This Fresh Hopped Pilsner from Stoup has a beautiful finish, and green, hoppy start. Sound like Jacquie is going to be confused. Let's hear her lyrical eloquence while she describes this fantastic beer!

If you know the premise of this, you already know that Jacquie doesn't like beer. Lets see how she does with a non-alcoholic beer from Olympia's 3 Magnets Brewing. This hazy is actually fresh hopped and delicious- but lets hear when Jacquie thinks...

Jacquie thinks she now has hop skills. Brian gives her a pop quiz - or hop quiz- to see if she can pick our Citra hops from 4 samples.

Another quick taste of a single beer- this one from North Carolina!

We were onsite for a special event at Auburn's Geaux Brewing. So we used the excuse to drink some of their delicious beers. We were joined by Jen and Lauren from YELP! - they helped make the chitchat fun- Geaux provided the kick-ass beer!

Another quick "mew" for you. We grabbed a crowler of the Fresh Hop submission to the Yakima Fresh Hop Festival this year- which made the final table. Billowing Waves DIPA is fresh hopped with the perfect amount of Mosaic (which is a lot) and smooth as butter in my mouth. Emily barely wanted to share!

Isn't Montana landlocked? Why would some name a brewery after Neptune in Montana? Well, Sarah scored some beer from Neptune's Brewery in Montana on a recent trip, and brought it back to Bellingham for us to sip together. She talks about the name, and we enjoy the brew- and we talk a little nonsense.

This bite sized episode features a quick taste of one special beer. Bellingham's Sarah stepped in with a Montana beer from Bitter Root Brewing. This one is a Huckleberry Honey Ale- supposedly Huckleberry flavored everything is a thing in Montana. Well, we gave this one a sip and rated it accordingly!

We'll be back with more full length episodes this week!

We finally made it to Great Notion in NW Portland to sample some of their bold brews! Jacquie was late- like really late- but we managed to taste a nice variety of yumminess! Now, how do we get Jacquie to understand that other people have things to do too?

We had a handful of beers in the truck from Sunnyside's Varietal Beer Co., so we recruited "Not-Jacquie" Sarah in Bellingham (but FROM Montana) to sample with us. Jacquie was hundreds of miles away thanking the heavens that she didn't have to drink beers again. These beers were cold and the night seemed right- so we moved on without her! Tune it to see what we liked best!
