My last review of beers while I'm actually on the West Coast will feature two breweries I haven't had before. One from California and one from Washington.
I'll go from north to south...which means Black Raven's Trickster is up first.
Black Raven is located in Redmond, Washington, a pretty decent sized suburb of Seattle. They were founded back in April of 2009 and have been fusing Pacific Northwest flavors with old-world styles to create a unique variety of brews. For now, you can only find these guys in Washington state. And, while I was there this summer (albeit only for a night), I stumbled upon one of their mainstays.
