Vancouver Washington is not known for beer. It has Portland across the river and it’s namesake in Canada has a nice little scene too.
But there is a gem that needs visiting. It is on my Beer List and my next trip north I am going to By The Bottle. And there is one cool reason why. (As if the great bottle selection is not enough of a draw).
They have a relatively new tap room! And on Tuesdays, they “…plug in the electronic ice BUCKet and sample a beer for a BUCK. This is a cool and economic way to try a brand or style you’ve been eying. Why experiment with the whole bottle when you can BUCK-it!?”
And speaking of the tap room, here is a recent list of beers on tap:
