I love working with passionate<br />
people. I was so impressed to<br />
see how much time and care<br />
went into the art of brewing.<br />
As a cider drinker who cannot<br />
drink beer anymore because<br />
of the gluten, I’ve never<br />
wanted to try one so badly.<br />
True craftsmanship is alive<br />
and well here in the state of<br />
Washington. Cheers to that!<br />
(pg. 58)<br />
I do enough background<br />
research to come to my stories<br />
with a set of preconceived<br />
notions. What makes the<br />
reporting process worthwhile<br />
is when those preconceptions<br />
get torn up by reality. I’ve had<br />
plenty of traditional Belgian<br />
and American wilds, so I have<br />
come to expect sometimes<br />
bracing sourness in almost<br />
every bottle. But the direction<br />
Washington wild brewers are<br />
taking is entirely different—<br />
wild with restraint. A little<br />
yeast revolution is happening<br />
right now.<br />
(pg. 58)<br />
Driving out the country roads<br />
to find Triple Wren Farms was<br />
peaceful all on its own, but<br />
arriving on the farm property<br />
was so inviting and colorful.<br />
Sunflowers shining brightly,<br />
the widest variety of sweet pea<br />
flowers I have ever laid eyes on<br />
and a huge metal cooler painted<br />
with big yellow flowers welcome<br />
you as you come down the main<br />
drive. The owners of the farm<br />
told me how enlivened they<br />
are to have started this new<br />
life path and how much it has<br />
improved their quality of life.<br />
(pg. 64)<br />
It seemed fitting to research<br />
Leavenworth’s Oktoberfest last<br />
fall with my visiting Irish friend,<br />
since we had experienced<br />
the real festival together<br />
(in Munich!) many moons<br />
ago. Seeing Washington’s<br />
version of Bavaria through her<br />
eyes reminded me just how<br />
fortunate we are to have such<br />
culture and natural beauty<br />
in our midst. Leavenworth<br />
is a captivating destination<br />
in any season, and Sleeping<br />
Lady always leaves me feeling<br />
blissfully restored.<br />
