Brewery: Roslyn Brewing CompanyLocation: Roslyn, Washington, USA
k
About an hour and half east of Seattle is the small town (pop. 1,020) of Roslyn, Washington. If you’ve never heard of Roslyn and you find yourself driving through, it may seem eerily familiar. This is because Roslyn was the town where the show Northern Exposure did a bulk of its filming.
The familiar Roslyn Café sign is there and down the street is the show’s famous watering hole, The Brick. The Brick is actually the “oldest operating tavern under a single name in the State of Washington” as well as a tourist destination for many fans of the show. Northern Exposure’s first season ran in 1990. This was also the same year that the Roslyn Brewing Company began brewing beer. If only it was called the Cicely Brewing Company, imagine the product placement!
The Roslyn Brewing Company brews two beers and a root beer. According to their website, the brew their beer using “only the finest ingredients, including malted barley grown in the Northwest, hops grown in the Yakima Valley, and ice cold snow-fed water from the heart of the Cascades, to produce a full-bodied brew with a flavor that some say has been missing in domestic beers since the enactment of Prohibition.”
When I do my Pacific Northwest trip, whenever that is, I plan on taking a side trip out to Roslyn. I’d love to see some of the locations where Northern Exposure was filmed and definitely try some of the local beer.
