Every Pacific Northwest beer lover has a secret fantasy: to quit their job and open up shop as a brewer. To be surrounded daily by the aromatic scene of hops, barley and malt. To stir and sample, figure and ferment. To get to wear t-shirt from tastings to work every day. Don't quit your day job--head to Edmonds, where you can brew your own beer, without breaking the bank.
Seattlest Suggests: Brew Your Own Beer
Give Up Your Car, Get An Awesome Bike
August 8, New Belgium Brewing's Tour de Fat rolls through Seattle with a stop at Gasworks Park. The tour celebrates "all things bicycle," and one of its annual traditions is that someone will actually sign over their car at the event as a sign of his or her commitment to commute by bicycle. In exchange, this year the car-less bicyclist will receive a custom-made bike from Black Sheep Bikes. So here's your chance--the tour still needs a Seattle participant! To enter, visit their Facebook page and submit an essay or video explaining your desire to be car free. Time's running out, so jump on it ASAP.
