Best of Western Washington winners announced

The other day King 5 Evening Magazine announced the winners of the 2011 Best of Western Washington poll.  Below we list the winners and runners-up in the beer-related categories, of which there are too few.

Recognize that this is a poll;  how well a business ranks depends a lot on how well they were able to mobilize their fans. This is not a ranking based on empirical evidence. In some cases the results don’t make sense at all. For example, regardless of how popular Mac and Jack’s Brewery might be, it is not a beer store.

The Washington Beer Blog was nominated in the category Best Food Blog. Not exactly a great category for us, and Lord knows there is plenty of competition in that realm, but we aren’t complaining. We are proud to have come in third place! We didn’t really work that hard to mobilize the troops once we found out that we’d been nominated, so we are very happy with the outcome.

Thank you to everyone who voted for the Washington Beer Blog. Congratulations to the winners and runners-up listed below.
