Washington Beer Blog Frequently Asked Questions, FAQs
Our first post went live in October of 2008. It was a short, modest story about a beer event taking place in Seattle.
Kendall Jones and his wife, Kim Jones, are the ones responsible for bringing the Washington Beer Blog to life and keeping it going.
He’s the one who does most of the content creation on the Washington Beer Blog. He describes himself as a beer lover, just like you, but he has always wanted to know more about what he’s drinking than most people do. Long before starting to write about beer, he was subscribing to beer-focused magazines and newsletters. At some point, it occurred to him that others might want to know about all the things he was learning. So, that’s where it started.
Seattle is the shortest answer. We primarily focus on the craft beer scene in the Pacific Northwest, but sometimes look beyond it.
We wanted to create a single source for news and information about Washington-brewed beer. We imagine our site performing as a sort of neighborhood blog for people who want to know more about what is happening on the local beer and brewing scene.
At the top of this page, you’ll find our social media handles, as well as an email address. Email remains the best way to contact us if you want us to share your story.

For more than 15 years, I’ve worked in the craft beer industry as a journalist, freelance writer, and event producer. My work for Seattle magazine, Sip Magazine, USA Today, Beer Advocate, Outdoors NW, and others can be found at kendalljones.net.
Who’s Behind the Washington Beer Blog?
Along with my wife, Kim Jones, I operate the Washington Beer Blog. We’ve been here for a long time: we launched the blog back in 2008. We’ve seen a lot of changes in the world of beer in that time. Together, Kim and I work hard to keep our finger on the pulse of the beer scene up here in the Pacific Northwest and across the nation.
Kim and I have built a lot of relationships in the industry. We’ve made a lot of great friends. We are fiercely loyal to our local, independent breweries and are proud to advocate on their behalf, using the Washington Beer Blog as our megaphone.
But it doesn’t stop there. I am a Seattle-based journalist and freelance writer who has published over 6,000 distinct stories (mostly online), sharing news and information about the beer and brewing scene in Washington, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond.
