Washington Beer Blog

Kendall and Kim Jones – the creators of the blog. In October 2008, I started the Washington Beer Blog to offer a reliable source of news and insights into the growing craft beer culture in Washington state. I picked the term "blog" since it was popular back then, but today it doesn't fully capture what this news and information platform provides.

Grit and Grain, Tornados and Beer, Rock and Roll, and More

1 week ago | washingtonbeerblog.com | Kendall Jones

Let me introduce the Grit and Grain Podcast. Unlike many podcasts about beer, this one isn’t really about beer. It’s beer-adjacent, or beer-tangential.
