Foggy
Noggin Brewing in Bothell is one of the most beloved breweries in the region,
with its rotating selection of seasonal craft brews and their upbeat, funky
personality. And in just a week, Foggy Noggin will have a special tasting
event, featuring four vintages of their Anniversary Ale. Space is limited, so
register now if you’d like a taste!
The Foggy
Noggin folks will be having two sessions with 20 people each, between 6:00 pm
and 7:30 pm on Thursday, March 20; and Friday, March 21. The ticket price is
$30 per person, but you get a whole lot in return: Not only will you be able to
taste the 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 editions of their Anniversary Ale, but
you’ll also take home your own bottle of the 2014 Anniversary Ale (English old
Ale) before it’s even officially released.
Indeed,
Foggy Noggin is also known for its community roots, founded by long-time Bothell resident Jim Jamison:
What
started out as a gift from Jim's wife (Kim) in 1992, he became hooked on taking
brewing beer to the highest level.
Jim's love
for beer began at Produce
Row Cafe in Portland,
OR during the summer of 1979. This was the place for beer. Every beer available
for import into the State of Oregon was here. Jim tried each and every one
of them and became obsessed. The early 80's started the microbrewery
revolution and Jim enjoyed expanding his beer-horizons.
With the
craft beer movement in full force, Jim recognized a void in education for the
beer enthusiast. Northwest Brew News (NWBN) was born, the region's largest
subscription based beer publication took off in 1994 and grew to over 15,000
subscribers by 1997. It became too large and required too much time as a hobby.
