In what is a surprise to no one, the Mariners failed to make the MLB playoffs this season. A 67-95 record has a way of doing that to a team. Just because the Ms are out though, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be excited for the playoffs. Here’s a few reasons why you should tune in.
5 Reasons to Get Excited About the Playoffs
Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale
Special to Seattlest by Paul Orch, craft beer advocate and writer.
Craft Brewers Alliance? Gulp!
Aw geez. Another noble Seattle name goes into the toilet. Redhook Brewery, the brand launched by Paul Shipman and Gordon Bowker more than 25 years ago, will become part of a corporate entity called Craft Brewers Alliance after it takes over Portland-based Widmer Brothers for a reported $50 million.
Holy Smokes! - Locally Available Smoked Beers

Give Dad Beer For Fathers Day
We were all happy to hear about the return of this weekend’s Washington Brewers Festival at Saint Edward State Park. If you are looking for a last minute Fathers Day present, is there anything better than taking your dad out to drink beer all day (While watching people throw kegs)?
