Brewing history touches every corner of Washington. When it was a territory; homesteader operations like Colville Brewery helped establish towns. In 1865; Joseph Meeker planted the state�s first hops in Steilacoom. Within a few years; that modest crop became a five-hundred-acre empire; and Washington led the nation in hops production by the turn of the century. Enterprising pioneers like Emil Sick and City Brewery�s Catherine Stahl galvanized early Pacific Northwest brewing. In 1982; Bert Grant�s Yakima Brewing and Malting Company opened the first brewpub in the country since Prohibition. Soon; Seattle�s Independent Ale Brewing Company led a statewide craft tap takeover; and today; nearly three hundred breweries and brewpubs call the Evergreen State home. Author Michael F. Rizzo unveils the epic story of brewing in Washington.
