Another thumbs up for Boundary Bay Brewery in Bellingham... their IPA is heavenly. It glows in the glass!

For those that like porters, you have to check out Lazy Boy Porter (brewed in Everett). I'm a big fan of Black Butte Porter but Lazy Boy blows it away.

I'm not a fan of Alaskan Amber. That stuff is WAY too sweet. If you like it, give Mac and Jac's a try.

BTW, if you're ever in Mt. Vernon, stop by and drink a couple pints at "The Porterhouse". It is right around 1st and Gates downtown and they have a constantly rotating list of about 20 West coast beers. Water Street Brewery in Port Townsend also worth a stop.
