Some of the finest reasons to hike in the fall.

Washington’s diversity of flora in the mountains makes for a spectacular fall color display. From the deep reds of vine maple on the western slopes to the golden yellow of alpine larches on the eastern slope. But that’s not all that makes the hillsides light up in autumn.

Is it Beer? Is it Vodka? It’s Breakaway!!!

Alright, so try and track with us here. American Brewing Company makes this rockin’ India Pale Ale called Breakaway. Next, their neighbors across the street at Scratch Distillery decide they want to distill American Brewing Company’s IPA into a spirit. Finally, Scratch takes this bright spirit with shy hoppiness hiding behind a maze of the beer mash’s grain bill until it absorbs the character of the Woodinville Whiskey barrels.
