No way, man. The annexation of Point Roberts is number one in Canada's 'Manifest Destiny'. You can have Prince Edward Island.

Agreed Prince Edward although beautiful will go to the United States ..Point Roberts stays within Cascadia!

You and I both know Point Roberts is useless when directly bordering its own nation. How will they travel without having to cross two borders to get to their own country? It is inhumane.

I would like to bring another topic up for debate: There should be no freedom of speech in the constitution of Cascadia. This is a fatal flaw in the US consitution. I am tired of dip****s running their mouths with impunity.

OH wow no free speech !? But you brewed an LL Cool Brown how can you say these things? I think you should be ready for the flames my man

Yeast Starter worked like a dream for my new IPA brew ! i am offically a Yeast starter fan. I'm now in search of a McMenimans RUBY or RUBINATOR for the SWMBO! any help out there ?

Pliny the Elder was consumed this weekend if you live in or close to Tacoma go to the Red Hot and they have it all. Walking Man Homo Erectus IPA as well and all the Chimay you can handle. Enjoy it !

Hey I don't think there are any clubs or brewers here in Tacoma or surrounding areas. I want to start one that meets and whatnot. Is there any interested people on here that would like to get together sample each others goods and basically help each other out....?...anyone?

The Republic of Cascadia website is fantastic!!! and metric time? what a mind *u*k!

We were talkingabout this at work yesterday. I spent a week in the LA area about 10 years ago. THe day we left was their 210th day without rain.

Interesting i might have to check Powells Bookstore this weekend and read this.

AND whomever went to Red Hot and bought all ALL the cases of Pliney the Elder...that was inappropriate!

I love me some Powell's.

Best thing about Powells is that its a hop skip and a jump from Deschutes then a slight westerly trek to Rogue

Truth be told, I have not been to Powell's in years so I have not experienced this wonder. I will be in PDX the weekend of July 9 though...

why in PDX on business or can you pub crawl the city?!

That is so tempting. Long story short I am picking my daughter up from the airport and spending the weekend with family. She doesn't get in till 7 something though...

I think the flag on that site is horrible. I much prefer, and proudly fly this:

picture no worky

you have failed good sir please reestablish your awesomeness

That's just pathetic...Trying another link.

works now.

when i first saw the flag, i thought it was a hop cone on it not a tree cone.
