Seattle Cider Company acquired by 2 Towns Ciderhouse and announces closure of brewery and taproom.
Those who are supporters of Seattle Cider Company’s taproom should visit the taproom one last time before its closure. Meanwhile, the presumption should be that Seattle Cider Company will remain mostly unchanged both in look and recipes. However, like any acquisition, time will tell.

Update: After days spent with vets, we made the unfortunate decision.
Short of their 8th birthday, we laid our beloved tuxedo cat to rest.
We thought we had more time. But we are also thankful for the time that she afforded us.
Hug your four-legged children tight for us.
Take care.

Rarely in all the years that we have existed on social media do we break from the subject at hand.
But for now, our responses will be delayed because our (nearly 8-year-old) bicolor cat's health has been declining steadily the past few weeks.

Daily beer question: How well do you know hops?
Like grapes, there's a difference between hops related to flavor, aroma, and finish. For instance, if you tasted stone fruit (e.g., peach, apricot) and tropical citrus (e.g., pineapple, passionfruit), could you guess the variety?

Golden in color with brilliant clarity, Fuggle Around offers aromas of fresh country loaf, soft herbal spice, and gentle floral earthiness. The mouthfeel is smooth and medium-full, balancing bready malt depth with firm but measured bitterness, finishing crisp, dry, and clean.
