Yakattack

Compared to Seattle and Portland, there aren't a whole lot of craft beer options in this part of the world. I saw one called "Lazy Yak" at the bottle shop, and decided to give it a try. Only after I gave the label a more in-depth read did I realize that the name of the beer is derived from the growing region of the hops used in the beer: the Yakima Valley! I think of all the times I drove through those hop fields in unincorporated Yakima County to get to my piano lessons, and am a little bit amazed that they made it all the way to Sydney. The beer wasn't half bad, either.
