Craft beer and ukuleles!? We are all about it! Our monthly Ukes in the Couve jam session got a special visitor last night. Mckinzie of Tonight with Cassidy of KGW News showed up and shared the love for this jam sessions and our group Ukes in the Couve! It was a packed house last night, and we were stoked to share the jams with them LIVE!

Our brew-loving ladies group Couve Brew Bevy had our first outing for what we are calling "Bevy on the Road." We volunteered at the recent Vancouver Brewfest in Esther Short park and poured craft beer for all those fest-goers to enjoy in Vancouver, Wa. Seventeen ladies volunteered and shared their passion of craft beer with fest goers, talked beer with craft beer lovers and novices alike, and then got the chance to hang out together after volunteering! This dynamic group of women who love beer are amazing and awesome and funny and kind and really make Couve Brew Bevy special!
A huge thank you goes out to .....(L to R in the photo below)...Hayley, Rachel, Amanda, Alicia, Annie, Ramona, Kimberly, Amy, Carol, Missy, Jenny, Lindsay, Tracy, Jovana!

This is a little gem of video that I made two years ago already! While it may be a few years old, it remains my love letter to American Craft Beer! Maybe Mike and I should make a new one soon cause well, we have a lot to be thankful for because of American craft beer and all the opportunity it provides us!? What do you think?
We can now fill 16 oz Cans for you to bring home with you!

During the 2nd annual North Bank Beer Week (Sept. 22 to 30), we invited North Bank Brewers to come into the taphouse and tell their stories. As the (tap)house of stories, we believe in the power of telling stories to connect with each other, new friends, and the community. North Bank brewers shared about their breweries, how they got into brewing/came to open their breweries, and their thoughts on being part of the North Bank. Here is the collective story emerging of the North Bank craft-beer scene as told by 15 North Bank (SW Washington Brewers)!
We already knew we have found ourselves part of a very exciting time in this community because of craft beer but after hearing their stories, we are even MORE excited to be a part of it all! We look forward to watching it grow and being a part of its continual growth!
