I don’t post here often but, after reading the best of 2013 lists, I felt like you guys would benefit from some information I have...

There is another U.S. State just north of Oregon on the west coast and we have like 150 breweries here, some of them very good.

If you get a chance to stop by our neck of the woods, pay a few of them a visit. Once again, ours is the state right above the one that looks like a piece of bread. Ours kinda looks like a cartoonish sperm whale swimming east.

Richmond looks like bread to you?

Complaining here isn’t going to do anything. The awards are based on ratings of beers and places. Since you have rated zero of either, you kind of don’t have much room to complain about Washington (not) getting recognition.

Who said I was complaining? I thought I made it pretty clear I am trying to be helpful. Hell, I invited everyone to come have a beer. What could be friendlier?

Giving away free money.

Perhaps it was an error on my part, but most of the post came off in sort of a sarcastic tone and as though there was a feeling of being slighted.

I’d settle for a free beer.

I think the problem is that you came in with your invitation with a sideways jab at the "Best of" rankings as if we have collectively snubbed Washington. I would love to set up a trade with you for some locals. Hit me up!
