Bale Breaker

This weekend, travel to events happening in Moxee, West Valley, Grandview, downtown Yakima, and all over the Yakima Valley.

The Original Fresh Hop Ale Festival is back. Saturday, October 2nd, mark your calendar for an amazing evening of Fresh Hop Ales, Wine, Ciders, fantastic foods, live music, and more. Plus, this year's event will be taking place at a new venue, the Sozo Sports Complex.

If it's happened once it's happened a hundred times. The moment when someone discovers that I live in Yakima and begins asking questions like 'Is everyone in a gang'? I'll sigh and say, no, not everyone. It's strange that perceptions are a reality for people and until they experience something for themselves, like how awesome it is to live in the Yakima Valley. They just don't know any better.

Definitely one of my favorite brewing companies, our very own Bale Breaker Brewing Company, wasn't merely named one of the top 101 beers in the United States -- it placed in the top 10!

Today marked the grand opening of Bale Breaker Brewing Company's taproom where you can visit and have a pint or even get a growler (jug) filled to take home. Here are a few pictures and what you can expect to find there.
