There are currently almost 400 breweries in the state of Washington, and that number seems to be increasing every year, much to our delight. Considering the Yakima Valley produces so many of the nation’s hops, it’s fitting that we should embrace our beer-loving nature. But even if you don’t do the brew, you’ll appreciate the delicious food and peaceful ambiance at Backwoods Brewing Company. While it’s quite a drive for most Washingtonians, it’s well worth it.

Backwoods Brewing Company is located in the charming little city of Carson, along the Columbia River Gorge.
