The planning


Four friends begin a journey together to find great beer in Cascadia. Along the way we hope to find moments of introspection as we solve many of the world’s problems (as defined by us). We will find the beach, we will find the best beer in Cascadia (21 breweries on the agenda). Camaraderie and friendship is the foundation of this excursion into beer mecca with some destinations known and others unknown.  We follow the philosophy of Lebowski, “The dude Abides”.  

            We invite our friends and family to follow us on this escapade.  Our posts on this blog will of course remain G-Rated and those of you who know us best will read between the lines and find the truths. 

            Here are some pictures from our final planning meeting.  Departure date is July 2, 2012.  We will post several times each day.  We will most likely have several posts on Facebook as well.

            Enjoy the trip, we know we will…
