Well 2016 has shaped up to be quite a roller coaster ride. Election anxiety, global strife, celebrity deaths, and a plethora of other pandemonium have driven us to consider writing off the year all together. In any case, we are so grateful to be able to indulge in a little escapism with the booming craft beverage industry in Washington state.
Aptly described by Richard “I’m Better Than You At Life” Sherman, the “poopfest” that is Thursday Night NFL games kicked off with the Los Angeles Rams visiting Seattle to take on the Seahawks.
The Rams, who just recently fired former head coach Jeff Fisher, have been on a tailspin as of late and came into Thursday on a four-game losing streak and fresh off of a 42-14 beatdown at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons.
Washington winemaker Charles Smith is bringing holiday cheer (and music) to Georgetown with his first annual holiday bash at Charles Smith Wines Jet City. The festival is this Friday, December 16th and will feature three great bands on Mike McCready’s HockeyTalkter label: Danny Newcomb & The Sugarmakers, Stereo Embers, and Star Anna.
Chelan sits at the base of the North Cascades, overlooking some of the most jaw dropping landscapes in the PNW; and those views are often served up with a tasty glass of the best wine in the region. When it comes to choosing your wedding destination, what more could you ask for? Beautiful views – check. Delicious wine -check. Somewhere far enough away your husband’s frat douche friends won’t attend -no guarantees. Sunny skies and expansive grape vines create the perfect backdrop for a stunning outdoor wedding, so if you’re thinking about reciting your nuptials in the valley, check out this list of kickass vendors from our picture perfect Chelan wedding!
Night Shift has teamed up with Nike Football to curate a special party tomorrow night (Wednesday) in Pioneer Square. Think of it as a dance party to prefunk Thursday night’s Seahawks game.
Last Saturday, Seattleite had the opportunity to attend the sold-out Porter Robinson and Madeon Shelter Live Tour at WaMu Theater in Seattle. The pop-centric show did not disappoint and included both innovative electronic dance music and incredible indoor pyrotechnics.
Earl Thomas was absent and the Seattle Seahawks were away at Lambeau Field, but that doesn’t excuse any of their play on Sunday, which was one of their worst performances of the season (offensively and defensively).
Russell Wilson threw five (five!) interceptions, the defense just kinda went through the motions, and the wideouts dropped some easy catches that really hurt the Seahawks.
Here is a list of some of our favorite gifts this season by local makers and shops. Hopefully you can find something for everyone at one of these shops. We’ll add more as we come across items, so make sure to check back. Happy holidays!

Winter beer season has officially begun and beer fans around the world rejoice. Seattle-born Elysian Brewery recently dropped their winter seasonal Bifrost, a delicious winter pale ale a little different from the holiday ales you are used to. While many winter brews are quite dark with spicy notes, Bifrost is lighter bodied and has some citrus notes along with spice and caramel apples. It is an incredibly drinkable winter ale, especially for its 8.3% ABV.
