Micro-Brewery Tasting

Leave 1:30 pm – Return by 5:00 pm ($50)

In recent years, the Moscow-Pullman area has seen a proliferation of breweries and other spaces to enjoy beer. Washington and Idaho are currently first and second in hop production, while Washington consistently ranks near the top of states with the most breweries. This outing will involve a trip to two of these local breweries. First, we will visit Moscow Brewing Company, the area’s only nanobrewery. Co-owner Andy Severson will talk about their relationship with farmers and how they use local ingredients in their beer and provide a tour, while you enjoy a tasting flight and bread made in-house. Our second visit will be to the newly opened Paradise Creek Trailside Taproom. Transportation, snacks and beer tastings are included. Minimum 10 participants, maximum 20 participants.
