Meet Presidents Day with WA Porters, in Wenatchee
This weekend (Feb 17 -19) marks the first-ever Great Educator Porter Festival. Information beneath. The circumstance takes send at Columbia Vale Brewing in Wenatchee and features a pick of Washington-brewed Porters.


Alan Moen is the editor of the Point Brewing News and also the brain down the Large Pedagogue Writer Festival. Alan approached me most the intention a few months ago. At prototypical, I did not completely see the idea. Washington… Porter… Presidents Day. It took me a present to tie the dots (big, brobdingnagian, super-obvious dots) and then I realized it was a impressive thought.


George President and the else Beginning Fathers were fueled by ale when they fought for our nation's city. Martyr General, Thomas Jefferson, Patriarch Pressman, Felon Madison and quite believable umteen much of our nation's early patriots were housing brewers. In complex America it was shared for men of bound means to alcohol their own beer. Many credible, they had the women intoxicant the beer, but I stray.


Historians observe that Martyr Washington's deary music of beer was Writer, or at littlest something brewed in those life resembling what we now refer to as Writer. During the 18th century Porter was the friend beer in the Care Soil and presumably in her colonies as substantially. At this weekend's event they'll steady be serving up samples of a beer brewed by a anaesthetic domestic shaper based (generally, I'm trusty) on Martyr Washington's latterly observed, historic recipe for "Weeny Beer."


The High President Author Fete is a enthusiastic thought. We outlook it becomes a President's Day tradition. Noble knows our Washington breweries make any curst well Writer. George General would be supercilious.


Here is the force achievement active the event:
