Brewers and Copperworks Distillery owners Jason Parker and Micah Nutt are no strangers to whiskey or brew, but it was … Continue reading Two Bearded Beer Lovers Take on Whiskey at Copperworks Distillery
Glimpses knew not of this “Hop Shop” that this pint glass advertises, but we enjoyed its back drop of blurry, colorful lights so much we just may have to investigate further. Thanks to GregPierceImages for dropping this into our Flickr pool. And speaking of our Flickr pool, we are mere tens of photos away from reaching a count of 7,000 over there, so please add with abandon! Continue reading Glimpses: Chuck’s Hop Shop Pint Glass
This time out, I had the idea that I’d revisit the Portland Art Museum (open every day except Monday, $15 adults), whose collection feels more intimately Northwestern than the great and powerful Seattle Art Museum. Their big visiting exhibition, through January 6, 2013, is The Body Beautiful in Ancient Greece, from the British National Museum, but if you’ve seen Elles at SAM, there’s some Cindy Sherman for you, too.

It’s true what they say about finding great things when you’re not looking for them. At least when it comes to the next Glimpses photo. As we scanned the Flickr pool for some sort of lovely spring flower, we came across this image. Yes, still flowers, but this unexpected composition is really so much more. Thanks for sharing, Paul Swortz. Continue reading Glimpses: “Vented Wide Mouth and Flowers”
That’s why I ended up drinking Hilliard’s Hils Pils, which greets the palate with a fruitier blast than Maritime’s more easy-going lager. That went down well, so it was followed by the malty Regimental Scottish Blonde.
Then came that growler of Cast Iron Stout, pictured, hurried home to get a real cap on it. Continue reading The Hopvine Introduces Capitol Hill to Ballard’s Hilliard’s Beer
