featured on BBG...meaning 37 of the 50 states have now been represented here, if you were keeping track.

First up, a Washington brewery that’s had a few name changes:

Northwest Brewing Company started off as Laughing Buddha…then Trade Route Brewing…then, in 2012, finally became NWBC.

Located in Pacific, Washington (a city just east of Tacoma and 30 miles south of Seattle) they offer ten year round beers and can be found in nine states: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Montana, the Dakotas, and Minnesota.
