Schooner Exact Honors Bartell’s 125th Anniversary

It’s pretty cool how Bartell Drugs embraces and supports the craft beer culture. The fact that they fill growlers at three of the Seattle-area stores is quite remarkable. (At least, there are three I know of.) A drug store that fills growlers? Makes sense to me!

Schooner Exact Brewing produced a special beer to celebrate Bartell Drugs’ 125th anniversary. Boxcar Hopper pays homage to the fact that George Bartell hopped on a boxcar back in Kansas City and ended up in Seattle, where he eventually started his first pharmacy 125 years ago.

Four generations later, brothers Hugh and Neal Barber, Bartell’s great grandsons, have hopped on the opportunity to have their family company partner with Schooner Exact in this celebration of pride for the pioneering spirit of Washington’s independent craft brewers.

About the Beer
